Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a growing global health concern, closely linked to modifiable lifestyle factors. Emerging evidence suggests that religious principles can shape behaviors that promote physical and mental well-being. Objective: This study explores how adherence to a lifestyle rooted in Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs may influence the risk of developing T2DM. Methods: This study is of a non-experimental quantitative design with a cross-sectional and explanatory scope. The sample consisted of 303 participants (adults who had been active Seventh-Day Adventist Church, SDA, members for the past 3 years), selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Adventist Lifestyle questionnaire (eight dimensions) and the FINDRISC scale. The non-parametric statistics, Rho Spearman, and ordinal logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The results showed that lifestyle levels based on religious principles significantly predicted the risk of developing T2DM (X2 = 100.34, p < 0.05). The model explained approximately 31% of the variance in T2DM risk (R2 = 0.31), indicating a moderate association between lifestyle and risk. Specifically, individuals with lower (less healthy) lifestyle scores had a significantly higher likelihood of being classified in higher risk categories for T2DM. It was also observed that there is a significant relationship between the risk of developing T2DM and the following dimensions: Rest (rho = −0.16, p < 0.05), exercise (rho = −0.13, p < 0.05), temperance (rho = −0.19, p < 0.05), nutrition (rho = −0.66, p < 0.05) and spirituality (rho = −0.57, p < 0.05). Conclusions: A healthier lifestyle promoted by religious principles, such as the SDA, reduces the risk of developing T2DM. A stronger correlation was perceived between nutrition and spirituality since these practices are related to a low risk of developing the disease.

Background: The Job Demands and Resources (JD-R) model is used to examine predictors of well-being, work engagement, and individual or organizational outcomes. According to the model, work engagement and communication skills play a mediating role between work-family conflict and resilience to job satisfaction in nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted considering 431 Peruvian nurses of mean age ( M = 40.31 years; SD = 10.94) ranging from 22 to 68 years working in public hospitals in the Lima region. Data were collected using a self-reported form of the Job Satisfaction Scale, communication skills, work engagement, work-family conflict, and resilience. The theoretical model was evaluated using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: A theoretical model with adequate fit was obtained [χ 2 (2) = 6.0, P < .001, CFI = 0.995, RMSEA = 0.068, SRMR = 0.015]. Results indicated an inverse relationship between work-family conflict with communication skills (β = −.24, P < .001) and work engagement (β = −.10, P = .003). Likewise, resilience had an influence on communication skills (β = .55, P < .001) and work engagement (β = .33, P < .001). In addition, the model explains 71% of job satisfaction. Also, the results indicate the influence of work-family conflict and resilience through the mediating role of work engagement and work-family conflict on job satisfaction. Conclusions: The model confirmed that work engagement and communication skills are valid moderators to mitigate work-family conflict and strengthen resilience that favors job satisfaction in nurses.

"Introducción: el cuestionario Feedback in Medical Education (FEEDME-Provider) es un instrumento que mide la interacción entre el estudiante o residente de medicina con el médico que le brinda el feedback.Objetivos: el objetivo de este trabajo es traducir, adaptar culturalmente el cuestionario FEEDME-Provider al español latinoamericano, evaluar su consistencia interna y la validez de contenido y del constructo estructural.Métodos: se realizó un estudio analítico observacional de tipo instrumental en 139 estudiantes de medicina. La validez de la escala se determinó mediante el coeficiente V de Aiken y sus intervalos de confianza del 95 %. Además, se realizaron pruebas de análisis factorial y confiabilidad.Resultados: todos los valores del coeficiente V de Aiken fueron estadísticamente significativos (V > 0,70) con valores del límite inferior del IC 95 % apropiados. La asimetría y curtosis de los ítems fueron inferiores a ± 1,5. En el análisis factorial exploratorio se evidenció la existencia de 3 factores, los cuales corresponden con la estructura teórica de la escala original. Todos estos presentaron valores de saturación > 0,30. Sin embargo, el 1 el 3 se eliminaron por no corresponder teóricamente con su factor. Respecto a la confiabilidad de la escala total y sus factores, el coeficiente α de Cronbach es superior a 0,80, que indica que una escala presenta consistencia interna. Conclusiones: la adecuada traducción y adaptación cultural del contenido de los ítems produjo consistentes propiedades psicométricas (confiabilidad, validez de contenido y de constructo estructural) de las puntuaciones de la Escala de FEEDME-Proveedor en una muestra de estudiantes peruanos de medicina humana."

