    Abstract Introduction: In the last 20 years we have doubled obesity rates. In Spain, 67 % of the population does not have an adequate weight and 40 % of the child population suffers from obesity or overweight. This leads to serious diseases. To avoid this, a national plan to fight obesity is required, with prevention and therapeutic strategies so as not to continue increasing these data in 2030. Among the factors that cause childhood obesity are poor eating habits as well as a lack of physical activity and excessive use of screens. In addition, there is a significant social gap. Childhood obesity especially affects families with lower purchasing power (54 %) who do not have access to a healthy diet or the necessary tools or knowledge to promote health to their sons and daughters through food. The World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe developed a nutrient profile model in 2015, specifically for the purpose of restricting the marketing of foods aimed at children. This model is considered by the scientific community as a reference tool when it comes to establish policies and improvements in favor of public health, in order to provide families with access to food with a better profile and nutritional value.

    Abstract In this study, changes in air quality by NO₂, O₃, and PM₁₀ in Barcelona metropolitan area and other parts of Catalonia during the COVID-19 lockdown with respect to pre-lockdown and to previous years (2018 and 2019) were evaluated. Selected air monitoring stations included 3 urban (Gràcia, Vall d’Hebron, and Granollers), 1 control site (Fabra Observatory), 1 semi-urban (Manlleu), and 3 rural (Begur, Bellver de Cerdanya, and Juneda). NO₂ lockdown levels showed a diminution, which in relative terms was maximum in two rural stations (Bellver de Cerdanya, − 63% and Begur, − 61%), presumably due to lower emissions from the ceasing hotel and ski resort activities during eastern holidays. In absolute terms and from an epidemiologic perspective, decrease in NO₂, also reinforced by the high amount of rainfall registered in April 2020, was more relevant in the urban stations around Barcelona. O₃ levels increased in the transited urban stations (Gràcia, + 42%, and Granollers, + 64%) due to the lower titration effect by NOₓ. PM₁₀ lockdown levels decreased, mostly in Gràcia, Vall d’Hebron, and Granollers (− 35, − 39%, and − 39%, respectively) due to traffic depletion (− 90% in Barcelona's transport). Correlation among mobility index in Barcelona (− 100% in retail and recreation) and contamination was positive for NO₂ and PM₁₀ and negative for O₃ (P < 0.001). Satellite images evidenced two hotspots of NO₂ in Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) in April 2018 and 2019 that disappeared in 2020. Overall, the benefits of lockdown on air quality in Catalonia were evidenced with NO₂, O₃ and PM₁₀ levels below WHOAQG values in most of stations opposed to the excess registered in previous years.

    Abstract Introduction: HIV is considered one of the most important chronic transmitted diseases worldwide. The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS in 2020 proposed the strategy "95-95-95" which goals to achieve a 95% of cases identified, receives ART, and will have achieved suppression of the virus. In Ecuador by 2020, according to the Ministry of Public Health, 45,056 persons are living with HIV, principally men between 15 and 49 years, and a mortality rate of 4.8/100,000 habitats. This study aims to determine the cost-utility of applying an early screening to a sexually active population vs. only a high-risk population and if the use of PrEP is justified depending on different contexts.
    Methods: For the cost-utility evaluation, it was compared: (a) HIV screening performed only in the high-risk population vs. HIV screening in all population sexually active; and (b) the use of ART only for HIV treatment vs. ART as a treatment in diagnosed cases and the use of PrEP (only at a high-risk population of acquiring HIV). Calculation and weight of DALYs for HIV/SIDA were obtained through WHO guidelines. To generate the Markov model for HIV/AIDS, subjects were classified as symptomatic or asymptomatic, as well as the HIV deaths.
    Results: Cost-benefit analysis (CUA) showed that ICER for early diagnosis had a negative value which means a saving if the strategy will be implemented as a regular test (-$591, -$4,360) and -108 and -934 DALYs, in the case of ART and PrEP, ICER the $30,541-$59,410, which resulted in more than the GDP's threshold and health years between 2,511 and 10,635 in the general population. With a reduction of 70% in the assigned budget for the early diagnosis, Ecuadorian people could lose between 4 and 6 DALYs, while if the budget reduces more than 50% to ART, it will generate a loss of 10-12 years of healthy life.
    Conclusion: CUA demonstrates that an early diagnosis in a sexually active population is cost-beneficial. This, combined with ART or PrEP, is ideal to add years of healthy life.

