Objective. To analyze the association of changes in social security (SS) continuity and mortality, using the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS) in people aged 60 years and more. Materials and methods. Retrospective cohort. We analyzed the SS continuity condition -classified as stable, unstable with SS, unstable without SS, and without SS- and its relation with mortality; a probit regression model was utilized to obtain marginal effects, taking into consideration covariates related to mortality. Results. Unstable continuity with and without SS and multimorbidity (two or more diseases) increased the probability of dying by 52.9% (p = 0.000, 95%CI: 0.508,0.551), 50.3% (p = 0.000, 95%CI: 0.474,0.531) and 13.3% (p = 0.000, 95%CI: 0.108,0.159), respectively. Meanwhile, being woman, at least one year of formal education, and marriage reduced it in 8.8% (p = 0.000, 95%CI: -0.106,-0.071), 7% (p = 0.000, 95%CI: -0.091,-0.050) and 7.8% (p = 0.000, 95%CI: -0.096,-0.061), respectively. Conclusion. Belonging to SS was associated with higher mortality, compared to other social health determinants, like education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The backbone of food allergy treatment is the restriction of causative foods. These interventions have shown that children who restrict the consumption of basic foods have a higher risk of malnutrition. The aim of the study was to identify the nutritional status of patients with elimination diet, characterizing their anthropometric indexes and identifying the percentage of patients in the group with true food allergies., Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from January to October 2014 at the Hospital Infantil de Mexico Federico Gomez. Patients 1 to 11 years of age with a history of elimination of at least one of five foods (eggs, milk, wheat, corn, soybeans) for a minimum of 6 months were included. Full nutritional assessment was performed by comparing the anthropometric indexes to z score for age. Data analysis used descriptive statistics. Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation were performed., Results: The most frequent eliminated foods were milk, soy, eggs, corn, and wheat. Comparing the number of foods eliminated with different anthropometric indexes, with a greater amount of eliminated food, the z-score of weight/age (W/A), height/age (H/A) and weight/height (W/H) were lower and the most affected index was fat reserve. Only in 5% of children was food allergy confirmed., Conclusions: The study confirms the need for nutrition counseling for patients who have elimination diets and overdiagnosis of food allergy., (Copyright © 2015.

Background: Birth without medical assistance, or outs hospitals is defined as one that occurs without the optimal medical and health care conditions for mother and son pairing. Frequency of this phenomenon is not known in Mexico., Objective: To observe clinical outcomes, morbidity, mortality, epidemiological and geographical patterns., Material and Method: A retrospective study including newborns of mothers who have had deliveries without medical assistance in accidental conditions, admitted to Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales Externos, Hospital Civil de Guadalajara Fray Antonio Alcalde (Mexico). From January 2000 to December 2009., Results: In 4,762 (100%) neonatal records evaluated, 582 (12%) were newborns birth for deliveries out of hospital. 314 (54%) female and 268 (46%) male, first mother's gravidity 195 (33%) and second o more gravidity 387 (68%) were registered. The Hospital stay average was 3-day. Discharge diagnoses: healthy 463 (79%), neonatal sepsis 16 (4%), respiratory distress 35 (6%), jaundice 33 (6%), pneumonia 12 (2%), metabolic disorders 13 (3%), other diagnoses 10 (2%). Place of births: 366 Guadalajara metropolitan area (63%), state of Jalisco, 180 (31%) other states of the Mexican Republic 36 (6%). Lambed at home 117 (20%), 52 bath home (9%), toilet bowl 29 (5%), car 128 (22%), road 58 (10%), hospital admission 104 (18%), Ambulance 42 (7%) Other 52 (9%)., Conclusion: In our study we observed that 79% of the newborns were healthy. They are the third leading cause of admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit External. The most common neonatal complications were solved without consequence. No neonatal mortality cases were founded.
