RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The Decade of Healthy Aging (2021-2030) emerges as a 10 years strategy to improve the lives of older adults, their families, and the communities in which they live. One of the actions defined in this framework is related to improving the measurement, monitoring, and understanding of characteristics, factors, and needs related to aging and health. The aim was to analyze and assess the process of construction and development of the Strategic Information System on Health, Funcional Dependence and Aging (SIESDE, for its acronym in Spanish). SIESDE will provide strategic information in Mexico at the municipal, state, and national levels that support the public policies on healthy aging. METHODS: The system processes and analyzes the data sources of the Health Information Systems and the National System of Statistical and Geographical Information. SIESDE comprises three components: (1) Design, construction, and evaluation of the indicators; (2) storage, management, and visualization, and (3) diffusion and translation of information. RESULTS: A total of 135 indicators were built on seven themes: (1) demographic, socioeconomic, and aging conditions, (2) health, (3) functional dependence, (4) healthy aging, (5) health services, (6) social and physical environments, and (7) complex indicators. CONCLUSIONS: SIESDE is an effective system for providing an overall view of health, aging, and functional dependence.

Pregnancy presents a large number of metabolic adaptations and requirements of micro and macronutrients could be increased, which are not always covered by the diet making necessary to supplement some of them. The micronutrients are an important part of metabolic reactions and both; their deficiency as their excess could participate in damage to organs and tissues of the mother and the fetus. Actually the hypertension pregnant states (HPS) participate in the leading causes of death during pregnancy, making necessary the search for interventions to prevent or reduce the consequences.The oxidative stress levels are linked with the risk to develop HPS, which has created assumptions about the use of micronutrients with antioxidant power and its possible role as protectors in these pathologies, however, the information is still uncertain and the metabolic action of the use of micronutrients supplementation is not precisely known because some micronutrients have shown a protective effect on the development of HPS. It is necessary to evaluate the nutritional status before and during pregnancy, as well to realize more studies about it and strengthen public policies about the use of micronutrients during the pregnancy.
