Health literacy and chronic kidney disease.

چکیده
Alrededor de 1970 en Canadá se empezaron a gestar las políticas de promoción de la salud cuando el Ministerio de Salud y Bienestar, liderado por Marc Lalonde, señaló la incapacidad del sistema sanitario público para garantizar, por sí solo, la salud de la población, considerando el elevado presupuesto dedicado a ello y el escaso resultado obtenido en el cambio de estilos de vida. Posteriormente, estas conclusiones fueron recogidas en la 1. Conferencia Mundial sobre Promoción de la Salud (1986)1, donde se elaboró la Carta de Ottawa que incidía en el desarrollo del concepto de promoción de la salud, que «consiste en proporcionar a la población los medios necesarios para mejorar su salud y ejercer un mayor control sobre ella, considerando que para alcanzar un estado adecuado de bienestar físico, mental y social un individuo o grupo debe ser capaz de identificar y realizar sus aspiraciones, de satisfacer sus necesidades y de cambiar o adaptarse al medio ambiente»1. En conferencias posteriores celebradas en Adelaida (1988), Sundsvall (1991), Jakarta (1997), Ciudad de México (2000), Bangkok (2005) y Nairobi (2009), se siguió haciendo hincapié en la necesidad de desarrollar políticas públicas que reforzaran la acción comunitaria y estrategias orientadas a capacitar a las personas para que aumenten el control sobre su salud y, con equidad sanitaria, a proporcionar los medios que permitan a toda la población desarrollar al máximo su potencial de salud. Finalmente, en la 8. Conferencia Mundial de Promoción de la Salud celebrada en Helsinki (2013)2, se caracterizó la promoción de la salud como un derecho fundamental de todo ser humano, así como un factor determinante de la calidad
