| Abstract (English): |
Objectives. To report the prevalence of severe functional difficulties and disability (SFD) in a nationally representative sample of children ages 5 to 17 in Mexico, to identify factors associated with SFD, and population profiles predictive of SFD. Materials and methods. Using data from the National Survey on Children and Women we estimated prevalence and 95% confidence intervals of SFD and risk factors. We fitted bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models. We then examined which combinations of the sociodemographic factors best predicted SFD. Results. The prevalence of SFD was 11.2%. The most prevalent SFD were on the socioemotional dimension (8.3%). The associated risk factors in the three dimensions were: living in a poor household, being a boy, having a mother with basic education or less, and non-indigenous background or living in an urban area. Conclusions. Identifying groups of the population at higher risk for SFD provides useful information for targeted intervention implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Objetivos. Reportar la prevalencia de dificultades funcionales y discapacidad severa (SFD) en una muestra nacional representativa de niños de 5 a 17 años en México; identificar los factores asociados con SFD; documentar los perfiles poblacionales que predicen SFD. Material y métodos. Se utilizaron los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Niñas, Niños y Mujeres en México; se estimaron prevalencias e intervalos de confianza al 95%. Se ajustaron modelos bivariados y multivariados. Se examinaron las combinaciones de factores sociodemográficos que mejor predecían la SFD. Resultados. La prevalencia de SFD fue de 11.2%. Las SFD más prevalentes fueron en la dimensión socioemocional (8.3%). Los factores de riesgo asociados en las tres dimensiones fueron pobreza, ser hombre, tener una madre con educación primaria o menor, no ser indígena o vivir en zonas urbanas. Conclusiones. Identificar a los grupos con mayor riesgo de SFD dentro de la población proporciona información útil para el desarrollo de intervenciones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
