Journal ArticleDOI

Urbanisation but not biomass fuel smoke exposure is associated with asthma prevalence in four resource-limited settings

TL;DR: It is confirmed that urbanisation is an environmental risk factor of asthma, questions biomass fuel smoke exposure as an important risk factor and proposes high altitude as possibly protective against the development of asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of modifiable risk factors for hypertension and type-2 diabetes in Peruvian resource-limited settings

TL;DR: There is an evident heterogeneity in the prevalence of and risk factors for hypertension and diabetes within Peru, which emphasise the need of understanding the epidemiology of cardiometabolic conditions to appropriately implement interventions to tackle the burden of non-communicable diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low HDL cholesterol as a cardiovascular risk factor in rural, urban, and rural-urban migrants: PERU MIGRANT cohort study

TL;DR: Isolated low HDL-c was the most common dyslipidaemia in the study population and was more frequent in rural subjects, and increased three-to fourfold the 5-year risk of cardiovascular outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stunting, adiposity, and the individual-level "dual burden" among urban lowland and rural highland Peruvian children.

TL;DR: This work investigates whether the individual dual burden differentially affects low socioeconomic status Peruvian children from contrasting environments, and whether tibia length can discount the possible autocorrelation between adiposity proxies and height due to height measurement error.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence, Clinical Profile, Iron Status, and Subject-Specific Traits for Excessive Erythrocytosis in Andean Adults Living Permanently at 3,825 Meters Above Sea Level

TL;DR: Although the presence of hypoxemia and decreased vital capacity were strongly associated with excessive erythrocytosis, being overweight or having metabolic syndrome were associated with an important fraction of cases in the study population.
