“…In addition, years of armed conflict have obligated thousands of people to migrate from rural to urban areas, a phenomenon that has affected their access to education, basic needs and health care. 10 While the ongoing recovering of Colombia's economy has improved the living standards in urban areas, the population exposure to environmental and life style risk factors such as poor diet, cigarette consumption, and physical inactivity, among others has also increased. 11 Therefore, disease pattern and level of exposure to risk factors vary depending on the particular conditions of each country, and thus, the strategies to prevent and control disease burden cannot be transversally applied.…”

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most important cause of mortality in Latin America, while peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the third leading cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity. Objective: To establish the prevalence of PA D and the distribution of traditional CVD risk factors in a population from the Department of Cauca, Colombia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 10,000 subjects aged ≥40 years, from 36 municipalities. An ankle---brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.9 in either leg was used as diagnostic criterion of PAD. Results: Overall PA D prevalence was 4.4% (4.7% females vs. 4.0% males), with diabetes being the most prevalent risk factor (23%). Among individuals self-reporting a history of acute myocardial infarction or stroke, PA D prevalence was 31.0% and 8.1%, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, PA D was significantly associated with hypertension (OR 4.6; 95% CI; 3.42---6.20), diabetes (4.3; 3.17---5.75), dyslipidaemia (3.1; 2.50---3.88), obesity (1.8; 1.37---2.30), and cigarette smoking (1.6; 1.26---1.94). Analysis for the interaction of risk factors showed that diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and obesity accounted for 13.2 times the risk for PA D (6.9---25.4), and when adding hypertension to the model, the risk effect was the highest (17.2; 8.4---35.1). Conclusions: Hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and obesity, but not smoking were strong predictors of PAD. ABI measurement should be routinely performed as a screening test in

“…Finalmente, aunque las encuestas aplicadas no entregaron información al respecto, se debe advertir que, en el caso colombiano, es necesario considerar, además, el fenómeno de desplazamiento forzado de la población que aumenta los cordones de miseria de las ciudades como consecuencia del conflicto armado (Ibáñez y Vélez, 2008). Según las estadísticas oficiales, entre los años 2009 y 2014, la migración a las ciudades colombianas ha hecho más crítico el fenómeno de la pobreza, condición en la que actualmente se encuentra el 27 % de la población nacional (Departamento Nacional de Planeación, 2013).…”

“…These studies suggest that people are less likely to leave their homes if economic opportunities remain available. Some studies at the household and individual levels also reported that, beyond violence, important socioeconomic factors affect individuals' migration decisions (Bohra-Mishra and Massey 2011; Engel and Ibânez 2007;Ibânez and Vêlez 2008). Another individuallevel study in Nepal provided an insight that, beyond conflict, a number of significant economic, social, physical, and political factors affect individuals' choice to flee (Adhikari 2013).…”

BACKGROUNDIn the southernmost provinces of Thailand, despite the long-term unrest concurrent with migration, very limited research tackles the relationship between these two phenomena. OBJECTIVEThis analysis examines whether migration in the three southernmost provinces is associated with the ongoing unrest. METHODSWe use a sample of 1,009 households from a household probability survey conducted in the three southernmost provinces in 2014. The analysis uses two measures of migration: all migration and destination-specific migration. The unrest is measured as 1) whether a violent incident occurred in the village in the most recent year and 2) the perceived effect of the unrest on the overall life of the household. RESULTSHouseholds in villages where a violent incidence occurred in the past year and households that reported that the unrest affected overall life a lot are more likely to have a migrant. These effects are direct, net of other household and social network characteristics. The unrest is related to increased migration both within Thailand and to Malaysia. This result is stronger for migration to Malaysia compared to migration within Thailand. The destination of migrants is related to education.