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.

<ns3:p> Introduction Arterial hypertension affects around 19.4% of Peruvians over 15 years old, constituting a major public health issue. Recent evidence highlights the gut microbiome’s role in regulating blood pressure through bioactive metabolites that influence inflammation and metabolism. This study aims to characterize the gut microbiota of hypertensive adults from three Peruvian regions, contributing to the understanding of microbial influences on hypertension. Objective To analyze the composition and functionality of the gut microbiota in hypertensive and normotensive adults from different Peruvian regions, considering age, body mass index (BMI), and geographical location. Methods An observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted with 84 adults (46 hypertensive and 38 normotensive) from nine regions of Peru. Fecal samples underwent metagenomic sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene (V3–V4 region). Alpha and beta diversity were evaluated using the Shannon index, UniFrac distances, and multivariate analyses. Microbial functional pathways were examined to identify potential metabolic differences between groups. Results The dominant phyla in all groups were Bacillota and Bacteroidota. At the genus level, <ns3:italic>Streptococcus</ns3:italic> was associated with hypertensive patients with BMI ≥25, while <ns3:italic>Alistipes</ns3:italic> appeared only in normotensive individuals with BMI <25. Alpha diversity was greater in hypertensive participants under 50 years and with BMI <25, while lower diversity was seen in normotensive adults over 50 and with BMI ≥25. Beta diversity showed partial clustering by hypertension and age, with regional overlap. Functional profiles were similar among groups, mainly involving carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid metabolism, though BMI and age modulated these patterns. Conclusions Gut microbiota composition and diversity in Peruvian adults are influenced by hypertension, age, BMI, and region. Despite comparable functional profiles, environmental and nutritional factors may have a stronger impact than hypertension alone, offering insight for region-specific prevention and treatment strategies. </ns3:p>

Introduction: Snakebite envenoming is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a neglected tropical disease. Currently, Bothrops snake venoms are being studied intensively, but there is little knowledge about Bothrops roedingeri venom. Objectives: To biochemically characterize B. roedingeri total venom and evaluate its myotoxic, edematogenic, and hemorrhagic activity. Materials and methods: We characterized B. roedingeri venom enzymatic activity by determining the phospholipase A2 and the proteolytic and fibrinogenolytic action using SDSPAGE electrophoresis while we characterized its venom toxicity by determining the minimum hemorrhagic dose, the minimum edema dose, and the local and systemic myotoxic effects. Results: Bothrops roedingeri venom showed a PLA2 activity of 3.45 ± 0.11 nmoles/min, proteolytic activity of 0.145 ± 0.009 nmoles/min, and a fibrinogen coagulation index of 6.67 ± 1.33 seconds. On the other hand, it produced an minimum hemorrhagic dose of 24.5 μg, an minimum edema dose of 15.6 μg, and a pronounced local myotoxic effect evidenced by the elevation of plasma creatine kinase levels after intramuscular inoculation. The venom showed no systemic myotoxicity. Conclusions: Bothrops roedingeri venom has local hemorrhagic, edematogenic, and myotoxic activity. Enzymatically, it has high PLA2 activity, which would be responsible for the myotoxic and edematogenic effects. It also has proteolytic activity, which could affect coagulation given its ability to degrade fibrinogen, and it causes bleeding through the metalloproteases.

Purpose: The study aimed to determine the association between family support and coping strategies of people diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: The study was analytical and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 500 participants who were selected by non-probabilistic and snowball sampling and included residents of both sexes who belonged to the city of Lima, with a diagnosis of COVID-19, who lived with relatives, and who accepted to participate in the research. For data collection, the scales "family support" and "Coping and Adaptation Process-Coping Adaptation Processing Scale (CAPS)" were used. The technique used was the survey through the home visit and the questionnaire instrument. To measure the relationship of the study variables, binary logistic regression was chosen, considering coping strategies as the dependent variable and socio-demographic data and family support as independent variables. Results: Of the 500 participants, 50.4% were women, and 49.6% were men. The results revealed that most participants presented a high capacity for coping strategies and high perceived family support (97.2% and 81%, respectively). In the bivariate analysis, socio-demographic aspects and family support and their dimensions were related to high or low capacity for coping strategies. Significant differences were verified between marital status (p=0.026), having children (p=0.037), family support (p=0.000), and its dimensions with coping strategies. Finally, the multivariate analysis found that people with COVID-19 who perceived high family support were 33.74 times (95% CI: 7266-156,739) more likely to have a high capacity for coping strategies. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to promote the development of parental and family support skills in the face of the health emergency caused by COVID-19.

