“…Self-rated health is a reliable indicator of objective health [31], as it combines objective knowledge of potential medical conditions with the interpretation of physical and mental indicators of a person [32]. This allows for a general assessment of the respondent's overall health but has also been associated with the prediction of mortality [33][34][35]. The reliability of this type of self-report has been defined as good or even better than indicators related to chronic disease, functional ability, and psychological well-being [36], and is also prognostic for aspects such as the incidence of chronic disease [33,37] and functional decline in the work of organs and systems [37,38].…”

To analyze the association between trait anxiety and health attitude, awareness of risk factors, and prevention of cardiovascular disease in men and women aged 25–44 years. In 2013–2016, 427 men and 548 women of residents 25–44 years were studied. To assess TA (trait anxiety), a form of Spielberger’s self-report Trait Anxiety Inventory has been proposed. When interpreting the indicators, the following approximate estimates of anxiety were used: low TA (LTA), medium TA (MTA), and high TA (HTA). The framework of the budget issue Reg. No.122031700094-5. Respondents with HTA believed that they were “not quite healthy”; had complaints about their health; apparently did not take enough care of their health. People with HTA believed that it was “highly likely” that they would get a serious disease in the next 5–10 years. It turned out that only 5.1% of the population planned to consult a doctor with HTA, less than people with LTA - 12.1% (p < 0.05). It has been established that trait anxiety is associated with low self-esteem regarding one’s health status and insufficient awareness of both risk factors and prevention of CVD.

Introduction: research into the psychoactive substances use is very broad and diverse; however, in Mexico there is still a lack of specific information that highlights the possible differences in the use of these substances considering a gender perspective beyond the male/female dichotomy. Objective: explore the psychoactive substances use in high school degree students according to their gender and compare possible differences. Method: a non-experimental, cross-sectional, ex post facto study was designed with three comparison groups: cisgender-women, cisgender-men and other gender identity (non-binary, fluid, transgender-man, transgender-woman, among others). 4,136 students in the Gulf of Mexico area participated in a non-probabilistic sampling (2,120 cisgender-women, 1,964 cisgender-men, and 52 to be other gender identity). Results: the alcohol use was substantially higher in cisgender-women, while the tobacco use in cisgender-men. Illegal drug use was significantly higher in people to be other gender, especially the use of inhalants, methamphetamines, ecstasy, and hallucinogens. The marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines and heroin use was greater in cisgender-men, while that of tranquilizers was greater in cisgender-women. Discussion and conclusions: the results allowed an approach to a population group little addressed in studies of drug consumption, that of people who assume a gender different from the dichotomy (man/woman), making visible that they are a group with high consumption that it can place them in certain conditions of vulnerability.
