    Relación entre calidad del sueño, hábitos alimentarios y perfil antropométrico en adolescentes: Una en-cuesta transversal (Relationship between sleep quality, eating habits, and anthropometric profile in adolescents: A cross-sectional survey)
    La obesidad representa un importante factor de riesgo para diversas enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT) en los adolescentes y la población general. El propósito de este estudio fue determinar la relación entre la calidad de sueño, hábitos alimentarios y perfil antropométrico en adolescentes peruanos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal. Un total de 240 adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre 12 a 17 años participaron en el estudio. Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI) y un instrumento basado en el cuestionario de Hábitos Alimentarios de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud de Estados Unidos (NIH, por sus siglas en inglés), versión española. Se determinaron el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y la índice cintura estatura (ICE). Se utilizaron las pruebas estadísticas chi-cuadrado y Rho de Spearman (Rho). La calidad del sueño se asoció significativamente y de manera indirecta con los hábitos alimentarios (rho=-0,262; p=<0,001). Del mismo modo, se encontró correlación estadísticamente significativa e indirecta entre la calidad de sueño y el IMC de los participantes (rho=-0,174; p=0,007). También, la calidad de sueño estuvo correlacionado positivamente con el ICE (rho=0,170; p=0,018). Por otro lado, se observó que los hábitos alimentarios están correlacionados de manera indirecta con el IMC y la ICE (rho=-0,959; p=0,003) y (rho=-0,215; p=0,002, respectivamente. La proporción de hombres que presentaron calidad de sueño inadecuada, hábitos alimentarios inadecuados y exceso de peso fue superior en comparación a las mujeres. Es importante la implementación de programas de intervención de estilo de vida saludables para mejorar la calidad del sueño, hábitos alimentarios y prevenir la obesidad general y abdominal, las cuales son factores de riesgo para las ENT. Palabra clave: Adolescente, IMC, índice cintura estatura, Sueño, Hábitos alimentarios, Perú Abstract. Obesity represents an important risk factor for various noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in adolescents and the general population. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep quality, dietary habits and anthropometric profile in Peruvian adolescents. A cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 240 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years participated in the study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI) and an instrument based on the Spanish version of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Eating Habits questionnaire were used. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-height ratio (WHtR) were determined. Chi-square and Spearman's Rho (Rho) statistical tests were used. Sleep quality was significantly and indirectly associated with eating habits (rho=-0.262; p=<0.001). Similarly, a statistically significant and indirect correlation was found between sleep quality and BMI of the participants (rho=-0.174; p=0.007). Also, sleep quality was positively correlated with WHtR (rho=0.170; p=0.018). On the other hand, it was observed that eating habits are indirectly correlated with BMI and ECI (rho=-0.959; p=0.003) and (rho=-0.215; p=0.002, respectively. The proportion of men who presented inadequate sleep quality, inadequate eating habits and excess weight was higher compared to women. It is important to implement healthy lifestyle intervention programs to improve sleep quality, eating habits, and prevent general and abdominal obesity, which are risk factors for NCDs.

    Background: Nutritional status is an indicator of health status and an element of the body's resistance to intercurrent diseases, including COVID-19. Objective: To analyze the nutritional status in hospitalized older adult ICU patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and May 2020. The nutritional status of a group of 83 older adult patients with COVID-19 was determined and compared. The data were analyzed using Chi-square and t-student tests, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: Approximately 42.2% of the patients had excess body weight. Anemia (46.9% vs. 9.8%, p < 0.001) and risk of sarcopenia (45.7% vs. 33.3%, p = 0.011) were higher in women compared to men presenting COVID-19. Furthermore, urea levels were significantly lower in patients with malnutrition compared to those without malnutrition (37.9 mg/dL vs. 44.1 mg/dL, p = 0.020). Similarly, leukocyte concentration was found to be lower in COVID-19 patients with malnutrition 9.6 WBC (x10g ^g/L), p = 0.002. Finally, c-reactive protein (CRP) (37.9 mg/L, p = 0.015), oxaloacetic transaminase (OGT) (61.08 U/L, p = 0.045) and pyruvic transaminase (PGR) (37.14 U/L, p = 0.030) levels were significantly higher in patients with malnutrition compared to those without malnutrition. Conclusion: Nutritional status has a considerable effect on the clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19. Therefore, further nutritional interventions should be implemented in this regard, paying special attention to both the elderly population.

    Excess Weight and Body Fat Percentage Associated with Waist Circumference as a Cardiometabolic Risk Factor in University Students
    BACKGROUND: Obesity is one of the most important public health problems for university students. The objective of the study was to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (%BF) with waist circumference (WC) as a cardiometabolic risk factor (CMR) among university students. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2,048 students from a private university located in Lima, Peru. Anthropometric data (weight, height, %BF, and WC) were collected. Chi-square test was used. Association analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: The findings indicated that 36.9% and 61.1% of men were overweight and had higher %BF, respectively, compared to women. Women (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.17, 0.29), Peruvian students (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.39, 0.90), and students enrolled in the faculty of health sciences (OR = 0.76; 95% CI, 0.62, 0.94) are less likely to manifest CMR. Also, excess body weight (OR, 17.28; 95% CI, 13.21, 22.59) and a high %BF (OR, 4.55; 95% CI, 3.55, 5.84) were strongly associated with CMR. CONCLUSION: CMRs are a public health problem among university students. Therefore, it is important to carry out healthy lifestyle programs to promote better control and prevention, particularly among male students and those who have excess weight and body fat.

