A Espanya, l’any 2012, es va aprovar el RDL 16/2012 que excloïa les persones immigrants indocumentades del sistema sanitari públic. Catalunya no va aplicar aquesta legislació i va continuar garantint l’assistència sanitària a tota la població. L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és analitzar l’ús dels serveis sanitaris i l’estat de salut de les persones immigrants indocumentades a Catalunya, comparar-les amb les residents legals classificades d’acord amb el seu nivell socioeconòmic (SEP). Mètodes. Es va dur a terme un estudi transversal amb dades administratives individuals. L’estudi va incloure la població resident a Catalunya l’any 2017, de 65 anys o menys, i amb una renda màxima de 18.000€ anuals, classificada en tres grups: SEP baix, SEP molt baix i immigrants indocumentats. Es van analitzar els indicadors referents a l’ús dels serveis sanitaris (atenció primària, urgències, salut mental, hospitalitzacions), prescripció de medicaments, i malalties cròniques i infeccioses. Resultats. Es va incloure un total de 4.071.088 persones residents a Catalunya, un 2,8% (113,450) de les quals eren immigrants indocumentades. D’entre totes les persones immigrants indocumentades, un 61,0% de dones i un 46,0% d’homes havia estat atès a centres d’atenció primària: aquests percentatges d’atenció van ser menors ens els qui tenien un SEP molt baix (84,8% en dones i 72,1% en homes). Les taxes d’hospitalització entre els homes amb SEP molt baix eren tres vegades més altes que en immigrants indocumentats (111,6 versus 35,7). La taxa de tuberculosi més alta es va trobar en homes immigrants indocumentats (4,35%). Conclusions. Les persones immigrants indocumentades van utilitzar menys els serveis sanitaris que les de SEP baix i molt baix, però les seves taxes de diagnòstic d’algunes malalties infeccioses eren més altes. Aquests resultats constitueixen un argument addicional que dona suport al manteniment de la cobertura sanitària universal per a tota la ciutadania.

Purpose To investigate the association between exposure to traffic-related air pollution and use of spectacles (as a surrogate measure for myopia) in schoolchildren. Methods We analyzed the impact of exposure to NO2 and PM2.5 light absorbance at home (predicted by land-use regression models) and exposure to NO2 and black carbon (BC) at school (measured by monitoring campaigns) on the use of spectacles in a cohort of 2727 schoolchildren (7-10 years old) in Barcelona (2012-2015). We conducted cross-sectional analyses based on lifelong exposure to air pollution and prevalent cases of spectacles at baseline data collection campaign as well as longitudinal analyses based on incident cases of spectacles use and exposure to air pollution during the three-year period between the baseline and last data collection campaigns. Logistic regression models were developed to quantify the association between spectacles use and each of air pollutants adjusted for relevant covariates. Results An interquartile range increase in exposure to NO2 and PM2.5 absorbance at home was respectively associated with odds ratios (95%confidence intervals (CIs)) for spectacles use of 1.16 (1.03, 1.29) and 1.13 (0.99, 1.28) in cross-sectional analyses and 1.15 (1.00, 1.33) and 1.23 (1.03, 1.46) in longitudinal analyses. Similarly, odds ratio (95%CIs) of spectacles use associated with an interquartile range increase in exposures to NO2 and black carbon at school was respectively 1.32 (1.09, 1.59) and 1.13 (0.97, 1.32) in cross-sectional analyses and 1.12 (0.84, 1.50) and 1.27 (1.03, 1.56) in longitudinal analyses. These findings were robust to a range of sensitivity analyses that we conducted. Conclusion We observed increased risk of spectacles use associated with exposure to traffic-related air pollution. These findings require further confirmation by future studies applying more refined outcome measures such as quantified visual acuity and separating different types of refractive errors. © 2017 Dadvand et al.

Characterizing exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields from wireless telecommunications technologies during childhood and adolescence is a research priority in investigating the health effects of RF. The Mobi-Expo study aimed to describe characteristics and determinants of cellular phone use in 534 young people (10-24years) in 12 countries. The study used a specifically designed software application installed on smartphones to collect data on the use of wireless telecommunications devices within this age group. The role of gender, age, maternal education, calendar period, and country was evaluated through multivariate models mutually adjusting for all variables. Call number and duration were higher among females compared to males (geometric mean (GM) ratio 1.17 and 1.42, respectively), among 20-24year olds compared to 10-14year olds (GM ratio 2.09 and 4.40, respectively), and among lowest compared to highest social classes (GM ratio 1.52 and 1.58, respectively). The number of SMS was higher in females (GM ratio 1.46) and the middle age group (15-19year olds: GM ratio 2.21 compared to 10-14year olds) and decreased over time. Data use was highest in the oldest age group, whereas Wi-Fi use was highest in the middle age group. Both data and Wi-Fi use increased over time. Large differences in the number and duration of calls, SMS, and data/Wi-Fi use were seen by country, with country and age accounting for up to 50% of the variance. Hands-free and laterality of use did not show significant differences by sex, age, education, study period, or country. Although limited by a convenience sample, these results provide valuable insights to the design, analysis, and interpretation of future epidemiological studies concerning the health effects of exposure resulting from cellular phone use in young people. In addition, the information provided by this research may be used to design strategies to minimize RF exposure; Dans le cadre de l'étude internationale MOBIKIDS, l'objectif de cette étude est de mieux connaitre l'exposition aux radiofréquences des technologies numériques de communications utilisées ppar les jeunes, afin de mieux évaluer leur exposition ds le cadre de l'étude Cas -témoin MOBIKIDS sur les relations entre exposition aux radiofréquences et tumeurs du cerveau chez l'adolescent et le jeune adulte.
