ABSTRACT

Introducción. El confinamiento debido a COVID-19 influenció el estilo de vida de la población mundial. En México, se ha reportado que esta influencia fue mayoritariamente negativa. Sin embargo, existen muy pocos estudios que reporten el impacto en poblaciones de alta marginación como el estado de Oaxaca, donde ya antes de la pandemia presentaban altas tasas de malnutrición. Objetivo. Analizar los efectos del aislamiento por COVID-19 sobre el consumo alimentario de la población del sur de México. Materiales y métodos. Estudio longitudinal, con una muestra (autoseleccionada) de adultos reclutados mediante un link a una página en LimeSurvey. El primer requisito fue el consentimiento informado. Se preguntaron datos sociodemográficos y se aplicó un cuestionario cuantitativo de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos (raciones/día) recomendables (carnes, cereales, leguminosas, verduras, frutas) y no recomendables (gaseosas, superfluos, azúcares y bebidas alcohólicas). Los participantes respondieron la encuesta al comienzo de la reclusión (marzo'2019) y en enero de 2021. Los datos se analizaron con SPSS'23. Resultados. Se observó un descenso significativo en el consumo de raciones/día (p<0.001) de carnes, cereales, leguminosas y verduras y por otro lado, el consumo de todos los alimentos no recomendables analizados (gaseosas, superfluos, azúcares y bebidas alcohólicas) aumentó significativamente (p<0.001). Conclusiones. Durante el aislamiento por COVID-19 la población oaxaqueña aumentó el consumo de alimentos no saludables y disminuyó el de saludables. Considerando que la situación de salud previa a la pandemia ya no era la esperada, estos resultados aportan un panorama alarmante que requiere intervención(AU)


Introduction. The isolation due to COVID-19 influenced the lifestyle of the world population. In Mexico, it was reported that this influence was mostly negative. However, there are few studies that report this impact in highly marginalized populations such as Oaxaca, which before the pandemic already had high malnutrition figures. Objective. To analyze the effects of isolation by COVID-19 on the food consumption of the population of southern Mexico. Materials and methods. Longitudinal study, with a (self-selected) sample of adults recruited through a link to a page in LimeSurvey. The first requirement was informed consent. Sociodemographic data were recolected and a quantitative questionnaire was applied on the frequency of consumption of recommended (meat, cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits) and non-recommended (soda, miscellaneous group, sugar, and alcoholic beverages) foods (servings/ day). The participants answered the survey at the beginning of the isolation (March'2019) and in January 2021. The data was analyzed with SPSS'23. Results. A significant decrease was observed in the consumption of servings/day (p<0.001) of meat, cereals, legumes and vegetables and on the other hand, the consumption of all non-recommended foods analyzed (soda, miscellaneous group, sugar and alcoholic beverages) increased exponentially (p<0.001). Conclusions. During the isolation due to COVID-19, the Oaxacan population increased the consumption of unhealthy foods and decreased that of healthy ones. Considering that the health situation prior to the pandemic was no longer as expected, these results provide an alarming panorama that requires intervention(AU)

ABSTRACT

Una alimentación saludable es determinante para el buen estado de salud de las personas en cualquier etapa de su ciclo vital. Esta alimentación debe contener los nutrientes esenciales, además de ser variada, adecuada e inocua. El propósito de este artículo fue evaluar los conocimientos sobre alimentación saludable en estudiantes de una universidad pública. Estudio transversal en 136 estudiantes seleccionados por un muestreo aleatorio con afijación proporcional de las escuelas profesionales de Enfermería, Obstetricia, Contabilidad, Derecho, Ingeniería Agrónoma, Ingeniería de Industrias Alimentarias e Ingeniería Civil a los que se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado. En los resultados se observa que el mayor porcentaje (41,2%) tiene nivel medio de conocimientos sobre alimentación saludable y el (38.2%) nivel bajo. Según escuelas profesionales, la escuela de enfermería (66,7%) y obstetricia (26,7%) presentan un mayor nivel de conocimiento sobre alimentación saludable, seguido de los alumnos de Industrias alimentarias (14,3%), Ingeniería civil (13,5%), Derecho (12,5%), Contabilidad y finanzas (9,1%) y Agronomía (5,3%). La prueba de Chi cuadrado demuestra que el nivel de conocimiento tiene relación con su especialidad (p<0,001). Se concluye que los estudiantes del área de salud como enfermería y obstetricia tienen mayores conocimientos sobre alimentación saludable.


