“…We found here that sibship size was positively associated with H. pylori infection, though the difference was not significant. The significant inverse association with a child's having her/his own room in our study is also consistent with previous reports which showed that crowded living conditions and sharing a bed were risk factors for H. pylori infection [10].…”

“…In developing countries, the majority of people become infected during childhood. Several studies have indicated that poor living condition are associated with the infection, with poor hygiene conditions [9], sharing a bed [10], and overcrowding being involved [11]. Investigations within families found that family members shared the same H. pylori strains, which indicates intrafamilial transmission [12][13][14].…”

“…Recent work by Mayer (1997) and Klebanov and colleagues (1997) suggests that there is some effect. Other studies indicate that overcrowding, one measure of dwelling adequacy, is related to children's poor health (Coggon et al, 1993;Galpin, Walker, and Dubiel, 1992;Mann, Wadsworth, and Colley, 1992). Public housing may thus be more physically adequate than other low-income rental 2 Some exceptions are Currie and Yelowitz (2000), Meyers et al (1995), and Harkness (1999, 2000).…”

Recent years have witnessed an intensification of the debate about the fundamental purpose of public assistance to the poor and the effects of these programs on children. This study uses enriched data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine the effects of living in public housing as a child at some point between 1968 and 1982 on four young adult outcomes: welfare receipt; individual earnings; household earnings relative to the federal poverty line; and employment. Living in public housing during childhood increased employment, raised earnings, and reduced welfare use, but had no effect on household earnings relative to the poverty line. The beneficial effects could have arisen because public housing improved physical living conditions, reduced residential mobility, or enabled families to spend more of their income on items that benefit children's development. Whether these effects apply to contemporary public housing is unknown. © 2002 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.

“…Hopkins et al, 41 no Chile, e Goodman et al, 46 na Colômbia, demonstraram maior soropositividade pelo H. pylori nos indivíduos que consumiam vegetais crus. Esses alimentos são potenciais veículos de transmissão, pois podem ser contaminados pela água durante a irrigação ou durante a lavagem para o consumo.…”

Descritores ResumoRealizou-se revisão da epidemiologia da infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori, com o objetivo de analisar sua importância na infância e adolescência no que se refere à incidência, à prevalência, às vias de transmissão e aos fatores de risco. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa nas bases de dados Lilacs (OPS/Bireme) e Medline (National Library of Medicine) e no banco de teses da Universidade de São Paulo dos anos de 1983 a 1999. A análise da literatura levou à conclusão de que a infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori é adquirida principalmente durante a infância, apresenta aumento da prevalência com a idade, os principais fatores de riscos estão relacionados ao baixo nível socioeconômico e o mecanismo de transmissão permanece desconhecido. AbstractThe scope of the review is to study the epidemiological aspects of Helicobacter pylori infection and its importance during childhood and adolescence, focusing on incidence, prevalence, transmission and risk factors. The study's references included the following databases: LILACS (PAHO/ Bireme), MEDLINE, the US's National Library of Medicine and the thesis developed at University of São Paulo for the period 1983 to 1999. It was noted that Helicobacter pylori infection is mainly acquired during childhood, age-related prevalence, main risk factors are associated to low socioeconomic status, and its transmission mechanism remains unclear.
