Abstract
OBJETIVO: Identificar la información validada disponible sobre la relación entre el capital so cial (CS) y la salud en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). MÉTODOS: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de los trabajos publicados entre enero de 1990 y junio de 2007 en las bases de datos Medline, SciELO, LILACS y The Cochrane Library. Se analizaron todos los artículos de investigación y revisión publicados en revistas científicas, que evaluaran el CS y su relación con la salud en ALC. RESULTADOS: Se encontraron 15 artículos (11 de investigación original y 4 de revisión). Las áreas de salud exploradas por las investigaciones originales fueron: a) mortalidad y esperanza de vida, b) salud mental, c) traumas, d) estado nutricional y e) vacunación. Se analiza detalla damente la validez de estos trabajos, sus resultados y principales conclusiones. CONCLUSIONES: A pesar de las limitaciones propias del concepto de CS y de los estudios iden tificados, se puede afirmar que existe evidencia científica incipiente de la posible relación entre el CS y la salud en ALC. El CS podría desempeñar un papel protector en ciertas áreas sanita rias, como la prevención de traumas y la salud mental; no obstante, la relación entre el CS y la salud podría variar según los subtipos de CS y los contextos socioeconómicos y culturales es pecíficos. Resulta fundamental continuar desarrollando investigaciones en el ámbito de la epi demiología social, en las que se analice en profundidad la relación entre los determinantes so ciales y los aspectos específicos de la salud en el contexto de ALC.
OBJECTIVE: To identify validated information available on the relationship between social capital (SC) and health in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). METHODS: A systematic search for papers published from January 1990-June 2007 was conducted on the Medline, SciELO, LILACS, and the Cochrane Library databases. All of the research and review articles published by scientific journals that evaluated CS and its relationship to health in LAC were included in the analysis. RESULTS: Fifteen articles were found (11 original research and 4 reviews). The health topics examined by the research articles were: (a) mortality and life expectancy, (b) mental health, (c) injuries, (d) nutritional status, and (e) immunization. The validity of these works, the results, and the principal conclusions were analyzed in depth. CONCLUSIONS: Despite limitations inherent to the CS concept and the studies identified, it was confirmed that scientific evidence exists to support the possible association between CS and health in LAC. CS could play a protective role in certain health areas, such as injury prevention and mental health; not withstanding, the relationship between CS and health could vary according to CS subtype and socioeconomic context and culture. It is therefore imperative to continue social epidemiology research that thoroughly investigates the relationship between social determinants and specific aspects of health in LAC context.
