ABSTRACT

Objetivo: caracterizar por primera vez los principales hábitos relacionados con las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles en estudiantes universitarios. Método: estudio descriptivo transversal en una muestra estimada de 248 estudiantes entre indígenas y mestizos que ingresaron en 2012 en la Universidad Nacional de Agricultura, Honduras. Se contó con la aprobación del Comité de Ética del Instituto de Nutrición de Centroamérica y Panamá y con el consentimiento de los participantes. Se aplicó el cuestionario STEPS para recolectar información sociodemográfica, consumo de frutas, verduras, tabaquismo, alcoholismo y actividad física. Se realizó examen físico que incluyó toma de presión arterial, medida de la cintura, talla, peso y glucometría. Resultados: en la muestra, 139 (56,28 por ciento) eran hombres. La edad promedio fue de 21,5 años. El 22,22 por ciento tenía sobrepeso; 4,12 por ciento bajo peso y 3,29 por ciento obesidad; 12,75 por ciento declararon fumar y 53,5 por ciento consumir alcohol. En promedio, hombres y mujeres, consumían 1,6 y 1,1 porciones de frutas y verduras al día respectivamente. El 94,74 por ciento utilizaba bicicleta o caminaba al menos 10 minutos; 58,1 por ciento practicaba deportes. El 98 pior ciento tenía presión arterial normal y el 5,74 por ciento prediabetes (101-125 mg/dL en ayunas). Conclusiones: la población estudiantil lenca y otras etnias no se diferencian en su estado nutricional de los mestizos. La población posee factores protectores para las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles como actividad física y bajo consumo de tabaco, pero ingieren apenas frutas y verduras. Las mujeres participan menos en deportes(AU)


Objective: to characterize for the first time the main habits related to non-communicable chronic diseases in university students. Methods: a cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in an estimated sample of 248 students from native and mixed groups, who joined the National University of Agriculture in 2012 in Honduras. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama. The participants gave their informed consent. The questionnaire STEPS was used for collecting socio-demographic information, data on consumption of fruits, vegetables, smoking, alcohol and physical activity. A physical examination including measurement of height, weight, waist, blood pressure and blood glucose levels was performed in all of them. Results: of the surveyed 248 students, 139 (56.28 percent) were men. The average age was 21.5 years and 63.71 percent of the participants had a monthly family income of less than US$255. In the group, 22.22 percent ere overweighed, 3.29 percent obese and 4.12 percent low weighed. Alcohol was taken by 53.5 percent and 12.75 percent were current smokers. An average of 1.6 and 1.1 portions of fruits and vegetables per day were consumed, respectively. In this sample, 94.74 percent rode a bicycle or walked at least 10 minutes a day; 58.1 percent played sports. Most of them (98 percent ad normal blood pressure and 5.74 percent howed pre-diabetic glucose levels (101-125 mg/dL on fasting). Conclusions: the lencas and other native groups were not important different in nutritional status from students of mixed race. The population has protective factors that prevent it from developing non communicable diseases like physical activity and low smoking indexes; however, they barely consume fruits and vegetables. Women were especially less involved in sports(AU)

ABSTRACT

Los objetivos del estudio son caracterizar la incidencia de psicopatología y antecedentes de conducta suicida en universitarios que consultan a un Servicio de Salud Estudiantil y determinar diferencias y/o asociaciones significativas en relación a género. Se utilizó un diseño no experimental de carácter exploratorio y cuantitativo. Se recogieron antecedentes de conducta suicida y diagnósticos según DSM-IV (ejes I y II). Se incluyeron 460 universitarios que recibieron atención psicológica y/o psiquiátrica entre 01/2006 y 07/2008, según muestreo aleatorio estratificado. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, inferencial y relacional. Los resultados indican incidencias consistentemente altas con hallazgos en poblaciones universitarias extranjeras y nacionales. Se encontraron tasas significativas para trastornos adaptativos, trastornos del ánimo, trastornos de ansiedad, desordenes de personalidad y antecedentes conducta suicida. Un alto porcentaje presenta alteraciones clínicas ligadas a ansiedad y depresión. Se encuentra mayor incidencia de trastornos adaptativos que de otros trastornos; y diferencias-asociaciones significativas según género para diversos trastornos.


The objective of the study is to characterize the incidence of psychopathology and suicidal behavior data in university students who attend the Student Health Service have, and to determine differences and/or significant relationships with the individual gender. We used a non-experimental exploratory and quantitative. We collected suicidal behavior data and diagnoses according to DSM-IV (Axis I and II). The sample included 460 students who received psychological and/or psychiatric treatment between 01/2006 and 07/2008, using a random stratified sampling methodology. Relational and descriptive statistics was used. The results indicate the high consistent incidents with finds in university foreign and national populations. Rates were significant for adaptive disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders and suicidal behavior data. A high percentage of the students show clinical alterations related to anxiety and depression. A higher rate of adaptive disorders was found, compared with other disorders; and significant differences/associations with the gender for different disorders.
