“…To mitigate the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in March 2020 the Argentinian Government decided for strict lockdown measurements that included suspension of in-person schooling and closure of playgrounds, recreational facilities, and non-essential services [ 1 ]. Strict lockdown measurements were not eased until November 2020; [ 2 ] Argentina suffered one of the most prolonged lockdown periods worldwide [ 3 ]. Throughout 2021, the restrictions were gradually reduced and schools reopened partially in March with a hybrid learning pattern that combined equally in-person and online learning, and in September full in-person classes were resumed.…”

Background Further investigation is needed to define the impact of long-term pandemic lockdown in children. Objectives To examine changes in body mass index z-score (zBMI), lifestyle, Health-Related Quality of Life and proportion of overweight or obesity (OW/OB) in 6- to 9-year-old children in Argentina. Methods Observational study with baseline measurements prior to lockdown and follow-up after eight months of strict restrictive measures (November 2020, first visit, n = 144) and after ten months of partial reopening (September 2021, second visit, n = 108). Anthropometric changes from baseline to first visit in lockdown group (LG) were compared with a historical control group (HCG, n = 134). Follow-up visits included anthropometric measures, lifestyle questionnaire and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Results Change in zBMI was higher in LG [median, IQR: 0.46 (−0.00; 0.83)] vs HCG [median, IQR: 0.02 (−0.31; 0.27)]; p < 0.001, particularly in children with pre-existing OW/OB. In LG, zBMI was higher at first and second visit vs baseline ( p < 0.001) and in second visit vs first visit for boys ( p = 0.037) but not for girls. The proportion of children with OW/OB increased from baseline (43.5%) to first (56.5%) and second visit (58.3%) ( p = 0.029). Unlike girls, the proportion of boys with OW/OB increased from baseline to first and second visit ( p = 0.045). Change in zBMI was higher in children with less healthy habits ( p < 0.001). Conclusions Weight gain continued to increase in boys when lockdown measurements were eased, although sedentary behaviors decreased and quality of life improved, indicating that the effects of pandemic lockdown could be difficult to reverse.

“…L'Argentine a affiché des positions plus avancées, avec une réduction en valeur absolue de ses émissions, mais ses objectifs restent insuffisants par rapport aux enjeux globaux du changement climatique. Pour l'ensemble du continent, très durement frappé par la pandémie de Covid-19, la très sévère récession économique de 2020 a signifié une réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (Ise et al, 2021) et les plans de relance économique devraient entrainer une remontée rapide, d'autant que les pays font généralement le choix d'une réactivation reposant sur les secteurs traditionnels des énergies fossiles plutôt que le pari d'un changement de modèle reposant sur les renouvelables, car ce sont les solutions les plus simples et les plus rapides à mettre en place.…”

La notion de transition énergétique est mobilisée pour décrire les évolutions des systèmes énergétiques sans toujours prendre en compte leur dimension territoriale. C'est ce que propose cet article en prenant l'Amérique Latine comme cas d'étude. Dans un premier temps il insiste sur le poids des héritages qui ont façonné les systèmes énergétiques du continent au XXe siècle en lien avec l'affirmation des Etats et des compagnies publiques pour fournir une couverture large de services énergétiques. Dans un second temps, l'article analyse les projets pouvant contribuer à une transition énergétique et à une réduction des émissions de GES. Il montre qu'en dépit de ressources abondantes pour les énergies renouvelables et de programmes pionniers, la transition reste encore limitée. Enfin, les conditions d'une transition énergétique adaptée au contexte latino-américain sont présentées Mots clés : Transition énergétique, changement climatique, politiques publiques, énergies renouvelables, territoires.

“…This was noteworthy in Latin America, where almost 80% of the population lives in cities [ 6 ] and deep-rooted inequalities affect cities in this region. Countries as Argentina, that went through a long and strict lockdown, as a mean of avoiding healthcare services collapse [ 7 ], showed a greater impact on slums dwellers or other lower income groups [ 8 ]. These spatial differences could be explained by contextual characteristics where social distance and isolation were difficult to maintain over time.…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how intraurban inequalities are likely to reinforce health and social inequalities. Studies at small area level help to visualize social inequialities hidden in large areas as cities or regions. Aim To describe the spatial patterning of COVID-19 death rates in neighborhoods of the medium-sized city of Bariloche, Argentina, and to explore its relationship with the socioeconomic characteristics of neighborhoods. Methods We conducted an ecological study in Bariloche, Argentina. The outcome was counts of COVID-19 deaths between June 2020 and May 2022 obtained from the surveillance system and georeferenced to neighborhoods. We estimated crude- and age-adjusted death rates by neighborhood using a Bayesian approach through a Poisson regression that accounts for spatial-autocorrelation via Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) structure. We also analyzed associations of age-adjusted death rates with area-level socioeconomic indicators. Results Median COVID-19 death rate across neighborhoods was 17.9 (10th/90th percentile of 6.3/35.2) per 10,000 inhabitants. We found lower age-adjusted rates in the city core and western part of the city. The age-adjusted death rate in the most deprived areas was almost double than in the least deprived areas, with an education-related relative index of inequality (RII) of 2.14 (95% CI 1.55 to 2.96). Conclusion We found spatial heterogeneity and intraurban variability in age-adjusted COVID-19 death rates, with a clear social gradient, and a higher burden in already deprived areas. This highlights the importance of studying inequalities in health outcomes across small areas to inform placed-based interventions.
