The Quality of Life in Adults with Growth Hormone Deficiency (QoL-AGHDA) is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess the quality of life of adults with GHD.Objective: The objective of this study was to validate the QoL-AGHDA for use in Mexico.Materials and methods: First phase: Translation of the QoL-AGHDA into Spanish as spoken in Mexico. Face and content validity were assessed through 10 Cognitive debriefing interviews. Second phase: The Mexican version of the QoL-AGHDA was administered to 40 patients on two occasions for subsequent analysis. The distributional properties of the measure were explored through descriptive statistics. Cronbach's α was calculated for internal consistency, and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess reliability.Results: The QoL-AGHDA for Mexicans showed high internal consistency, with Cronbach's α coefficients of 0.91 and 0.92. Test-retest reliability was excellent, with a Spearman's correlation coefficient of 0.95.Conclusion: The Mexican adaptation of the QoL-AGHDA demonstrated good psychometric properties, supporting its use in future studies to assess quality of life in adults with GHD in Mexico.","PeriodicalId":12736,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta medica de Mexico","volume":"161 3","pages":"280-287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145843702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This group was divided into cases and controls, ensuring alignment in terms of age, sex, and body mass index. Demographic information was collected and scores on the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia -11 questionnaire were recorded for further comparison.Results: All individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) suffered from some degree of kinesiophobia, and 77% had moderate to maximum scores. In contrast, in the control group, without AEs, none presented maximum levels, and 76.9% presented scores with mild or no levels of kinesiophobia. The comparison between groups showed a statistically significant difference.Conclusion: Kinesiophobia was significantly higher in AD patients compared to healthy individuals, emphasizing the need for specific interventions to manage this condition in treatment plans.","PeriodicalId":12736,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta medica de Mexico","volume":"161 4","pages":"379-384"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147467845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the genome of 140,000 individuals in the Mexico City Prospective Study (MCPS) cohort was explored, and it was found that the average Amerindian ancestry (AMR) was 66.2%, followed by European (29.2%), African (3.7%), and Asian (0.8%) ancestries. However, the proportions of ancestry vary by geographic region of the country, with an increasing gradient of AMR from north to south. Despite the importance of this relationship, there are few studies that have analyzed the relationship between obesity and AMR, and the results are controversial. The relationship between AMR and central obesity has been more consistent, especially in women. Few genetic variants associated with obesity have been found in Mexico, due to the small number of individuals analyzed. Future analysis of the MCPS cohort will likely clarify the relationship between AMR and obesity, and identify genetic variations and genes associated with obesity and other metabolic diseases, specific to the Amerindian genome.","PeriodicalId":12736,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta medica de Mexico","volume":"161 1","pages":"41-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144325242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brain atrophy has been associated with disease progression, but its predictive value in Latin American populations remains underexplored.Objective: To assess whether brain atrophy, evaluated through visual rating scales, predicts progression from mild to moderate dementia over one year, using the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes.Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a memory clinic with 73 participants aged ≥65 years with mild dementia and baseline brain magnetic resonance imaging. Temporal and parietal atrophy were assessed using Scheltens and Koedam scales, and white matter hyperintensities were evaluated with Fazekas. Logistic regression models adjusted for age, education, depression, and vitamin D/B12 deficiencies were used to estimate the risk of progression.Results: Fifteen participants (21%) progressed to moderate dementia. Moderate-to-severe atrophy in the parietal (OR: 6.84; 95%CI: 1.29-36.2; p = 0.024) and temporal lobes (OR: 6.33; 95%CI: 1.23-32.43; p = 0.027) significantly increased the odds of progression.Conclusions: At one-year follow-up, moderate-to-severe atrophy in the parietal and temporal lobes was associated with dementia progression, supporting the potential clinical utility of visual rating scales for monitoring disease progression.","PeriodicalId":12736,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta medica de Mexico","volume":"161 4","pages":"385-392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147467781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
