“…Mental health is increasingly gaining attention in the academic literature given the negative impact it has on quality of life, productivity and health system costs (Artazcoz, Benach, Borrell, & Cortès, 2004; Collins et al, 2011; Kawachi and Berkman, 2001, Kawachi and Berkman, 2001; Prada, Takeuchi, Merchán-Galvis, & Ariza-Araújo, 2017). The literature on the social determinants of health has evolved (Harpham and Grant, 2002; Almedom, 2005; De Silva, McKenzie, Harpham, & Huttly, 2005), and it now recognizes the relevance and the sensitivity of health to measures of social capital.…”

This paper assesses whether two factors of wellbeing, social capital (interpersonal trust and social networks) and subjective well-being are associated with frequent mental distress and if there are any mediating effects by gender in a city of high urban violence. This paper relies on data that comes from a sample of over 1300 people representative by gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic breakdown of the city of Cali in Colombia, which was collected in 2017 through face-to-face surveys. Our study uses logistic regression with fixed-effects at the district level to control for unobserved time-invariant factors. At the individual level, our analyses account for social and demographic context variables. The dependent variable is mental distress, defined as having 14 or more days feeling mentally ill in the previous 30-day period. Independent variables of interest are “interpersonal trust in unknown people” measured in a scale 0–10 and, social networks measured using the number of family members and close friends and subjective well-being through a question about life satisfaction in a scale 0–10. We find risk factors for mental health distress were low trust in unknown people, low life satisfaction, high levels of depression, living in cohabitation, being female, not having children, and living in middle socio-economic status. The odds of feeling mentally ill decreased as trust in unknown people increased by each unit in the trust scale (OR: 0.92). There were gender differences, with women's mental health being less likely to be affected by lack of interpersonal trust (OR: 0.94) than men (OR: 0.76). Our study suggests that actions aimed at fostering interpersonal trust in unknown people could positively affect mental health distress for both males and females. In the context of high urban violence, our study shows that men are more likely to benefit from such actions.

Background: The proportion of people living with dementia in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is expected to reach 71% by 2050. Appraising the economic burden of the disease may contribute to strategic policy planning. Objective: To review studies conducted on the costs of dementia in LMICs, describe their methodology and summarize available costs estimates. Methods: Systematic review, including a search of health, economics, and social science bibliographic databases. No date or language restrictions were applied. All studies with a direct measure of the costs of dementia care were included. Results: Of the 6,843 publications reviewed, 17 studies from 11 LMICs were included. Costs of dementia tended to increase with the severity of the disease. Medical costs were greater in the mild stage, while social and informal care costs were highest in the moderate and severe stages. Annual cost estimates per patient ranged from PPP$131.0 to PPP$31,188.8 for medical costs; from PPP$16.1 to PPP$10,581.7 for social care services and from PPP$140.0 to PPP$25,798 for informal care. Overall, dementia care can cost from PPP$479.0 to PPP$66,143.6 per year for a single patient. Conclusion: Few studies have been conducted on the costs of dementia in LMICs, and none so far in Africa. There seems to be a need to provide accurate data on the burden of disease in these countries to guide public health policies in the coming decades.
