Perfiles sociales, alimentación y predicción de trastornos de la alimentación en adolescentes urbanos andaluces

OBJECTIVE To know the social profile of Andalusian urban adolescents and analyse the similarities and differences they have with those at risk of presenting with eating disorders. DESIGN Cross-sectional community study. Stratified cluster sampling. SETTING Public and private education institutions in Andalusian cities with more than 100 000 inhabitants (Sevilla, Malaga, Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz, Huelva, Almeria, Jaen, Algeciras, and Jerez). PARTICIPANTS Pupils from 12 to 16 years, attending an academic course in the year 2002-2003 (N=1667). MAIN MEASUREMENTS To compare the results of the sample with adolescents who are at risk of presenting with eating disorders (those who scored more than 20 in the 26-item Eating Attitudes Test [EAT-26]) we used the chi2 test for the nominal variables and the Spearman rho for the interval variables, with a significance level of P=.05. RESULTS There were no differences between either group as regards family structure, friend relationships, academic performance, and sporting activities. The differences centred on disciplinary practices, the number of friends diagnosed with an eating behavioural disorder, the objectives for practicing sports, and the type of diet that they followed. The subjects who scored highest on the EAT-26 were those who had a higher body mass index and a lower social status. CONCLUSIONS It appears that diet changes are a response to certain social conditions. It would be speculative to include subjects who obtain high EAT-26 scores in the population at risk of anorexia.

Protomedicato y matronas: una relación al servicio de la cirugía

A partir de una revision bibliografica de la historia de las matronas y de fuentes municipales y legislativas, se estudia la relacion que existio entre matronas y Protomedicato en Castilla en los siglos XVI a XVIII. Se defiende que el Protomedicato ejercio un control escaso sobre la actividad profesional de las matronas y la mejora del Arte de Partear, siendo su papel mas importante en la consolidacion profesional y cientifica de los cirujanos a traves del reconocimiento de su autoridad en materia obstetrica.
