“…Pasquetti y col (Pasquetti et al, 2021) señalan que las personas con ECNT definen su calidad de vida como mala, los resultados relacionaron la calidad de vida con la edad, el color, la situación profesional, los ingresos, la duración de la enfermedad y la frecuencia de las consultas. Martínez y Col (Martinez Tyson et al, 2021) además añaden que el consumo inadecuado de comidas rápidas y procesadas afecta la calidad de vida y aumenta el riesgo de padecer ECNT. Hajri y Col (Hajri et al, 2021) describen en su estudio que la etiología de la hipertensión arterial influye en la calidad de vida de los adultos enfermos.…”

Las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT) son un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades que no son contagiosas, es decir, no son transmisibles de persona a persona, y generalmente tienen causas complejas. Con la finalidad de fundamentar acerca de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles y la calidad de vida en el Ecuador, se realizó una investigación de diseño documental y el tipo de estudio fue descriptivo de nivel explicativo, donde se realizó una revisión bibliográfica cualitativa, la recopilación de información de artículos científicos publicados desde el 2014 hasta la actualidad, abarcando extensamente una serie de datos con valor académico, referentes al tema a investigar de manera selectiva y precisa, y así posteriormente a la síntesis respectivo de dicha información. Se incluyeron en la búsqueda de información tanto artículos originales como de revisión y se excluyeron artículos de más de 10 años de antigüedad y en su versión incompleta, se obtuvo como resultado que dentro de la república del Ecuador las principales enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles son las enfermedades respiratorias (75%), hipertensión arterial(63%), la diabetes mellitus tipo II (38,5) y que la calidad de vida se ve altamente afectada ante la presencia o el padecimiento de este tipo de enfermedades, se concluyó que las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles son comunes por afectar a la población en general, se suelen asociar a diferentes factores que vincula sus efectos a la aparición de dichas enfermedades.

“…This can be better understood when viewed in the context of the Ecuadorian Amazon, where limited access to health centres impedes both detection and recording of cancer among indigenous people. It is also important to note the consequences of oil extraction in these regions, with several communities reporting unprecedented changes in their diet and lifestyle due to increasing modernization [ 44 ]. While commercialization of the Amazon has introduced road infrastructure, it has not yielded an improvement in educational or healthcare development [ 45 ].…”

With cancer accounting for 19% of deaths and projected to rise in the coming years, Ecuador’s inequities in healthcare coverage remain a major concern for the rural, indigenous populations. While the cancer burden among this vulnerable population has been much publicized in the context of the controversial oil extraction in the Amazon, there is contradictory evidence on its occurrence and determinants. This review critically discusses the available literature on cancer among indigenous people in Ecuador and explores the link between oil exploitation and cancer occurrence among indigenous people using a scoping review approach. The results of this review show there is a clear but inconsistent association between oil exposure and cancer risk in indigenous populations of Ecuador. While the environmental magnitude of oil extraction in this region is a topic of debate, our findings point to the interplay with social determinants and other sources of carcinogenic compounds, which exacerbates the risks faced by indigenous communities. Based on these findings, this study puts forward three arguments to contextualize the occurrence of cancer related to oil exploitation in the Amazon, and puts forth key recommendations for public health initiatives embedded within the local community.

“…First, a thorough understanding of the burden of lung cancer and liver cancer, especially the variations between countries and regions, is useful in uncovering the heterogeneity in the global burden of cancer and assisting precision prevention worldwide. Second, by investigating the risk factors for liver and lung cancer in different regions, it is possible to reveal the evolution of multiple classical cancer risk factors in the context of globalization, which has been highlighted in several previous researches [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Lung cancer and liver cancer are the leading and third causes of cancer death, respectively. Both lung and liver cancer are with clear major risk factors. A thorough understanding of their burdens in the context of globalization, especially the convergences and variations among WHO regions, is useful in precision cancer prevention worldwide and understanding the changing epidemiological trends with the expanding globalization. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) and WHO Global Health Observatory (GHO) database were analyzed to evaluate the burden metrics and risk factors of trachea, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer and liver cancer. Western Pacific Region (WPR) had the highest age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) for both liver cancer (11.02 [9.62–12.61] per 100,000 population) and TBL cancer (38.82 [33.63–44.04] per 100,000 population) in 2019. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for liver and TBL cancer elevated with the increasing sociodemographic index (SDI) level, except for liver cancer in WPR and TBL cancer in European Region (EUR). Region of the Americas (AMR) showed the biggest upward trends of liver cancer age-standardized rates (ASRs), as well as the biggest downward trends of TBL cancer ASRs, followed by Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Alcohol use and smoking were the leading cause of liver and TBL cancer death in most WHO regions. Variances of ASRs for liver and TBL cancer among WHO memberships have been decreasing during the past decade. The homogenization and convergence of cancer burdens were also demonstrated in different agegroups and sexes and in the evolution of associated risk factors and etiology. In conclusion, our study reflects the variations and convergences in the liver and lung cancer burdens among the WHO regions with the developing globalization, which suggests that we need to be acutely aware of the global homogeneity of the disease burden that accompanies increasing globalization, including the global convergences in various populations, risk factors, and burden metrics.
