ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar la composición corporal según factor de riesgo de obesidad en estudiantes universitarios sanos. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Población muestra: 217 estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de una universidad privada de Barranquilla, en edades entre 20 a 33 años, quienes cumplían los criterios de inclusión, previo consentimiento informado. Se evaluaron las variables sexo, edad, índice de masa corporal, grasa corporal, grasa visceral, por método de impedancia y niveles de presión arterial. Resultados: 77 % femenino, 23 % masculino. La edad promedio fue de 21 años con una desviación estándar de 3,97 años; el 57,6 % reveló Índice de Masa Corporal normal, 24,4 % sobrepeso; el grupo femenino con IMC normal presentó grasa corporal alto (44,80 %) y muy alto (12,00 %); un incremento en grasa corporal se detectó como alto (30,95 %) y muy alto (44,64 %)en el género femenino y la grasa visceral como alto (16,33 %) y muy alto(4,08 %); el género masculino arrojo cifras de franca hipertensión (26,53 %). Conclusiones: El mayor porcentaje de los jóvenes evaluados estuvo en la clasificación normal para ambos sexos, sin embargo, en relación con la grasa visceral se detectó en mayor porcentaje en el género masculino. El estudio permitió identificar que el IMC tiene influencia sobre el resultado de la grasa corporal, siendo más elevado en el género femenino. En relación con los niveles de hipertensión se halló que el género masculino está más asociado con la hipertensión, y el femenino a la hipotensión. Resultados de interés para futuras investigaciones.
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate body composition according to obesity risk factor in healthy university students. Materials and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Population shows 217 students of the faculty of health sciences of a private University of Barranquilla between the ages of 20 and 33 who met the inclusion criteria with prior informed consent. The variables were evaluated: sex, age, body mass index, body fat, visceral fat, by impedance method and blood pressure levels. Results: 77 % female, 23 % male, the average age was 21 years with a standard deviation of 3.97 years, 57.6 % revealed normal Body Mass Index 24.4 % by weight, the female group with BMI normal presented high body fat (44.80 %) and very high (12.00 %), an increase in body fat was detected as high (30.95 %) and very high (44.64 %) in the female gender and visceral fat as high (16.33 %) and very high (4.08%), the male gender showed figures of frank hypertension (26.53 %). Conclusions: the highest percentage of the young people evaluated was in the normal classification for both sexes, however, in relation to visceral fat it was detected in a greater percentage in the male gender. The study allowed us to identify that the BMI has an influence on the result of Body Fat, being higher in the female gender. Regarding the levels of hypertension, it was found that the male gender is more associated with hypertension and the female gender is associated with hypotension. Results of interest for future research.
ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: One of the health problems in developing countries, especially in Indonesia, is obesity. Indonesia Basic Health Research 2018 result revealed the prevalence of obesity in Indonesia as much as 21% in the research. It concluded very high when compared to obesity prevalence in Indonesia Basic Health Survey in 2007 and 2013. The aim of this study is to estimating risk factors that contributed to obesity in Indonesia. Methods: The research design in this study was a cross-sectional study by analyzing secondary data from the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS). There were 9803 respondents was selected from 11142 respondents. Binary logistic regression was performed to answer the research objectives. Results: Sex (p-value 0.0001, AOR 1.908, 95% CI 1.672 – 2.014), educational level (p-value 0.034, AOR 1.431, 95% CI 1.026–1.994), age (p-value 0.0001, AOR 0.561, 95% CI 0.309– 0.968), cigarette smoking (p-value 0.002, AOR 1.945, 95% CI 1.278 – 2.958), fruit consumption (p-value 0.002, AOR 1.458, 95% CI 1.153–1.843) and vegetables consumption (p-value 0.023, AOR 0.742, 95% 0.373 – 0.960) were significance variable in the occurrence of obesity in adolescents. Meanwhile, based on sociodemographic adjusted, gender (p-value 0.0001, AOR 1.660, 95% CI 1.366 – 2.019) and age (p-value 0.0001, AOR 1.822, 95% CI 1.500 – 2.213) were significance variable correlate to obesity in adolescents. Conclusion: Adolescent has a risk of obesity caused by their wrong behaviour, especially young females. Indonesian Ministry of Health needs to make health promotion through social media that it can be easily accessed by the adolescent.
ABSTRACT
FUNDAMENTO: A circunferência abdominal (CA) é a medida que mais se correlaciona com os fatores de risco e morte por doença cardiovascular. Entretanto, o impacto da obesidade no prognóstico de pacientes com doenças cardiovasculares permanece controverso e requer maiores esclarecimentos. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a CA como preditor de evolução em 30 dias em pacientes que internaram com síndrome coronariana aguda (SCA), em hospital de referência no tratamento de doenças cardiovasculares. MÉTODOS: Coorte contemporânea com 267 pacientes que internaram por SCA e que foram seguidos por 30 dias após a alta levando em consideração os eventos cardiovasculares maiores - MACE - (óbito, reinfarto, reinternação para procedimentos de revascularização). Nas primeiras 24 horas da admissão, os pacientes responderam a um questionário e posteriormente tiveram a CA mensurada. A análise estatística foi realizada com SPSS 17.0, utilizando o teste do Qui-quadrado para variáveis categóricas e o teste t de Student para as variáveis numéricas, com o nível de significância de p < 0,05. As variáveis que apresentaram valores de p < 0,10, na análise bivariada, foram incluídas em um modelo de regressão logística para avaliar o papel da CA como preditor independente de MACE. RESULTADOS: Após análise multivariável, apenas o gênero feminino (RC = 8,86; 95 por cento IC:4,55-17,10; p < 0,00), hipertensão arterial sistêmica (RC = 2,06; 95 por cento IC:1,10-3,87; p = 0,02) e história familiar de cardiopatia isquêmica (RC = 2,10; 95 por cento IC:1,17-3,74; p = 0,01) permaneceram associados com os MACE. CONCLUSÃO: Em nosso estudo, a CA alterada não se associou à maior incidência de MACE em 30 dias de seguimento.
BACKGROUND: Abdominal circumference (WC) is the measure that correlates most closely with the risk factors and death from cardiovascular disease. However, the impact of obesity on the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease remains controversial and requires further clarification. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate WA as a predictor of 30-day outcome in patients who were hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), in a referral hospital for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. METHODS: Contemporary cohort 267 patients who were hospitalized for ACS and who were followed for 30 days after discharge, taking into account the major cardiovascular events - MACE - (death, reinfarction, rehospitalization for coronary artery bypass grafting procedures). In the first 24 hours of admission, patients answered a questionnaire and were subsequently measured for WC. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 17.0, using the chi-square test for categorical variables and Student t test for numerical variables, with significance level of p < 0.05. The variables that had p < 0.10 in the bivariate analysis were included in a logistic regression model to evaluate the WC role as an independent predictor of MACE. RESULTS: After multivariate analysis, only the female gender (OR = 8.86; 95 percent CI: 4.55-17. 10, p < 0.00), hypertension (OR = 2.06; 95 percent CI: 1.10-3.87; p = 0.02) and family history of ischemic heart disease (OR = 2.10; 95 percent CI: 1.17-3.74; p = 0.01) remained associated with the MACE. CONCLUSION: In our study, the modified AC was not associated with increased incidence of MACE over the 30 days of follow-up.

CONCLUSIÓN: En nuestro estudio, la CA alterada no se asoció a una mayor incidencia de MACE a los 30 días de seguimiento. (Arq Bras Cardiol 2011;96(5):399-404).
