Objetivos: Determinar los factores asociados a ansiedad en adultos mayores en el Servicio Geriátrico del Centro Médico Naval. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio analítico, análisis secundario de una base de datos de un estudio realizado entre 2010 y 2015 en el Centro Médico Naval del Perú (CEMENA). Analizamos un total de 1686 datos de participantes. La Ansiedad se consideró como variable dependiente, medida con el test de Hamilton teniendo como punto de corte 14. El análisis se realizó mediante el programa STATA. Se aplicó Chi cuadrado y T de Student para el análisis bivariado, y para el análisis multivariado se empleó regresión de Poisson, con la finalidad de determinar las frecuencias y asociación de ansiedad con las diferentes variables. Resultados: En el análisis multivariado se encontró asociación con velocidad de marcha (RP 1.11; 95% IC: 1.03-1.2), síntomas depresi...

Objectives. To perform a spatial analysis of arterial hypertension in the Peruvian adult population to identify geographic patterns with a higher concentration of cases. Materials and methods: A spatial analysis was conducted using data from the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) 2022. A sample of 29,422 adults was included, and the global Moran’s index and Getis-Ord Gi* analysis were used to evaluate spatial autocorrelation and cluster concentration. Results: The age-standardized prevalence of arterial hypertension was 19.2%. Clusters with a high concentration of arterial hypertension were observed in departments along the Peruvian coast such as Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Ancash, and Lima, as well as in the northern regions of the Highlands. Clusters were also found in the regions of Loreto and Madre de Dios in the Peruvian jungle. Conclusions: This study reveal...
