Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre el haber practicado submarinismo durante el servicio militar y el desarrollo de trastornos neurocognitivos en adultos mayores. Materiales y métodos: Estudio analítico retrospectivo, proviene del análisis de la base de datos del estudio: Fragilidad y dependencia funcional en adultos mayores, realizado entre 2010-2015 realizado por el personal del servicio de geriatría del Centro Médico Naval del Perú, en niveles asistenciales ambulatorios. En cuanto a la asociación se usó Chi2, p<0,05 e IC 95 %, para el modelo de regresión, se utilizó un modelo de Poisson. Resultados: Se analizaron en total 1020 participantes. 322 (42,42 %) de los participantes estuvieron en el rango de 71-80 años de edad. 240 (31,62 %) presentaban trastornos neurocognitivos. Los factores asociados a los trastornos neurocognitivos fueron los siguientes: el rango de edad entre 71-80 años de edad (RP=1,69; IC95 %: 1,12-2,54), enfermedad cerebro vascular (RP=1,48; IC95 %: 1,01-2,23) y especialidad de submarinismo (RP=2,36; IC95 %: 1,64-3,39). Tener grado militar superior se asoció con menor riesgo (RP=0,62; IC95 %: 0,43-0,89). Conclusiones: Los pacientes que han practicado el submarinismo tienen un mayor riesgo de padecer trastorno neurocognitivo, sin embargo, se requieren estudios prospectivos adicionales para corroborar dicha asociación.
Introduction:The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in young adults has increased considerably in the past decade. Evidence shows that lifestyle modification programs such as the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) are effective in improving health behaviors and lowering the risk of diabetes. DPP follow-up studies have found that a lack of retention can reduce the effectiveness of such programs. Adding a positive social reinforcement platform is a novel strategy to provide educational resources to facilitate lifestyle changes. However, evidence regarding the effect of positive social reinforcement as a theory-based strategy to prolong retention within the DPP is limited. The current study protocol aims to evaluate the efficacy of the online Prevent Diabetes® Program, including a Positive Inter@ctiOn forum on time-to-attrition from the DPP among college students at high risk for T2DM. Methods: This study protocol is a phase 3, multicenter, superiority, controlled trial conducted in West Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Four hundred eigclthty college students will be centrally randomized in a cluster-wise 1:1 ratio to the online Prevent Diabetes® Program integrated with the Positive Inter@ctiOn forum or to the online Prevent Diabetes® Program alone for 12 months. The primary outcome is time-to-attrition from the DPP. Discussion: Successful completion of the study will provide valuable information on whether implementing theory-based health behavior strategies can improve the retention of participants in the online DPP and contribute to enhancing DPP effectiveness.
