“…Older adults with systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg 21 were considered hypertensive. Obesity assessment was based on anthropometric measurements of weight and height, which were converted into body mass indexes [BMI = weight (kg)/height (m 2 )] and compared with indicators of nutritional status: underweight (BMI ≤23.0 kg/ m 2 ); normal weight (BMI >23.0 and <28.0 kg/m 2 ); overweight (BMI ≥28.0 and <30.0 kg/m 2 ) and obesity (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m 2 ) established by the World Health Organization 22 . Based on these values, the older adults were classified as obese (BMI ≥30.0 kg/ m 2 ) and non-obese (other BMI values).…”

Objective Describing the prevalence and incidence of cognitive impairment in older adults, considering the isolated and combined presence of leisure-time physical activities, hypertension, and obesity. Methods An observational, analytical, cohort study was conducted based on the data records of baseline (2008-2009) and follow-up (2016-2017) from the Campinas FIBRA Study. Screening for dementia and self-report measures concerning the number of weekly hours of low and moderate levels of leisure-time physical activities, hypertension, and nutritional status based on the body mass index (BMI) were applied. Results There were 394 aged participants; 71.8% were female and 74.4% had less than four years of formal education. The mean age at the baseline was 72.8±5.3 years old, and at follow-up was 81.4±4.8. At baseline, the most prevalent concurrent conditions were physical inactivity and hypertension (21.5%), and the least prevalent were physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension and cognitive deficit (0.6%). Associations were observed between physical inactivity at follow-up, or for both measurement periods, and cognitive impairment at follow-up. Inactive participants at the baseline showed a higher incidence ratio of cognitive impairment at follow-up, adjusted for sex, age, education, nutritional status and hypertension (RI=2.27; 95%CI: 1.49-3.45; p<0.001). Conclusion Prevalence and incidence of cognitive deficit mostly reflected the influence of low levels of leisure-time physical activity at baseline and follow-up.

“…Because taeniasis is a zoonotic parasite disease, a One Health approach is required. In 2019, PAHO launched a manual and virtual course, in Spanish, on taeniasis and cysticercosis control highlighting the One Health approach and emphasizing interventions which could be applied to the human population, the animal population and the environment (17,18).…”

The objective of this manuscript is to provide selective examples of the work of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Parasite Epidemiology and Control which contribute to the WHO goal of eliminating neglected tropical diseases by 2030. This PAHO/WHO CC specifically aligns its activities with the Sustainable Development Goals and with the goals outlined in the WHO Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021-2030. Its role is to contribute to advancing global action on NTDs, primarily through policy development and knowledge translation. Three important projects have recently been completed: 1. Finalizing the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the NTD Road Map (published May 2021; this PAHO/WHO CC was a member of the working group); 2. Developing new guidelines for the preventive chemotherapy of Taenia solium taeniasis (published September 2021; this PAHO/WHO CC was co-Chair; and 3. Formulating a policy brief on deworming for adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (published January 2022; this PAHO/WHO CC is co-lead). These projects are the result of the integration of expertise and experience from multiple partners, including from PAHO and WHO (where both organizations provided key leadership), this PAHO/WHO CC, government ministries, civil society organizations and universities, among others. In conclusion, this PAHO/WHO CC contributes timely guidance to country-led evidence-informed public health policy, to cost-effective program implementation and to the identification of priority research topics – all focused, ultimately, on eliminating NTD-attributable morbidity by 2030.

“…The Pan American Health Organisation [7] states that in the information reported by 36 countries of Latin America and Caribbean, for the years 2016 and 2017, Brazil has the biggest percentage (38.3%) of blood donated, followed immediately by Mexico (22.7%). As for Mexico, of these donations, 97% occur following the family/replacement donation strategy in which health professionals ask relatives to donate blood for a hospitalised patient in the institutions where he/she is being provided care.…”

“…The participating BBs belong to the public sector of medical care; therefore, it is possible that the results of this study are not applicable to the private sector. Nevertheless, it is important to emphasise that the Central Blood Bank of the National Medical Centre 'La Raza' of the Mexican Institute of Social Security is the second largest blood bank in Latin America [7]. On average, it serves 106,000 donation candidates per year, with 66,300 being accepted and 39,000 being deferred (HEXA-BANK database).…”

Background Informing about permanent deferral requires a process that links the notifier with the donor in a particular way. Little is known about the type of information and how it is disclosed to the donors. The current study aimed to examine perceptions and practices of notifier and blood donor within the framework of the notification process of permanent deferral and from the perspective of the notifier―blood donor relationship. Methods A qualitative study with in-depth interviews. The participants were 13 notifiers and 25 permanently deferred donors. Participants were recruited from a national blood bank and a state’s blood bank. The entire dataset/narratives were analysed using the method of thematic analysis. Results The disclosure of permanent deferral was understood as a matter of disclosing the serological test results and their medical meaning along with a concise explanation of the deferral status with regard to future blood donation and the plan to be followed. The notifiers preferred to act in accordance with the standard protocol despite acknowledging the adverse psychological and social effects to which donors are exposed when they are informed of the possible disease and the consequent permanent deferral. Donors described a variety of psychological and social affectations. They valued honesty in the communication, the clarity of the information provided and a greater involvement of the notifier. Conclusion Even though the notification process does not imply that medical care is being offered to donors, the notifier is the administrator of the well-being of the donor. Notification must not be considered as something apart from care, since it is intimately related to the health of each of the donors and their medical care.
