Résumé
"Objectives. To report the prevalence of severe functional difficulties and disability (SFD) in a nationally representative sample of children ages 5 to 17 in Mexico, to identify fac - tors associated with SFD, and population profiles predictive of SFD. Materials and methods. Using data from the National Survey on Children and Women we estimated prevalence and 95% confidence intervals of SFD and risk factors. We fitted bivariate and multivariate logistic regres - sion models. We then examined which combinations of the sociodemographic factors best predicted SFD. Results. The prevalence of SFD was 11.2%. The most prevalent SFD were on the socioemotional dimension (8.3%). The associated risk factors in the three dimensions were: living in a poor household, being a boy, having a mother with basic education or less, and non-indigenous background or living in an urban area. Conclusions. Identifying groups of the population at higher risk for SFD provides useful information for targeted intervention implementation."
