Tuberculosis increases as TB-HIV cases increase; it is caused by knowledge, unhealthy behavior, increasing poverty, TB drug resistance, and to sociodemographic and environmental problems. This study aimed to analyse individual and environmental risk factors for the incidence of tuberculosis. This type of research is an observational analysis of a population of the Tinambung community using a case-control study design carried out in the working area of the Tinambung Health Center. With a sample of 156 people (76 cases and 76 controls), the instruments used were questionnaires and lighting and humidity measurements. Cases are tuberculosis sufferers, and controls are non-tuberculosis sufferers.

The present study aimed to identify the perception of the benefits derived from the company of pets during the quarantine by COVID-19 in a sample of the Medellín city population, Colombia. A quantitative, descriptive, ex post facto study was used, with the participation of 141 people, 73 % women (n=102) and 27 % men (n=39), with an average age of M=35.2 (SD =8.4). The variables of human-animal interaction, emotional closeness with the pet, physical and psychological benefits, and perceived cost were evaluated through an ad-hoc Likert-type questionnaire with Alpha Cronbach 9.79.

Reading comprehension is a process through which the student shows his ability to analyze, interpret and argue about a topic that he has read and allows him to respond in fields of knowledge and solve problems. This study aimed to relate the evaluation of reading comprehension with the academic performance of primary school students from Yopal Casanare. A quantitative study was carried out, with a non-experimental design, of correlational scope and moment of a cross-sectional study.

The study focused on conducting a meta-analytic review of three variables psychoneuroimmunology, emotions, and the immune system, intending to find a relationship between them. The methodology was the PRISMA statement with inclusion criteria: production of the last five years, full text, exclusion criteria: book chapters, reviews, editorials, letters to the editorials, as well as systematic and meta-analytic reviews; a formula was created from the variables with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) in databases: Web of Science, PubMed and Elsevier. The first sweep denotes (n=2237) articles and after the application of the screening, the final sample was (n=26).

Introduction: There are risk factors associated with the life cycle of adolescence and early adulthood, such as depression and hopelessness, disappointment and guilt at the impossibility of meeting parental expectations, family problems, a history of suicide in relatives, friends, and/or colleagues, difficulties in communication, a tendency to isolation, few interpersonal relationships, abuse of psychoactive substances, cuts or blows to the body, ideas, fantasies or previous attempts, considering suicide as a heroic act. Suicidal ideation and behavior in adolescence and youth is a public health problem with emotional, family, economic, and social consequences.

Obesity, traditionally defined as excess body fat, is a non-communicable chronic inflammatory disease highly prevalent in both sexes, in all age groups, and in different regions globally, which is frequently associated with an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. During the last decades, evidence has been growing that suggests the existence of a phenomenon that is currently known as the “obesity paradox”, which exposes that individuals who are overweight or obese have a lower risk of mortality from all causes, an effect that extends to those patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in whom mortality from CV causes is also decreased.