Healthy eating is important for good health at all life stages. A healthy diet must contain essential nutrients, be varied, adequate and safe. The purpose of this article was to evaluate knowledge about healthy eating among students of a public university in Peru. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 136 students selected via random sampling with proportional affixation of the professional schools of Nursing, Obstetrics, Accounting, Law, Agrocultural Engineering, Food Industry Engineering and Civil Engineering to which a structured questionnaire was applied. The results showed that 41.2% had a medium level of knowledge about healthy eating and 38.2% had a low level. According to professional schools, the nursing school (66.7%) and obstetrics (26.7%) had a higher level of knowledge about healthy eating, followed by students from Food Industries (14.3%), Civil Engineering (13.5%), Law (12.5%), Accounting and Finance (9.1%) and Agronomy (5.3%). The Chi-square test showed that the level of knowledge related to specialty (p<0.001). We conclude that students in the health area such as nursing and obstetrics have greater knowledge about healthy eating.

ABSTRACT

Objectives@#The study aims to determine whether there is an association of perceived weight status with unhealthy diet practices. @*Method@#An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted among 625 adult undergraduate students from U.P. Manila. The survey included questions regarding sociodemographic status, habits related to diet and weight management, and perceived body mass index (BMI). Actual BMI were obtained and calculated from actual anthropomorphic measurements. @*Results@#In the population surveyed, it was seen that 53.28% of the students accurately perceived their BMI status, 26.08% overestimated their BMI status, while 17.28% underestimated their BMI status. It was also seen that over-estimating of BMI status is more associated with unhealthy diet practices. Those who over estimated their BMI were 1.95 times more likely to skip meals (p=0.001) and 1.56 times more likely to engage in cutting of food (p=0.034). Physical activity was also seen to be associated with these practices. @* Conclusion@#Over-estimation of BMI may be linked to unrealistic goals in weight loss resulting in unhealthier diet-related habits.

ABSTRACT

La obesidad es un problema creciente en Venezuela, el objetivo fue determinar el grado de asociación de la actividad física baja o moderada y hábitos alimentarios no saludables, incluyendo omisión del desayuno, a la obesidad en adolescentes. Se estudiaron 800 adolescentes entre 15 y 19 años de edad (405 hombres). El muestreo fue bietápico: a) selección aleatoria estratificada de 31 instituciones según nivel educativo; b) selección no probabilística por cuota de los adolescentes. Se calculó índice de masa corporal e índice circunferencia abdominal - talla. Se aplicaron cuestionarios sobre hábitos alimentarios y actividad física. Se hizo análisis estratificado según edad, sexo, nivel socioeconómico, peso al nacer y exceso de peso de ambos padres como posibles variables de confusión. La frecuencia de hábitos alimentarios no saludables fue elevada en obesos y no obesos. La asociación de hábitos alimentarios no saludables con la obesidad global fue dependiente del nivel socioeconómico. La omisión del desayuno no se asoció a la obesidad y la actividad física baja o moderada se asoció solo con obesidad central de manera independiente. Se concluye que la asociación de la obesidad y los hábitos alimentarios no saludables parece ser un fenómeno complejo dependiente del contexto social y económico de los adolescentes. La asociación de la obesidad central con la actividad física baja o moderada parece ser más clara e independiente(AU)


Obesity is a growing problem in Venezuela, it was proposed to determine the degree of association of low or moderate physical activity (LMPA) and unhealthy eating habits (UEH), including omission of breakfast (OB), with obesity in adolescents. 800 adolescents between 15 and 19 years (405 men) were studied. A two-stage sampling was performed: a) random stratified selection of 31 institutions by educational level; b) selection of adolescents through non - probabilistic quota sampling. Body mass index (BMI) and waist - height ratio (WHR) were calculated. Questionnaires on eating habits and physical activity were applied. For a stratified analysis, age, sex, socioeconomic status (SES), birthweight and excess weight of both parents were considered as potential confounders. The frequency of UEH was elevated in obese and non-obese. The association of the UEH to the global obesity was dependent on the SES. The OB was not associated with obesity. The LMPA was independently associated with central obesity. We conclude that the association of obesity with UEH seems to be a complex phenomenon dependent on the social and economic context of adolescents. The association of central obesity with AFB-M seems to be more clear and independent(AU)
