Estudio comparativo de marcadores bioquímicos de salud, en dos grupos etarios de docentes universitarios, 2017 / Comparative study of biochemical health markers, in two groups of university professors of the same age group, 2017

RESUMEN

Objetivo: Comparar los valores de los marcadores bioquímicos sanguíneos ácido úrico, creatinina, glucosa, colesterol y triglicéridos, entre dos grupos de docentes universitarios aparentemente sanos. Métodos: El primer grupo, formado por 58 docentes de 60 a 64 años y, el segundo por 35 docentes de 75 a 81 años; para evaluar si hay diferencia estadística significativa entre ambos grupos. Resultados: Los valores de ácido úrico en el grupo I estuvieron entre 2,50 mg/dL. y 8,20 mg/dL, y en el grupo II entre 2,50 mg/dL y 8,63 mg/dL, con diferencia significativa (p=0.035). Los valores de creatinina en el grupo I estuvieron entre 0,64 mg/dL y 1,56 mg/dL, y en el grupo II entre 0,80 mg/dL y 1,61 mg/dL., con diferencia significativa (p=0.004). Los valores de glucosa en el grupo I estuvieron entre 63 mg/dL y 188 mg/dL, y en el grupo II entre 60 mg/dL y 297 mg/dL, sin encontrar diferencia significativa (p=0.671). Los valores de colesterol en el grupo I estuvieron entre 125 mg/dL y 265 mg/ dL, y en el grupo II entre 107 mg/dL y 244 mg/dL, sin encontrar diferencia significativa (p=0.053). Los valores de triglicéridos en el grupo I estuvieron entre 58 mg/dL y 507 mg/dL, y en el grupo II entre 68 mg/dL y 314 mg/ dL, sin encontrar diferencia significativa (p=0.104). Conclusión: En los marcadores bioquímicos de ácido úrico y creatinina hay diferencia significativa entre ambos grupos etarios. En cambio, en los marcadores de glucosa, colesterol y triglicéridos, no se demuestra diferencia significativa entre ambos grupos etarios.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Compare the values of the blood biomakers uric acid, creatinine, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, in two groups of university professors apparently healthy. Methods: The first group, formed by 58 professors aged 60 to 64, and the second formed by 35 professors aged 75 to 81, in order to evaluate if there is a significant statistic difference in both groups. Results: The values of uric acid in group I were between 2,50 mg/dL. and 8,20 mg/dL; in groups II were between 2,50 mg/dL and 8,63 mg/dL, showing a significant difference (p=0.035). The values of creatinine in group I were between 0,64 mg/dL and 1,56 mg/dL; and in group II were between 0,80 mg/ dL and 1,61 mg/dL., showing a significant difference (p=0.004). The values of glucose in group I were between 63 mg/dL and 188 mg/dL; and in group II were between 60 mg/dL y 297 mg/dL, not showing significant difference (p=0.671). The values of cholesterol in group I were between 125 mg/dL and 265 mg/dL; and in group II were between 107 mg/dL and 244 mg/dL; not showing significant difference (p=0.053). The values of triglycerides in group I were between 58 mg/dL and 507 mg/dL; and in group II were between 68 mg/dL and 314 mg/dL; not showing significant difference (p=0.104). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the biomarkers of uric acid and creatinine between the age groups; however, there was not found significant difference in the biomarkers of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides between the age groups.