    Abstract Oxidative and inflammatory stress, angiogenic imbalance, and endothelial dysfunction are pathophysiological mechanisms occurring in pre-eclampsia (PE) that may persist over time and predispose women to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the future. However, there is little evidence on the vascular function of women at risk of PE who have not developed the disease. The main objective of this research is to study factors and biomarkers involved in endothelial dysfunction related to oxidative stress, angiogenic disbalance, and inflammation in women at high risk of term PE who do not develop the disease. An observational, analytical, retrospective, and descriptive study was carried out in a selected sample of 68 high-risk and 57 non-risk of term PE participants in the STATIN study (FFIS/2016/02/ST EUDRACT No: 2016-005206-19). A significant increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels and oxidative stress biomarkers (uric acid, homocysteine, and total serum antioxidant capacity) was found. Biomarkers of inflammation (interleukin-6 and growth differentiation factor 15) and endothelial function (asymmetric dimethylarginine) were significantly elevated in the group at risk of pre-eclampsia. A significative dependence relationship was also established between MAP and interleukin-6 and uric acid. These results suggest that women at high risk of term PE may represent pregnancies with pre-existing maternal risk factors for CVD, manifested by the own cardiovascular overload of pregnancy. A better understanding of maternal cardiovascular function in pregnancy would allow the improved prediction of CVD late in life in women.

    Abstract Background: The nutritional traffic light label (NTLL) has become one of the most used Front of Package labels (FOP's) around the world, for its simple and easy to understand graphical system. In Ecuador, this labelling system has recently been implemented; then, this research aims to evaluate the use and knowledge of NTLL and its effectiveness as a public health promotion strategy.
    Method: In a cross-sectional study at two different urban supermarkets in Quito-Ecuador, a survey was conducted in 73 participants to inquire about knowledge, perspectives and purchasing habits regarding the NTLL. Objective data obtained from pictures of the participants'purchase was compared with subjective data obtained from the survey. For categorical variables, Chi square or Fisher's Exact test were used and variables with a statistical significance at α = 0.1 were included in multivariate logistic regression models.
    Results: 88.7% of participants knew about the NTTL. 27.4% reported using the NTLL, while 28.4% of participants were observed to really use it. Significant associations between self-knowledge of the NTLL and education level (p = 0.007) or knowledge level (p = 0.001) were found. A significant association was also found between the refered use of the NTLL and the shopping influencing factor (p = 0.02). In the multivariate analysis an association between knowledge of the NTLL and observed use was found only when adjusted for the supermarket (p = 0.038).
    Conclusion: This study found that the level of knowledge of the NTLL in the studied population was relatively high; however, both the referred and the observed use of the NTLL were low. Use and knowledge of the NTLL were associated with the socioeconomic and educational status of the participants. Thus, the change in nutritional patterns needs additional strategies to put the NTLL before the brand once customers make their purchases.

    Abstract The objective of this work was to determine the risk of exposure to Dirofilaria immitis in the stray dog population and people living in the metropolitan area of Puebla City, Mexico, using serologic methods. A total of 283 blood salmples were collected from dogs and 254 salmples from people. The canine samples were analyzed using a commercial kit to detect D. immitis antigens and the Knott test to detect microfilariae. Human samples were analyzed by ELISAs to detect antibodies against D. immitis and Wolbachia anti-WSP, as well as Western blot to identify specific bands of the parasite in the adult antigenic extract of D. immitis. Positive results were represented on a GIS map that included layers with geoenvironmental information relevant to parasite transmission in the study area. The prevalence of D. immitis in the canine stray population was 2.12 %, with positive cases found in individuals aged 1–10 years. Human seroprevalence was established at 5.11 %, with women and men similarly affected. By age, a significantly higher seroprevalence was observed in younger individuals (<18 years) than in the rest of the population. The geolocation of the results showed that positive cases were found in the environment (within 2 km) of potentially favorable areas for mosquito breeding. The importance of human influence in the creation and maintenance of favorable conditions for the transmission of canine and human dirofilariosis within an urban area is highlighted, both by the lack of environmental sanitation and by the absence of measures to limit or eliminate the canine reservoir population.
