Abstract
We geospatially assess food poisoning in Nariño, Colombia, between 2012-2019. A retrospective repeated cross-sectional study was carried out on 2,413 individuals to assess food poisoning in Nariño, Colombia, where Sociodemographic information and aspects of food poisoning characteristics were analysed. Causal agents of food poisoning were classified as biological, chemical or radioactive. Descriptive and geospatial analyses were performed, as well as a generalised linear modelling (GLM) to determine the association between cases of food poisoning and different factors. The mean annual incidence of food poisoning between 2012-2019 in Nariño county was 17 cases per 100,000. Municipalities such as Puerres, Córdoba and Contadero presented a higher incidence. Differences according to age and sex were observed. Based on GLM, seafood consumption and intake of food in public institutions significantly increased the risk of food poisoning. There were temporal and spatial variations of food poisoning in Nariño. Public health policies should aim to enhance food safety and safe practices of food workers in public institutions to avoid outbreaks and reduce the need for medical consultation, hospitalisation and treatment.
期刊介绍：
Food Security is a wide audience, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to the procurement, access (economic and physical), and quality of food, in all its dimensions. Scales range from the individual to communities, and to the world food system. We strive to publish high-quality scientific articles, where quality includes, but is not limited to, the quality and clarity of text, and the validity of methods and approaches.
Food Security is the initiative of a distinguished international group of scientists from different disciplines who hold a deep concern for the challenge of global food security, together with a vision of the power of shared knowledge as a means of meeting that challenge. To address the challenge of global food security, the journal seeks to address the constraints - physical, biological and socio-economic - which not only limit food production but also the ability of people to access a healthy diet.
From this perspective, the journal covers the following areas:
Global food needs: the mismatch between population and the ability to provide adequate nutrition
Global food potential and global food production
Natural constraints to satisfying global food needs:
§ Climate, climate variability, and climate change
§ Desertification and flooding
§ Natural disasters
§ Soils, soil quality and threats to soils, edaphic and other abiotic constraints to production
§ Biotic constraints to production, pathogens, pests, and weeds in their effects on sustainable production
The sociological contexts of food production, access, quality, and consumption.
Nutrition, food quality and food safety.
Socio-political factors that impinge on the ability to satisfy global food needs:
§ Land, agricultural and food policy
§ International relations and trade
§ Access to food
§ Financial policy
§ Wars and ethnic unrest
Research policies and priorities to ensure food security in its various dimensions.
