Concordância entre as medidas aferidas de peso, altura e IMC e autorrelatadas pela internet em participantes da coorte de nascimentos de Pelotas de 1993: estudo transversal de validação / Agreement between measured weight, height and BMI and Web-based self-reported data in participants of the 1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort, Brazil: a cross-sectional validation study / Concordancia entre medidas de peso, talla e IMC autoinformadas en internet en participantes de la Cohorte de Nascimiento de Pelotas de 1993, Brasil: estudio de validación transversal

Objetivo: avaliar a concordância entre altura, peso e índice de massa corporal (IMC) aferidos durante o acompanhamento dos 22 anos da coorte de nascimentos de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, de 1993, e dados autorrelatados durante o acompanhamento online da coortesnaweb. Métodos: estudo transversal de validação; a concordância foi avaliada pelos coeficientes de correlação de Lin para medidas contínuas e de Kappa ponderado para o estado nutricional; utilizou-se a correlação de Spearman para estimar a correlação entre as medidas. Resultados: 783 participantes foram incluídos; observou-se alta correlação e alta concordância entre as medidas de altura (r = 0,966; ρ = 0,966), peso (r = 0,934; ρ = 0,928) e IMC (r = 0,903; ρ = 0,910) aferidas e as autorrelatadas via internet; não houve correlação entre as diferenças médias e o intervalo de tempo entre as medidas. Conclusão: utilizar a internet para coletar medidas antropométricas autorrelatadas é um método válido, comparado ao método tradicional.

Objective: to evaluate the agreement between measured height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) during the 22-year follow-up of the 1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and self-reported data during the online follow-up of the coortesnaweb. Methods: this was a cross-sectional validation study; agreement was assessed by means of Lin's concordance correlation coefficient for continuous measures and weighted Kappa for nutritional status; Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to estimate the correlation between measurements. Results: a total of 783 participants were included; it could be seen high correlation and high agreement between the measured height (r = 0.966; ρ = 0.966), weight (r = 0.934; ρ = 0.928), and BMI (r = 0.903; ρ = 0.910) and Web-based self-reported data; there was no correlation between mean difference and the time interval between measurements. Conclusion: using the Internet to collect self-reported anthropometric measurements is as valid as the traditional method.

Métodos: estudio metodológico de validación. Se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación de Lin para medidas continuas, y de Kappa ponderado para el estado nutricional y la correlación de Spearman para la correlación entre medidas. Resultados: se incluyeron 783 participantes, con alta correlación y concordancia entre las medidas de talla (r = 0,966; ρ = 0,966), peso (r = 0,934; ρ = 0,928) e IMC (r = 0,903; ρ = 0,910) medidos y autoinformados vía web. No hubo correlación entre las diferencias de medidas y el intervalo de tiempo entre las mediciones. Conclusión: el uso de internet para recopilar variables antropométricas autoinformadas es válido en comparación con el método tradicional.

Personality and coping in League of Legends pro players / Personalidade e coping em jogadores profissionais de League of Legends / Personalidad y coping en jugadores profesionales de League of Legends

Personality has been identified as a predictor of Coping strategies in the context of traditional sport. In this study, we investigated the association between measurements of Big Five Factor and coping strategies in professional League of Legends (LOL) players. 138 people participated, aged between 16 and 37 years (M = 21.24, SD = 3.77), who answered the Big Five Inventory and Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28. Correlations were made between the scores of these instruments, and regression of coping skills in personality factors. Neuroticism and Conscientiousness are associated with the use of Coping skills, which suggests that personality is a relevant variable in understanding the use of adaptative strategies to deal with adversity while playing LOL, however, other studies should be carried out in the future.

A personalidade tem sido apontada como preditora de estratégias de Coping no contexto do esporte tradicional. Nesse estudo, investigamos a associação entre medidas dos Cinco Grandes Fatores de personalidade e estratégias de Coping em jogadores profissionais de League of Legends (LOL). Participaram 138 pessoas, com idades entre 16 e 37 anos (M=21,24, DP=3,77), as quais responderam o Big Five Inventory e o Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28. Foram realizadas correlações entre os escores desses instrumentos, e regressão das habilidades de coping nos fatores de personalidade. Neuroticismo e Conscienciosidade estão associados com o uso das habilidades de Coping, o que sugere que a personalidade é uma variável relevante na compreensão das estratégias adotadas para lidar com as adversidades no LOL, porém, novos estudos devem ser realizados futuramente.

La personalidad ha sido identificada como un predictor de estrategias de afrontamiento en el contexto del deporte tradicional. En este estudio, investigamos la asociación entre los cinco factores de personalidad y las estrategias de afrontamiento en jugadores profesionales de League of Legends (LOL). Participaron 138 personas, con edades entre 16 y 37 años (M = 21,24, DT = 3,77), que respondieron el Inventario Big Five y el Inventario de Habilidades de Afrontamiento Atlético-28. Se realizaron correlaciones entre las puntuaciones de estos instrumentos y la regresión de las habilidades de afrontamiento en los factores de personalidad. El neuroticismo y responsabilidad están asociados con el uso de habilidades de afrontamiento, lo que sugiere que la personalidad es una variable relevante para comprender el uso de estrategias para lidiar con adversidad en LOL, sin embargo, otros estudios deberían realizarse en el futuro.

Year Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus ­ A Survey of Rural Communities in Southern Nigeria

BACKGROUND: The exponential rise in the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) necessitates the introduction of strategies for early diagnosis to reduce the burden of the disease. This study assessed the prevalence of prediabetes and also determined the 10-year risk of developing T2DM in Southern Nigerian rural communities by adopting the validated Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) tool. METHODS: 273 participants from 3 Southern rural communities aged 18 years and older were recruited in this cross-sectional study.Data in the FINDRISC stratification tool and Random Blood Glucose (RBG) variables were obtained for the participants. IBM SPSS version 21 was used to analyze the data with a level of significance put at p< 0.05. RESULTS: The participants' mean age was 54.20±16.61 years. The prevalence of prediabetes among the study participants based on RBG was 4.8% (3.8% of males and 6.6% of females, respectively).Most of the study participants (41%) had a low risk of developing T2DM which meant that 1 in 100 participants would become diabetic in a 10-year period, based on the FINDRISC scale. Amongst the male participants, the Total Diabetes Risk Score (TDRS) showed significant positive correlation with the RBG (r=0.315, p=0.001); similarly, a weak positive correlation between TDRS and RBG was noted among female participants. CONCLUSION: The propensity of developing T2DM in 10 years was indisputably low amongst rural dwellers in the Southern Nigerian rural communities studied. Further studies to compare the risk of developing T2DM between rural and urban communities would be required
