Reversal of the Upward Trend of Obesity in Boys, but Not in Girls, in Spain

Background: To compare the prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys and girls and to estimate socioeconomic differences associated with obesity in Spain in 1997, 2007, and 2017. (2) Methods: Data were drawn from national health interview surveys. For each year of study, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was measured, and these results were compared by gender (boy/girl) and socioeconomic status (low/high education). (3) Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity rose from 1997 to 2007 but then fell in 2017 in all subgroups except in girls aged 10 to 15 years. In this group, there was a steady increase in the prevalence of both overweight (1997, 14.6%; 2007, 17.7%; 2017, 19.6%) and obesity (1.1, 3.2, and 3.7%, respectively). The decrease in prevalence of overweight in both sexes and of obesity in boys, along with the increase in prevalence of obesity in girls, was of a higher magnitude in children whose parents had a lower educational level. (4) Conclusions: The apparent turnaround in the obesity epidemic in Spain should be interpreted with caution. Children’s body weight is influenced by both gender and socioeconomic status—considerations that should be kept in mind when designing health promotion intervention

Sports facilities, socio-economic context and overweight among the childhood population in two southern European cities: a cross sectional study

Background: To evaluate relationship between socio-economic environment and overweight in Madrid and Barcelona, adjusting for possible confounding factors. Methods: We obtained three indicators which reflected socio-economic context, namely, unemployment rate, percentage of population with tertiary education, and percentage with a second home. The design is a cross sectional study. The association with overweight was estimated using odds ratios by multilevel logistic regression. The statistical analysis, data synthesis, or model creation was performed from the 2017. In all, 707 children from 21 districts of Madrid and 474 children from 10 districts of Barcelona were analysed. Results: In Madrid, standardised ORs for personal and family characteristics were 1.17, 1.53 and 1.57 by reference to unemployment rate and percentages of population with a university education and second home. After adjustment, only the OR obtained with unemployment rate decreased, specifically by 58%. In Barcelona, the following ORs were obtained: 1.80 with unemployment rate; 1.80 with population having a university education; and 1.86 with population having a second home. After being standardised, these ORs decreased by 14% in the case of unemployment rate, 10% in the case of population with a university education, and 9% in the case of population with a second home. Conclusions: Overweight displayed a risk gradient in Madrid and Barcelona alike. This risk of overweight is not accounted for by physical inactivity and could, in part, be due to the availability of sports facilities.Ministerio de Ciencia e InnovaciónDepto. de Salud Pública y Materno - InfantilFac. de MedicinaTRUEpu

Encouraging self-learning through the construction of multiple-choice tests (II)

El presente proyecto de innovación docente tenia como objetivo poner a disposición de los alumnos un repositorio de preguntas tipo test de diversa naturaleza (verdadero/falso, multirrespuesta, matching questions) que ellos mismos elaborarán, revisarán y validarán para que les sea de ayuda a optimizar y mejorar su autoaprendizaje, y lo que es más importante, implementar y mejorar su rendimiento académico. Se diseñaron dos simulacros. Cada simulacro se realizó de forma consecutiva. Cabe destacar como el impacto que ha generado en el proyecto de innovación educativa del que se pretende dar continuidad, ha sido la creación de un repositorio de preguntas de exámenes tipo test. Este repositorio no solo ha dado lugar a la generación de dos exámenes compuesto íntegramente por preguntas elaboradas por los estudiantes, sino que además servirá para futuras actividades de los próximos alumnos matriculados en la asignatura de Salud PúblicaThe objective of this teaching innovation project was to provide students with a repository of test-type questions of various types (true/false, multi-answer, matching questions) that they themselves will develop, review and validate to help them optimize and improve their self-learning, and more importantly, to implement and improve their academic performance. Two simulations were designed. Each simulation was carried out consecutively. It is worth mentioning that the impact generated in the educational innovation project, which we intend to continue, has been the creation of a repository of multiple-choice exam questions. This repository has not only resulted in the generation of two exams composed entirely of questions prepared by the students, but will also serve for future activities of the next students enrolled in the subject of Public Health.Depto. de Salud Pública y Materno - InfantilFac. de MedicinaFALSEsubmitte
