    Las enfermedades mentales representan uno de los mayores problemas de salud pública. El consumo de alimentos ricos en antioxidantes como, frutas y verduras puede disminuir los factores de riesgo. Objetivo. Analizar la ingesta dietética y el riesgo de enfermedades mentales en adultos peruanos. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 393 adultos peruanos, provenientes de las tres regiones del país (costa, sierra y selva). Los datos sociodemográficos, antropométricos se obtuvieron por auto reporte mediante una ficha de registro y el riesgo de enfermedades mentales se determinó con el Cuestionario de Salud General-12 (GHQ-12). Se analizaron los datos mediante el software estadístico IBM SPSS, versión 26. Se utilizó la prueba Chi-cuadrado, considerando un nivel de significancia del 5 %. Resultados. Los participantes que informaron riesgo y presencia de enfermedades mentales reportaron un consumo inadecuado de frutas, verduras y grasas saludables. El consumo adecuado de cereales integrales, frutas y verduras fue significativamente mayor en las mujeres (p<0,05). Sin embargo, más de la mitad de las mujeres demostró estar en riesgo de enfermedades mentales respecto a los hombres (p<0,001). Conclusiones. La ingesta adecuada de alimentos saludables podría resultar beneficiosa en la reducción de los riesgos de las enfermedades mentales en este grupo de población.

    Crises negatively affect the economy of a country, increasing financial risk, as they affect work activities and the well-being of the population. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of financial well-being in the relationship between personal well-being and financial threats. A predictive cross-sectional study was conducted. The variables analyzed were personal well-being, financial threats, and financial well-being. A total of 416 Peruvian adults from the three regions of Peru participated. The mean age was M = 35.36, SD = 8.84, with a range of 19–62 years. To represent the statistical mediation model, a structural equation model (SEM) was used. The analysis showed that the variables were significantly related ( p < 0.001). The theoretical model indicated a perfect mediation, also obtaining a good fit, χ 2 (168) = 394.3, CFI = 0.931, RMSEA = 0.057, SRMR = 0.062. The study showed that personal well-being serves as a basis for promoting financial well-being and this contributes to the reduction of financial threats.

    The pandemic has affected almost all areas of people's lives and the way food is prepared is no exception. Food safety has been hit the hardest in the COVID-19 era. The aim of this paper was to investigate the attitudes and hygienic practices and food handling during social isolation by COVID-19 in Peruvian homes. A cross-sectional study was conducted that included 538 participants over 18 years of age from all regions of Peru, administering an online survey of 15 questions. The sample was selected by nonprobability sampling for convenience. The data were analysed using the statistical software IBM SPSS version 24 and the Chi-square test was used. A significance level of 5% was considered. Women represented the highest percentage of the sample (73.0%). 87.7% of the participants considered correct handling of food at home important during social isolation. Whereas 49.7% of the sample reported that they began to emphasize good handling practices when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Hand washing practices were more frequent in participants with a higher level of education (p<0.001). In general, the participants demonstrated a positive attitude and were aware of the role of hygienic practices when handling food.

    BACKGROUND: Most of the studies involving members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church (SDA) have been conducted in the United States and Canada. AIM: The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between dietary self-efficacy and religiosity among SDA members in Peru. METHODS: In this online cross-sectional study, 403 participants aged 18 to 59 years selected by convenience were included. The data collected included sociodemographic information. In addition, the Dietary Self-Efficacy Scale (DIET-SE) and the Duke University Index of Religion (DUREL) were administered. A correlation analysis was performed and multiple linear regression was used to examine the association between religiosity, dietary self-efficacy, and sociodemographic variables. RESULTS: Dietary self-efficacy was significantly negatively correlated with all dimensions of religiosity, ie, organized religious activities (ORA), non-organized religious activities (NORA), and intrinsic religiosity (IR). In addition, participants had high dietary self-efficacy and religiosity. CONCLUSION: Although religiosity dimensions did not significantly predict dietary self-efficacy, however, the non-organized religious activities dimension was the strongest predictor of dietary self-efficacy among Adventists in Peru. The present study will serve as a basis for future research to further investigate the potential positive effect of religiosity on the improvement a healthy diet and possible changes in the physical and mental health of the population.

