• SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. INEQUAILTY, IMMIGRATION AND GENDER.

The project ‘Health and Cultures’ studies the health of the immigrant population and

its determinant factors, in order to identify the specific needs and the barriers that
limit health care of this minority. Other lines are the study of violence and gender

determinants of health, and, within the MEDEA project, the study of economic and
environmental inequalities on the morbidity and mortality in small areas of large cit-

ies in Spain.

Through 2013, our group has published over 80 original papers in high-impact
Highlights
international scientific journals (sum of FI=414). It has also led relevant national
and regional studies on cardiovascular disease (social position and coronary heart

disease, physical activity and cerebrovascular disease), diabetes (anthropometric

determinants), seminal quality in young population, and trends in suicide mor-
tality, as well as studies on the epidemiology of mental disorders in the general

population. Furthermore, the group has coordinated the REDEPICAN guide of ex-

ternal evaluation of cancer registries for Latin America (Rev. Panam. Salud Públi-
ca, 34:336-42). Jointly with other CIBERESP and international groups, our group

has collaborated in important European or international projects, published in top
scientific journals, such as the genetic mapping of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

(Albright et al., Nature Gentics), or the prognostic value of antibodies against the

human papillomavirus on the future risk of head and neck cancer (Kreimer et al.,
J Clin Oncol). The group further leads or actively collaborates in several projects
13
(‘Health and Cultures’, PEGASUS-Murcia (PI12/00809, 2013I052), EPIC-InterAct, 20
T
EPIC-CVD), and has received funding in the AES 2013 national call of the Carlos OR
III Health Institute (PI13/01162) to update information on survivors of the EPIC- P
RE
Murcia cohort. A further example of the international projection and leadership L
of the group is the creation in Murcia of a Partnership within the context of the A
NU
European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP AHA), with N
A
the objective to address the social challenge of ageing, both in preserving health P /
and active living as much as it is possible. Such Partnership, approved by the EU S
RE
in 2013, is already involved as European partner in the project INclusive INtroduc- E
IB
tion of INtegrated CAre (IN3CA) (Grant Agreement No. 621006; ICT PSP Call).
