Antecedentes: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son la principal causa mundial de mortalidad y México no es la excepción. Los datos epidemiológicos obtenidos en 1990 mostraron que los padecimientos cardiovasculares representaron el 19.8% de todas las causas de muerte en nuestro país; esta cifra se incrementó de manera significativa a un 25.5% para 2015. Diversas encuestas nacionales sugieren que más del 60% de la población adulta tiene al menos un factor de riesgo para padecer enfermedades cardiovasculares (obesidad o sobrepeso, hipertensión, tabaquismo, diabetes, dislipidemias). Por otro lado,
Revisión de los principios científicos, éticos y regulatorios nacionales e internacionales aplicables para conducir estudios clínicos en México, con especial interés en las atribuciones de regulación, control y fomento sanitarios conforme a la Ley General de Salud y a través de la Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios. Se recopilan los pasos y requisitos que deben cumplir un investigador principal y un centro de investigación para participar en la conducción de estudios clínicos multicéntricos, multirregionales, con financiamientos federales o privados.
Objective. We tested the effectiveness of the I prefer plain water educational strategy used to increase water consumption in elementary school children. Materials and methods. A community intervention trial was performed in eight public elementary schools in Mexico City. The schools were randomized into an intervention (IG) and a control (CG) group. Each school was provided water dispensers inside the classrooms. The IG received the educational strategy. The strategy was considered effective if the students increased their water consumption by ≥220 ml. Results. Water consumption in the IG increased 167 ml vs. 37 ml in CG (p < 0.001). The goal of the educational strategy for water consumption was achieved in 166/413 children in the IG and 95/364 children in the CG (p < 0.001). Conclusions. I prefer plain water, associated with free access to water inside the classrooms, proved to be effective to increase water consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