    Introducción: El escenario actual de la pandemia por COVID-19 y el aumento constante de consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados representan una amenaza para la salud pública. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la percepción sobre el etiquetado frontal de alimentos, tendencia de compra y consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados durante el aislamiento social en la población peruana. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal utilizando una encuesta en línea. Se reclutaron a 330 participantes de 18 a 59 años de todas las regiones del Perú. Se utilizó un cuestionario validado para evaluar la percepción del etiquetado frontal de alimentos, compra y consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados. Los datos fueron analizados mediante el software estadístico IBM SPSS versión 27, utilizando la prueba Chi-cuadrado. Se consideró un nivel de significancia del 5%. Resultados: El 77,9% y el 68,7% demostraron una percepción positiva sobre la implementación de los octógonos de advertencia de nutrientes y el modelo/diseño de la etiqueta, respectivamente. El 63,3% estuvo de acuerdo o totalmente de acuerdo que los octógonos influyen en la compra de los alimentos. La compra de los alimentos ultraprocesados durante el confinamiento por COVID-19 se produjo en un 67,5% en las mujeres. Las mujeres eran las que informaron haber leído casi siempre o siempre el etiquetado frontal de alimentos en una mayor proporción en comparación a los hombres (31,5% vs. 23,3%). La mayor proporción de los participantes informaron un aumento en el consumo de alimentos ricos en grasas saturadas (90%) y azúcares (87%) durante el confinamiento. Conclusiones: Los participantes tuvieron una percepción positiva sobre la implementación de la norma del etiquetado de advertencia nutricional. Sin embargo, tanto la compra como el consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados se aumentaron. Se sugiere implementar programas educativos para promover la disminución gradual del consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados durante la pandemia por COVID-19.

    Objective: Apart from overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, footprint alterations constitute one of the main health concerns for parents. The objective of the study was to evaluate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and plantar posture in Peruvian children and adolescents. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 212 children and adolescents aged between 5 to 18 years. Weight and height were determined. In addition, the body mass index for age (BMI/Age) was calculated according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). Likewise, the plantar footprint was obtained and classified into flat foot and pes cavus using the arch index (AI). Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 27 statistical software. Results: The highest proportion of women presented alterations in the plantar footprint compared to men, these differences were significant (p <0.05). There was a higher proportion of men who were overweight compared to women (43.2% vs. 32.7). Finally, no statistically significant correlation was found between the BMI/Age and the plantar footprint of the participants (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study do not show a relationship between footprint and BMI/Age.

    Introduction and objective: A sedentary lifestyle and obesity are important risk factors in university students. Physical activity is one of the strategies to prevent these health problems. The correlation between physical activity, body fat percentage (% BF) and body mass index (BMI) was determined in university students from Tarapoto, San Martin, Perú. Materials and methods: A non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational study was carried out. The non-probabilistic sample was made up of 192 students from the faculties of health sciences, business sciences and engineering and architecture of the Universidad Peruana Unión (Subsidiary: Tarapoto), San Martin, Peru. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used. Likewise, the evaluation of% BF and BMI was carried out following the protocol of the International Society for the development of kineanthropometry (ISAK). Results: It was found that there is a statistically significant and indirect correlation between physical activity and there is a statistically significant difference in the percentage of body fat and BMI according to gender (p <,001). However, no difference was found in physical activity according to gender (p= ,808). Conclusions: A correlation was found between physical activity with% BF and BMI in university students. These results show the need to promote nutritional education and health promotion programs to improve physical activity and prevent obesity in university students.

    Background: Research often reports on the anthropometric and biochemical profile of vegetarians and non-vegetarians, yet few have compared nutritional knowledge in both populations. This cross-sectional study compared nutritional knowledge, anthropometric profile and total cholesterol in vegetarians and non-vegetarians. In addition, the motivations for choosing a vegetarian diet were analyzed. Methods: A registry card and a questionnaire were administered to evaluate sociodemographic, anthropometric, total cholesterol, nutritional knowledge and motivation data of the vegetarians. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and t-student tests, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: No significant difference was found in the level of nutritional knowledge of the two groups. In addition, a sufficient score was not observed in either group (>80 %). Vegetarians had significantly lower average weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) compared to non-vegetarians (59.948 ± 8,923 kg vs. 64.362 ± 12.272 kg, p=0.017), (23.22 ± 3.026 kg/m2 vs. 25.152 ± 3,373 kg/m2, p<0.01) and (78.435 ± 10.883 cm vs. 86.207 ± 13.662 cm, p<0.01), respectively. Total cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in vegetarians (166.307 ± 26.139 mg/dL vs. 189.138 ± 38.451 mg/dL, p<0.01). The "health benefits" were the main motivations to opt for vegetarianism (32.3%). Conclusions: Vegetarians presented a better anthropometric profile and lower levels of total cholesterol. However, there were no differences regarding knowledge levels. The highest proportion of vegetarian’s report choosing the vegetarian lifestyle for health reasons.

    INTRODUCTION: Commonly, burnout in nurses has influenced their performance. The contribution of this study allows to broaden the knowledge of the performance-burnout relationship and identifies the work performance in nurses as a precursor of burnout. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to examine the factors of work performance of nursing staff that influence burnout. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used and a total of 340 nurses from the department of Puno in Peru participated. Demographic, job performance, and burnout data were collected. RESULTS: Job performance factors, such as counterproductive behavior, positively influenced burnout, while task and context performance negatively influenced burnout. These variables explained 28.54% of the variance of burnout among nurses. CONCLUSION: Job performance factors have a significant impact on burnout. To reduce burnout, workforce resources that motivate, engage, and monitor nurse performance must be identified individually or organizationally. There is a need to develop training that promotes the improvement of emotional skills for better performance and the reduction of professional burnout.