= 1,183). Data were collected during the year 2020, between April 01 and June 30 in Spain and between July 13 and September 26, in the other countries studied using a self-administered online survey designed for the assessment of sociodemographic, employment, physical activity, health status, and dietary habits changes. Most participants (61.6%), mainly those from Spain, remained constant, without improving or worsening their pattern of food consumption. Among those who changed, a pattern of better eating choices prevailed (22.7%) in comparison with those who changed toward less healthy choices (15.7%). Argentina and Brazil showed the highest proportion of changes toward a healthier pattern of food consumption. Peruvians and Mexicans were less likely to make healthy changes in food consumption (OR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.4-0.6 and OR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.4-0.8, respectively), when compared to Argentinians. Most respondents did not change their pattern of meal consumption, but those who did reduced their consumption of main meals and increased intake of small meals and snacks. Although most participants affirmed to be doing physical activity at home, about one-half reported perception of weight gain. Individuals with alterations in sleep pattern (either by increasing or decreasing sleep time) were more likely to change their diets to a healthier pattern. In contrast, individuals with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and those who reported feeling anxious were more likely to perform changes to a less healthy eating pattern (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.2-2.3 and OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.1-1.4, respectively). In conclusion, although most participants remained constant in their eating habits, lifestyle changes and anxiety feelings were reported. Among those who changed patterns of food consumption, healthier choices prevailed, with differences between countries. However, there were alterations in the distribution of meals, with higher consumption of snacks and small meals. These results can be used to guide policies to prevent deleterious consequences that may affect the incidence of chronic diseases.

Abstract Introduction: Research on religiosity and healthy behaviors has been conducted mainly in developed countries; however, the Latin American context remains unexplored. This study examined the association between religiosity and healthy behaviors in members of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) church in different regions of Peru. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between June and November 2022. The sample included 767 members of the SDA Church. Information was collected on sociodemographic characteristics and healthy behaviors such as physical activity, adequate sleep, among others. The Duke University Religion Index (DUREL) was used to measure religiosity. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between DUREL subscales and healthy behaviors. Women represented 59.7% ( n = 458) of the sample. Results: Higher scores on the religiosity subscales (organized religiosity [ORA], non-ORA, and intrinsic religiosity [IR]) were associated with >20 years of baptism in the SDA Church, receiving a pastoral visit ≥3 times during the past year, performing physical activity 3 to 4 times and ≥5 times/week, sleeping 7 to 9 h/day, attend training on healthy eating, healthy lifestyle seminars, and on 8 health practices promoted by the SDA Church. High IR was less likely in men. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that religiosity has a strong association with healthy behaviors, and that this relationship suggests that religiosity could be considered as a predictor of healthy behaviors.

The aim of the study was to design and validate a research motivation scale for Peruvian university students (MoINV-U). Instrumental design study where a scale of 16 items distributed in two factors (willingness and interest) was designed and validated. A total of 2,249 university students (59.2% women) participated in the study. To analyze the evidence of content-based validity, Aiken’s V coefficient was used; for construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was used, and reliability was studied through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The items received a favorable evaluation (Aiken’s V &gt; 0.70). The goodness-of-fit indices were adequate (CFI = 0.959, TLI = 0.950 and RMSEA = 0.080), likewise, the correlation between factor 1 and 2 was significant ( p &lt; 0.05), evidence of validity was obtained based on the relationship with other variables with measures of academic self-efficacy and academic procrastination and the reliability was acceptable (α = 0.87; 95% CI = 0.86–0.88). The MoINV-U scale is a tool that presents evidence of validity and reliability for the sample of Peruvian university students.
