Item type:Publicación, Excess Weight and Body Fat Percentage Associated with Waist Circumference as a Cardiometabolic Risk Factor in University Students(2022-01-05) ;Nuñez-Leyva, Roberto E.; ; ; 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.Citas (OpenAlex): 20metric-badges.view 3 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento
Item type:Publicación, Sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and frequency of food consumption associated with physical performance in amateur runners(Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica, 2022-09-28); ; ; El rendimiento físico está condicionado por diferentes factores como aspectos sociodemográficos, hábitos de vida o la dieta. El propósito de estudio fue determinar la asociación entre las características sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida y frecuencia de consumo alimentario con al rendimiento físico en corredores amateurs. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 197 corredores amateurs peruanos entre los meses enero y marzo de 2022. Se analizaron características sociodemográficas (edad, sexo, entre otros). También, se evaluaron hábitos de vida (consumo de tabaco y alcohol, duración del sueño, entre otros). El consumo de alimentos fue evaluado mediante un cuestionario de frecuencia alimentaria y el rendimiento físico, mediante el test de Cooper. El análisis de las relaciones se realizó mediante los coeficientes de correlación de Spearman. Los valores de p<0,05 fueron considerados estadísticamente significativos. El 58,1% de las mujeres y el 67,7% de aquellos que tenían entre 18 a 39 años presentaron rendimiento físico alto. El consumo de tabaco (rho =0,230, p<0,01), horas de sueño (rho = 0,197, p<0,01), suplemento nutricional (rho = 0,336, p<0,05), el sexo (rho = 0,152, p<0,05) y el índice de masa corporal (IMC) (rho =0,272, p<0,05) se correlacionaron significativamente y de manera directa con el rendimiento físico. Los hallazgos de este estudio sugieren que las intervenciones destinadas a mejorar el rendimiento físico deben considerar estos factores asociados para obtener resultados eficaces, particularmente en aquellos con mayor edad.

Physical performance is conditioned by different factors such as sociodemographic aspects, lifestyle habits, or diet. The purpose of the study was to determine the association between sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and frequency of food consumption with physical performance in amateur runners. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 197 Peruvian amateur runners between January and March 2022. Sociodemographic characteristics such as age, sex, among others, were analyzed. Life habits were also evaluated (tobacco and alcohol consumption, sleep duration, among others). Food consumption was evaluated by means of a food frequency questionnaire and physical performance through the Cooper test. The analysis of the relationships was performed using Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Approximately, 58.1% of the women and 67.7% between 18 and 39 years of age presented high physical performance. Smoking (rho =0.230, p<0.01), hours of sleep (rho = 0.197, p<0.01), nutritional supplement (rho = 0.336, p<0.05), sex (rho = 0.152, p<0.05), and body mass index (BMI) (rho =0.272, p<0.05) were significantly and directly correlated with physical performance. The findings of this study suggest that interventions aimed at improving physical performance should consider these associated factors for effective outcomes, particularly in those with older age. Keywords: Physical performance, Alcohol Drinking, Sleep, Body Mass Index, Smoking.Citas (OpenAlex): 3metric-badges.view 5 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento
Item type:Publicación, Nutritional knowledge, anthropometric profile, total cholesterol and motivations in vegetarians and non-vegetarians(2021-03-10); ; ; ; White, MichaelBackground: 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.Citas (OpenAlex): 9metric-badges.view 5 - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por suconfiguración de consentimiento
Item type:Publicación, Health-Related Quality of Life, Blood Pressure, and Biochemical and Anthropometric Profile in Vegetarians and Nonvegetarians(2020-07-07); ; ; ;White, MichaelSeveral studies have been carried out which mainly focus on the analysis of the lipid profile in vegetarians and nonvegetarians. However, few studies have been undertaken in this population oriented to quality of life and health. This study aimed to compare health-related quality of life, blood pressure, and biochemical and anthropometric profile in vegetarians and nonvegetarians. The study included 149 participants out of an initial sample of 162: 62 vegetarians and 87 nonvegetarians. Health-related quality of life was assessed with the SF-12 Health Questionnaire version 2 and was related with the lipid profile, glucose, blood pressure, anthropometric measures, and sociodemographic characteristics. Vegetarians presented better Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), as well as higher LDL levels. No significant differences in HDL and TG concentrations were found. Serum glucose concentrations were significantly lower among vegetarians. Nonvegetarian males had higher diastolic pressure levels. Vegetarian women had significantly higher levels of systolic pressure. As for the physical health and mental health components of quality of life, no significant differences were found in vegetarian and nonvegetarian women and men. In conclusion, vegetarians presented a better anthropometric profile, lower glycaemia, and higher LDL levels but no significant differences in health-related quality of life compared with nonvegetarians.Citas (OpenAlex): 36metric-badges.view 1
