Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) affect over a quarter of young children in Mexico, with higher rates in lower socioeconomic groups. Prevention strategies, including vaccination, are crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatrics
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) represent a significant health burden in children under five.
  • Socioeconomic disparities can influence ARI prevalence and access to care.

Purpose:

  • To estimate the prevalence of ARIs in Mexican children under five within a two-week period.
  • To identify associated socioeconomic factors and recognized warning signs of ARIs.

Summary:

  • Data from the 2022 National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut Continua 2022) revealed a 27.6% prevalence of ARIs in children under five.
  • Prevalence was notably higher in the lowest socioeconomic tercile (44.1%).
  • The most recognized warning sign was 'appearing sicker' (33.0%), while 'pus discharge from the ear' was least recognized (1.5%).

Impact:

  • Findings highlight the substantial impact of ARIs on young children in Mexico, disproportionately affecting those from lower economic backgrounds.
  • Results underscore the need for enhanced prevention strategies, including vaccination, disease control, and health promotion initiatives.
