“…The above information allows us knowing that, in all quinquennia comprised within the 1970-1974 and 2010-2014 periods, IHD rates were higher in men in comparison with women, with the ratio being lower at the beginning of the series (1.43:1) and higher at the end of it (2.23:1). In addition, the ratio in favor of males is observed to gradually increase throughout all quinquennia, a result that is consistent with another study conducted in the country 11 , in addition to results obtained in other nations, such as Mexico 24,25 . Life expectancy in Costa Rica has always been higher in women in comparison with men (82.2 years for women and 77.5 for men, year 2016), which would partly explain the above observation.…”

“…Roselló and Guzman 10 analyzed mortality during the 1970-2002 period according to its geographical distribution and place of occurrence. Subsequently, these two researchers published another article on the same subject, in this case with greater extension and depth, since they also included CVD, IHD and AMI mortality evolution during the 1970-2001 period 11 .…”

Objective: To update some important aspects of the descriptive epidemiology of ischemic heart (EIC) disease in Costa Rica during the period 1970-2014. Methods: EIC death rates were obtained in two periods: from 1930 to 1969 and then, for a more specific analysis, from 1970 to 2014, using moving and five-year averages, based on data from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística and the Centro Centroamericano de Población, to analyze them according to age, sex, geographical location and percentage contribution to the general mortality. Information was also obtained to determine the burden of the disease, in this case through Years of Adjusted Life for Disability, Years of Life Lost and Years of Life lost due to Disability. Results: There was a rise in rates in the general population, with greater momentum in the population from 35 to 74 years, up to the five-year period 1995-1999, after which a decline began that apparently stopped during the five-year period [2010][2011][2012][2013][2014]

“…On the other hand, we found that students from public universities reported being afraid of becoming infected with HIV while caring for PLHWA and preferred to care for non-HIV patients instead ( Table 4 , items 4 and 9). Similar findings of such fears and preferences have been documented elsewhere among medical students and healthcare workers [ 13 , 18 , 37 , 38 ]. These attitudes have been largely attributed to cases of HIV transmission via needle prick injury sustained during the course of caring for PLHWA [ 39 , 40 ].…”

We describe the findings from a survey assessing the beliefs regarding testing, confidentiality, disclosure, and environment of care and attitudes towards care of people with HIV/AIDS (PLHWA), in 1020, 4th and 5th year medical students, from public and private medical universities in Malaysia. A self-administered validated questionnaire based on the UNAIDS Model Questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale (5, strongly disagree; 4, disagree; 3, neutral; 2, agree; 1, strongly agree) was used as a survey tool. The survey included demographic data and data on undergraduate training received on HIV/AIDS. Statistical significance in the demographic data and training received by respondents was evaluated using the chi-square test while the independent Student's t-test was used for comparison of means between public and private universities. A P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant with 95% confidence interval. Our study revealed less than 20% of medical students received adequate training to care for PLHWA. They had prevalent negative beliefs regarding testing, confidentiality, disclosure and environment of care towards PLHWA although in giving care to PLHWA, their attitudes were largely positive and nondiscriminatory.

“…French fries, potato chips, and mashed potatoes are part of the Western dietary pattern, which is also high in red meats, processed meats, and refined flours [ 21 , 22 ]. In contrast, the consumption of starchy vegetables in Costa Rica is likely associated with a healthier dietary pattern predominantly relying on fresh vegetables, cereals, and legumes [ 23 ].…”

Only a few studies primarily examined the associations between starchy vegetables (other than potatoes) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to evaluate the association between starchy vegetables consumption and MetS in a population-based sample of Costa Rican adults. We hypothesized that a higher overall intake of starchy vegetables would not be associated with higher MetS prevalence. In this cross-sectional study, log-binomial regression models were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) of MetS across quintiles of total, unhealthy, healthy starchy vegetables, and individual starchy vegetables (potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, etc.), among 1881 Costa Rican adults. Least square means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from linear regression models were estimated for each MetS component by categories of starchy vegetable variables. Higher intakes of starchy vegetables were associated with a higher prevalence of MetS in crude models, but no significant trends were observed after adjusting for confounders. A significant inverse association was observed between total starchy and healthy starchy vegetables consumption and fasting blood glucose. In this population, starchy vegetables might be part of a healthy dietary pattern.
