Se propone un "modelo sinérgico" para avanzar en la integración de elementos clave de la salutogénesis y el modelo de activos para la salud, utilizando como marco para esta articulación la teoría bioecológica de Bronfenbrenner. El sentido de coherencia es clave para facilitar la transformación de recursos potenciales en activos disponibles, produciendo un desarrollo positivo de la salud. El modelo sinérgico puede aportar a la contextualización de las ideas en políticas y prácticas de salud pública, fortaleciendo la dimensión salud-bienestar y contribuyendo al desarrollo de modelos de salud más integrados y colectivos.

This study describes the extent, quality and cultural appropriateness of current research on the health conditions of refugee children aged 0-6 years settled in high-income countries. A systematic review was conducted, including original articles published on the health conditions experienced by refugee children. A total of 71 papers were included. The studies varied considerably in their research design, population characteristics and health conditions. Studies included information on 37 different health conditions, with the majority non-communicable diseases, in particular growth, malnutrition and bone density. Although the studies identified a wide range of health issues, a coordinated effort to prioritise research on particular health topics was lacking, and health conditions studied do not align with the global burden of disease for this population. Additionally, despite being rated medium-high quality, most studies did not describe measures taken to ensure cultural competency and community involvement in their research. We suggest a coordinated research effort for this cohort, with greater emphasis on community engagement to improve the evidence-base of the health needs of refugee children after settlement.

Immigrants experience a high risk of mental health deterioration following settlement in Canada. Immigrant communities benefit from health-promoting interventions that stimulate social inclusion and belonging as protective factors. In this context, community gardens have been recognized as interventions that promote healthy behaviours, place attachment and belonging.This article summarizes our experience conducting a community-based participatory evaluation (CBPE), engaging community stakeholders in planning, implementing and evaluating a community garden for immigrants. We conducted a CBPE to provide relevant and timely feedback to inform programme adaptation and development. Participants, interpreters and organizers were engaged through surveys, focus groups and semi-structured interviews. Participants expressed a range of motivations, benefits, challenges and recommendations. The garden was a place that fostered learning and promoted healthy behaviours, including physical activity and socialization. However, there were challenges in organization and communication with participants. Findings were used to adapt the activities to immigrants' needs and expand the programming of collaborating organizations. Stakeholder engagement facilitated capacity building and direct use of findings. This approach may catalyse sustainable community action with immigrant communities.

Objetivo: comprobar la influencia de los conocimientos y los hábitos alimenticios en la sobrecarga ponderal según el ámbito de residencia (urbano o rural).

Método: se administró un cuestionario a 451 personas, residentes en la zona básica de salud de Villaviciosa (Asturias, España), entre 35 y 65 años, distribuidas en zona rural y urbana, formulario compuesto por preguntas sobre datos sociodemográficos, hábitos y conocimientos nutricionales. Se calcularon frecuencias relativas (%) para las variables cualitativas, y medias aritméticas (desviaciones estándar) para las cuantitativas. Se empleó la correlación de Pearson para comprobar o descartar la relación entre la puntuación en el cuestionario de conocimientos sobre nutrición y el índice de masa corporal (IMC). Para estudiar la relación entre cada pregunta del cuestionario de hábitos y el ámbito de residencia se empleó la prueba chi-cuadrado. Para comparar las medias del IMC por ámbito se aplicó la prueba t para muestras independientes. Se realizaron regresiones logísticas para calcular las odds ratio (OR) entre la variable dependiente (sobrecarga ponderal) y las variables sociodemográficas.

Resultados: la edad media de los encuestados fue de 49.96 años y el IMC promedio de 26.87 kg/m², presentando sobrecarga ponderal el 57.6 % total. No leer las etiquetas nutricionales aumenta el riesgo de tener sobrecarga ponderal (OR = 2.2; p = 0.001); quienes consideran que comen en exceso muchas veces presentan mayor probabilidad de sobrecarga ponderal (OR = 8.6; p < 0.001); comer fuera de casa varias veces por semana (OR = 11.6; p = 0.019), así como el consumo de refrescos o zumos procesados (OR = 3.3; p = 0.013) y alcohol de baja graduación (OR = 2.8; p = 0.003) durante las comidas aumentan la probabilidad de sobrecarga ponderal.

Conclusiones: los hábitos alimenticios y los patrones de actividad física son los principales responsables de sobrecarga ponderal. El adecuado conocimiento en la población puede ayudar a la elaboración de un plan preventivo que permita frenar el crecimiento del sobrepeso y la obesidad.

MyPlate is a 2017 campaign about Indonesian Balanced Nutrition Guidelines. Nutrition knowledge of young people plays an important role since nutritional status of young people affects offspring's health. Moreover, they are more likely to be obese later in life, particularly in urban areas. The main objective of this descriptive study was to assess the relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of MyPlate with sociodemographic, body satisfaction (BS), accessibility and source of information. Data were collected in a cross-sectional study involving 413 young people in Jakarta. The online questionnaire was modified from previous studies, validated by three experts, pre-tested and proven to be reliable through Cronbach's alpha value of 0.714. In this study, most participants had poor knowledge (54%), good attitude (80%), fair practice (72%), fair BS (51%) and good accessibility (70%). Chi-square analysis showed significant relationships (p-value < 0.05) of knowledge with BS, education level, major; attitude with accessibility; practice with BS and accessibility; BS with gender; accessibility with socioeconomic status; source of information with education level and major. Moreover, the biggest source of MyPlate information was this questionnaire (45%), which means they were not familiar with MyPlate before. This study verifies the necessity to intensify its promotion and improve nutritional knowledge and practice in young people.

La santé publique s'oriente de plus en plus vers l'étude des structures oppressives (telles que le racisme, le sexisme, ou le validisme) et de leur influence sur le marché de l'emploi, les systèmes éducatifs et judiciaires, et l'accès aux systèmes de santé de qualité. Ce commentaire vise à proposer une réflexion sur la manière dont ces structures influencent également la façon de faire de la santé publique. À travers le concept d'injustice épistémique, qui décrit le fait que l'organisation sociale influence la possibilité de connaître et de faire valoir sa connaissance dans une société donnée, nous montrons qu'en tant qu'acteur.rice de santé publique, nous pouvons reproduire et renforcer des injustices sociales. Les injustices épistémiques sont la plupart du temps le fruit de structures et de pratiques quotidiennes. Il est nécessaire de développer l'utilisation d'outils permettant de favoriser la réflexivité pour faciliter la mise en perspective des injustices et des privilèges.
