A century of trends in adult human height
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2016-07-26) Guerrero Carvajal, Ramiro
Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height for people born between 1896 and 1996 in 200 countries. The largest gain in adult height over the past century has occurred in South Korean women and Iranian men, who became 20.2 cm (95% credible interval 17.5-22.7) and 16.5 cm (13.3- 19.7) taller, respectively. In contrast, there was little change in adult height in some sub-Saharan African countries and in South Asia over the century of analysis. The tallest people over these 100 years are men born in the Netherlands in the last quarter of 20th century, whose average heights surpassed 182.5 cm, and the shortest were women born in Guatemala in 1896 (140.3 cm; 135.8- 144.8). The height differential between the tallest and shortest populations was 19-20 cm a century ago, and has remained the same for women and increased for men a century later despite substantial changes in the ranking of countries. © NCD Risk Factor Collaboration.
A social network analysis of substance use among immigrant adolescents in six European cities
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016-11-01) Alves, Joana E.
Background Social integration and the health of adolescents with a migration background is a major concern in multicultural societies. The literature, however, has paid little attention to the wider determinants of their health behaviours, including the composition of their social networks. The aim of this study was to describe the composition of adolescents’ social networks according to migration background, and to examine how social networks are associated with substance use. Method In 2013, the SILNE study surveyed 11,015 secondary-school adolescents in 50 schools in six European cities in Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal, using a social network design. Each adolescent nominated up to five of their best and closest friends. Migration status was defined as first-generation migrants, second-generation migrants, and speaking another language at home
Alcohol use disorders and psychiatric diseases in Colombia
(Facultad de Salud de la Universidad del Valle, 2016-01-01) Rincón Hoyos, Hernán Gilberto
Background: An accurate understanding of co-occurrence and comorbidity of alcohol use disorders (AUD) in Colombia is crucial for public health. Objective: A secondary analysis was conducted, using a 2003/2004 governments population database to determine the lifetime associations between AUD and other mental and addictive disorders in people of Colombia aged 18-65 years. Methods: Several statistical analysis were performed: testing prevalence difference in mental disorders by whether the individual had an AUD; a stratified analysis by gender and logistic regression analyses accounting for differences in demographic, socio-economic, behavioral and self-reported health status variables. Results: People with AUD comprised 9% of the population, of which 88% were males and on average 37 years old. They were more likely to be males, be working, and be current smokers; and less likely to be at home or retired. The population with AUD had greater chance to comply with criteria for all disorders but minor depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, nicotine dependence, and oppositional defiant disorder. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a high prevalence of mental disorders in the adult population with AUD in Colombia. The findings highlight the importance of comorbidity as a sign of disease severity and impact on public health and supports the need for training of more professionals and developing appropriate interventions and services. © 2016.

Cámaras de fotodetección y accidentalidad vial. Evidencia para la ciudad de Cali
(Universidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economia, 2016-01-01) González, Juan F.
This paper aims to evaluate the impact of photo detection cameras installed in the city of Cali (Colombia) in 2012 on road accidents. Using 10.146 intersections with accident records for the period 2010-2013, a matching algorithm is used to identify a control group. Using different estimators, an evaluation of total accidents, damages and injuries is carried for treated intersections, compared to the control group, after the cameras were installed. Findings show an increase in all types of accident records on the four intersections treated in January 2012, this effect is reduced for those intersections treated in May, and it disappears in those treated in August. The main conclusions are that accidents were not reduced by the camera program and that accident history was not the criterion for treatment assignment. © 2016 Universidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economia.

Capital requirements of health insurers under different risk-adjusted capitation payments
(Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2017-02-01) Guerrero Carvajal, Ramiro
Defining optimal capital requirements for health insurers is a matter of interest for policy-makers. They determine the insolvency probability of health insurers and the minimum number of enrolees in order to keep insolvency under control. In this paper we develop a methodology for estimating the expected loss per health insurer after considering their specific risk profile and the capitation formula with which they are paid. We assume the expected loss follows a normal distribution within risk pools consisting of a unique combination of long-term disease, age, gender, and location, and then define the minimum capital requirement as the 1st quantile of the loss distribution. An application is made for insurers in the statutory health care system of Colombia.
Case Study: HIV/AIDS in the Context of the Colombian Health Care Reform
(Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economia de la Salud - PROESA, 2012-07-01) Castro, Héctor
Starting in the early nineties, Colombia, the third most populous country in Latin America, implemented a profound reform of its health system. A universal social health insurance system was created. The new system collects funds centrally, and allows for multiple competing plans that receive risk adjusted capitated payments and are responsible for delivering a basic and legally mandated basket of services. This case reviews how the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been managed in the context of this reform. The inclusion of Antiretroviral (ARV) in the mandated basic basket proved a powerful mechanism for ensuring access to care. Results are less clear, and to some extent disappointing, for prevention activities.
Control of hypertension with medication: a comparative analysis of national surveys in 20 countries
(World Health Organization, 2014-01-01) Murraye, Christopher JL.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major contributor to the global disease burden and was responsible for 7% of all disability-adjusted life years in 2010.1 Moreover, the number of people with uncontrolled hypertension has increased to around 1 billion worldwide in the past three decades.2 As a result, the effective control of hypertension has become a priority for global health policy and, with growing interest in the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs),3 it is vital that health-care systems deliver appropriate interventions for tackling high blood pressure.
