“…Of the 25 Pacific countries listed, data were available for only 17 of those countries in this review. This may reflect delays in implementation of critical infrastructure [ 38 ], such as recording cause of death, which has only been recorded in French Polynesia since 1984 [ 39 ]. In addition to this, a notable observation was the reporting of diabetes as a leading cause of mortality in Pacific countries [ 12 , 13 , 18 , 20 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Background Pacific people experience a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), whether they remain in their country of origin or migrate to higher-income countries, such as Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand or the United States of America. We sought to determine whether the CVD health needs of Pacific people vary according to their ethnicity or place of birth. Methods We conducted a systematic review of medical research databases and grey literature to identify relevant data published up to 2020. Texts were included if they contained original data stratified by Pacific-specific ethnicity or place of birth on the burden or management of CVD, and were assessed as having good quality using a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute quality assessment tool. The protocol for this review was registered with the Open Science Forum (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/X7NR6). Results Of 3679 texts identified, 310 full texts were reviewed and the quality of 23 of these assessed, using the pre-defined search strategy. Six items (four reports, one article, one webpage) of good quality met the review eligibility criteria. All included texts provided data on epidemiology but only one reported on the management of CVD. Four texts were of Pacific populations in Pacific Island countries and two were of Pacific diaspora in other countries. Data from the Global Burden of Disease study, which provided estimates for the greatest number of Pacific countries, showed substantial differences in mortality rates between Pacific countries for every CVD type. For example, the mortality rate per 100,000 for ischemic heart disease (IHD) ranged from 103.41 in the Cook Islands to 430.35 in the Solomon Islands. A New Zealand-based report showed differences in CVD rates by Pacific ethnicity (e.g. the age-standardised prevalence of IHD per 1,000 population in Auckland ranged from 107.8 (Niuean) to 138 among Cook Islands Māori (p < 0.001)). Conclusions This review of published studies reveals that the epidemiology of CVD among Pacific people varies by specific ethnic groups, place of birth, and country of residence. There is a critical need for high-quality contemporary ethnic-specific Pacific data to respond to the diverse CVD health needs in these underrepresented groups.

“…The evidence which accumulated subsequent to Omran's original article, coming mainly from countries of the Americas, shows little correspondence with this original framework and offers an amazing variety of cause-specific mortality patterns and their changes over time (Albala and Vio 1995;Castillo-Salgado et al 1999;Costello and Osrin 2005;Hill et al 2007;Huicho et al 2009;Marshall 1991;Vigneron 1989;Vigneron 1993). This evidence was incorporated into the original model as three models, the Classic, the Delayed and the Accelerated models .…”

The book series European Studies of Population (ESPO) aims at disseminating population and family research, with special relevance for Europe. It may analyse past, present and/or future trends, as well as their determinants and consequences. The character of the series is multidisciplinary, including formal demographic analyses, as well as social, economic and/or historical population and family studies. The following types of studies are of primary importance: (a) internationally relevant studies, (b) European comparative studies, (c) innovative theoretical and methodological studies, and (d) policy-relevant scientific studies. The series may include monographs, edited volumes and reference works. The book series is published under the auspices of the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS).

La transición epidemiológica en México : un caso de políticas de salud mal diseñadas y desprovistas de evidencia

¿A qué se debe que, al paso de los años, tantos expertos hayan llegado a adoptar la teoría de la transición epidemiológica como base para descifrar el curso del perfil epidemiológico, independientemente de sus evidentes debilidades teóricas? A partir de una relectura de la versión elaborada por Omran hace 30 años y de sus cuestionamientos más conocidos, en este artículo se postulan algunas hipótesis para responder a esa pregunta; se subraya la necesidad de considerar las consecuencias de seguir recurriendo a esa teoría para el diseño y evaluación de la política pública de salud, y se señala la importancia de construir modalidades alternativas de interpretación, si es que ha de lograrse un mejor entendimiento de los cambios en el perfil de daños que oriente hacia la búsqueda de respuestas más ajustadas a los retos que imponen el cuidado de la salud y la atención de la enfermedad en las sociedades actuales.
