Estudio ecológico en México (2003-2009) sobre labio y/o paladar hendido y factores sociodemográficos, socioeconómicos y de contaminación asociados

The State of Jalisco was one of the most affected locations over the years. Ecologic positive correlations existed between cleft lip and/or palate and sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and pollution factors. Incidence rate was negatively correlated with alcohol use and abuse. More detailed epidemiological studies are needed to fully characterize risk factors in Mexican populations.
