Kidney Function in the Wixarika (Huichol) Ethnic Group, a Disadvantaged Population Underevaluated in Mexico

Résumé fourni par la source

Indigenous populations worldwide face social disadvantages and have poorer health outcomes; within them, women are even more vulnerable because they face higher discrimination. On the other hand, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major problem worldwide, but some areas present more difficulties, such as Latin America, and Mexico particularly. Even in the most advanced countries, there are disadvantaged populations with ethnic/racial, social, cultural, and economic disparities that are well-known risk factors for CKD1; however, there is scarce information about CKD prevalence among these populations.