    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.

    Association Between Emotional Eating, Sociodemographic Characteristics, Physical Activity, Sleep Duration, and Mental and Physical Health in Young Adults
    Background Emotional eating (EmE) is one of the most common eating behaviors maladaptive among young adults, however, in the Peruvian context, it remains unexplored. Objective The aim of the study was to determine the association between negative EmE, sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity, sleep duration, and mental and physical health in young adults. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 400 young Peruvian adults living in three regions of Peru (coast, jungle, and highlands). An online survey was used to collect information on sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity, sleep duration, depressive symptoms, anxiety, hypertension, and negative EmE. In addition, self-reported anthropometric data were collected to calculate body mass index (BMI). Results Approximately 55.8% of women presented negative EmE. Logistic regression analysis revealed that participants aged 30-39 years were less likely to have negative EmE in both female and male gender, OR; 0.24, 95% CI; 0.08-0.66, p<0.01 and OR; 0.40, 95% CI; 0.16-0.97, p<0.05, respectively. Perform physical activity 3 to 4 times 5.22 (95% CI: 1.31-20.78), 1 to 2 times a week 5.77 (95% CI: 1.91-17.44), and never 15.18 (95% CI: 3.90-59.00) were associated with negative EmE. Moreover, sleeping less than 7 hours per day (OR; 2.26, 95% CI; 1.04-4.90), depressive symptoms (OR = 6.29, 95% CI: 1.27-31.19), anxiety (OR = 14.13, 95% CI: 2.46-80. 97, p<0.01), hypertension (OR = 7.58, 95% CI: 1.24-46.17), and BMI ≥25 (overweight/obese) (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.66-3.41) were associated with negative EmE. Conclusion The findings show that there is an association between negative EmE, sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity, sleep duration, and mental and physical health in young adults.

    Background: Body self-perception and dietary self-efficacy may represent an important factor in the prevention of excess body weight. Purpose: This study evaluated body self-perception, dietary self-efficacy, and body mass index (BMI) in the Peruvian population. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was administered to 190 men and 210 women. Each participant was shown 9 Stunkard anatomical silhouettes corresponding to BMI values. The results obtained were classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. The Dieting Self-Efficacy Scale (DIET-SE) was also applied. Chi-square statistic, Kruskal–Wallis, Student t -test, and ANOVA were used to explore differences in means and proportions. Results: Age was significantly higher in those who underestimated their weight and who were dissatisfied with their body (p = 0.000). BMI was higher in men, most were dissatisfied with their body (p< 0.05), and were more likely to underestimate their weight compared to women (p = 0.000). Those participants who were dissatisfied with their body and who underestimated their weight were more likely to have an elevated BMI compared to those who were satisfied and who did not underestimate their weight. All participants had low dietary self-efficacy (LDSE), with a little higher proportion in men compared to women (62.6% vs 61.4%). The majority (45.9%) reported little confidence to resist high-calorie food temptations. More than half of the participants reported body dissatisfaction and LDSE, this was more frequent in men compared to women. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop and implement preventive measures to improve self-perception of the body, taking into account factors such as gender, age, and eating habits.

    Psychometric evaluation and invariance of the Spanish version of the Block Fat Screener (BFS-E) in university students
    Introduction: University students constantly face a number of health challenges related to an unhealthy diet, characterized by a high intake of saturated fats. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Block Fat Screener (BFS-E) food frequency questionnaire in a university population. Methods: An observational analytical study of instrumental type was carried out in 5608 Peruvian university students. Based on the Block Fat Screener questionnaire, a back-translation and cultural adaptation process was carried out. The validity of the questionnaire was determined through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), hypothesizing a unidimensional structure. For the determination of reliability, the alpha coefficients were considered; likewise, the ω and H coefficients were used to evaluate the construct. The model explained 63% of the cumulative variance. Results: The CFA confirmed the unidimensionality of the 16-item questionnaire with appropriate goodness-of-fit indicators; therefore, which model of the Peruvian version adequately fits the observed data. The values of the reliability coefficients were higher than 0.90, with ordinal α = 0.94, ω = 0.94, and H = 0.95. Conclusion: The Spanish version of the Block Fat Screener food frequency questionnaire presents adequate psychometric properties and is therefore a valid scale to quickly measure fat intake in university students in a Latin American context.

    Association Between Nutritional Knowledge, Dietary Regimen, and Excess Body Weight in Primary School Teachers
    Introduction Peru is one of the developing countries with the highest prevalence of overweight and obesity in Latin America and Caribbean region. Primary school teachers are identified as a high-risk group for overweight and obesity. However, studies conducted in this population group are limited. This study evaluated the association between nutritional knowledge, dietary regimen, and excess body weight in primary school teachers. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that included 151 teachers from two state schools in the eastern region of Lima, Peru. The level of nutritional knowledge was assessed using a validated questionnaire. Dietary regimen was also determined. The body mass index (BMI) was determined through self-reported weight and height. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between possible risk factors with excess body weight among teachers. Results Inadequate nutritional knowledge level (AOR = 5.21, 95% CI: 1.31-20.93), being male teachers (AOR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.13-4.45), and being married (AOR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.17-5.30) were the significant predictors of excess body weight. In contrast, vegetarian teachers were less likely to have excess body weight (AOR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.47-0.97). Conclusion Future intervention programs should include improving nutritional knowledge with greater attention to male and married teachers to decrease the risk of excess body weight.
