ABSTRACT

Introducción: El personal que labora en las universidadespodría constituir un grupo vulnerable de padecer enfermeda-des cardiovasculares, debido a los cambios constantes en elestilo de vida, como las rutinas de trabajo acelerado, largasjornadas sentados frente a un computador e inadecuados há-bitos alimentarios. Objetivo: Evaluar el estado nutricional y riesgo cardiovascu-lar del personal que labora dentro de un campus universitario. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio transversal, descriptivo yobservacional. Se recogió información sobre el estilo de vidacomo la ingesta de alcohol, consumo de cigarrillos y prácticade actividad física. Para identificar los hábitos alimentarios seaplicó una encuesta validada de frecuencia de consumo dealimentos. El riesgo cardiovascular se lo pudo establecer me-diante los puntos de corte de la circunferencia cintura, índicecintura/altura e índice cintura/cadera.Resultados: La muestra de investigación estuvo consti-tuida por 112 varones y 217 mujeres que representaron el34% y 66% respectivamente. El mayor porcentaje de investi-gados expresaron no ingerir alcohol (55,0%), no consumir ci-garrillos (90,0%) y, no realizar ningún tipo de actividad físicadiaria (52,6%). Se encontró una ingesta insuficiente en todoslos grupos de alimentos. El riesgo cardiovascular medido através de la circunferencia cintura arrojó un riesgo alto(25,8%) y muy alto (41,6%). Por otra, mediante el uso del ín-dice cintura/altura, se evidenció que el 99,1% de los investi-gados presenta riesgo cardiovascular. Finalmente, a través delíndice cintura/cadera se encontró un riesgo elevado (34,3) ymuy elevado (27,7%). Conclusiones: El riesgo cardiovascular determinado a tra-vés de perímetros e índices antropométricos en la poblaciónuniversitaria investigada fue alta.(AU)


Introduction: Staff working in universities could constitutea vulnerable group for suffering from cardiovascular diseases,due to constant changes in lifestyle, such as accelerated workroutines, long days sitting in front of a computer and inadequateeating habits.Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status and cardio -vascular risk of personnel who work within a university campus.Materials and methods:Cross-sectional, descriptive andobservational study. Information was collected on lifestylesuch as alcohol intake, cigarette consumption, and physical activity. To identify eating habits, a validated food consumptionfrequency survey was applied. Cardiovascular risk could beestablished using the cut-off points of waist circumference,waist/height ratio and waist/hip ratio.Results: The research sample consisted of 112 men and217 women, representing 34% and 66% respectively. Thehighest percentage of those investigated expressed notdrinking alcohol (55.0%), not consuming cigarettes(90.0%) and not doing any type of daily physical activity(52.6%). Insufficient intake was found in all food groups.Cardiovascular risk measured through waist circumferenceshowed a high risk (25.8%) and a very high risk (41.6%).On the other hand, through the use of the waist/heightratio, it was shown that 99.1% of those investigatedpresent cardiovascular risk. Finally, through the waist/hipratio, a high (34.3) and very high (27.7%) risk was found.Conclusions:The cardiovascular risk determined throughperimeters and anthropometric indices in the universitypopulation investigated was high. It is recommended toimplement health promotion strategies to prevent theappearance of these pathologies in the long term and, in turn,treat the disease in people who suffer from it, allowing themto improve their quality of life.(AU)
