Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of the methodological proposal to estimate the incidence and mortality due to cancer attributable to modifiable risk factors for Peru and Latin America. Methods: Pilot study, ecological from secondary sources. Modifiable risk factors, exposure prevalence, relative risks of these factors (RR) or an approximation by means of possibilities ratio (OR) were searched and selected. The information was recorded in a data collection form which was validated by expert judgment. For the calculation of the Population Attributable Fraction (FAP), the formula proposed by Parkin was tested and a statistical simulation model was developed with R. Studio V. 3.6.1 software. Results: In Peru there are prevalence studies for the majority of modifiable risk factors; Likewise, studies with OR estimates for several of the factors are available in Latin America; however, s...

Objetivo: Evaluar la factibilidad y validar de la propuesta metodológica para estimar la incidencia y mortalidad por cáncer atribuible a factores de riesgo modificables para el Perú y Latinoamérica. Métodos: Estudio piloto, ecológico a partir de fuentes secundarias. Se buscó y seleccionó los factores de riesgo modificables, prevalencia de exposicion, los riesgos relativos de dichos factores (RR) o una aproximación mediante la razón de posibilidades (OR). La información fue consignada en una ficha de recolección de datos la cual fue validada mediante juicio de expertos. Para el cálculo de la Fracción Atribuible Poblacional (FAP) se ensayó la fórmula planteada por Parkin y se desarrolló un modelo de simulación estadística con el software R. Studio V. 3.6.1. Resultados: En el Perú se cuenta con estudios de prevalencia para la mayoría de factores de riesgo modificables; ...

“Background: The metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) phenotype has been considered a risk factor for different chronic diseases, but its role in high blood pressure (HBP) is still unclear. The aim of the study is to determine if the MONW phenotype constitutes a risk factor for hypertension in Peruvian adults belonging to a 5-year cohort. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. A secondary analysis from the database of the PERU MIGRANT study was carried out from the MONW and non-MONW cohorts; after a 5-year follow-up, the appearance of HBP was evaluated in the subjects of both cohorts. To assess the strength and magnitude of the association, a Poisson regression model (crude and adjusted) with robust variance was used. The measure of association was the relative risk (RR). Results: The incidence of HBP was 11.30%. In the multivariable analysis, subjects with the MONW phenoty...
