Objectives:Determine prevalence of obesity / overweight, physical activity (PA) and
prediabetes in adult children of parents with type 2 diabetes; identify
differences according to sociodemographic variables, and describe the relationship
of obesity/overweight with fasting glucose (FG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C).
Methods:Cross-sectional study in 30 Mexican families with 53 participating adult children.
Obesity / overweight was determined with Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist
Circumference (WC) and body fat percentage (BFP); PA with the short International
Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and prediabetes with FG. Results:64% of participants presented obesity / overweight, 32% low PA, and 19%
prediabetes. Men had higher WC than women (U= 219, p= 0.03). Women showed more BFP
than men (U= 142, p <0.01). Blood glucose was related to BFP (rs= 0.336, p <
0.05), the A1C with the BMI (rs= 0.417, p <0.01), WC (rs= 0.394, p<0.01),
BFP (rs= 0.494, p<0.01) and intense PA (rs= - 0.285, p<0.05). Conclusions:High prevalence of obesity / overweight and low PA were found. The FG was related
only to BFP and A1C, in addition to BMI, WC and inversely with intense BP. It is
recommended to modify the educational strategies of nursing at a family level.
This study examined self-care behaviors and their relationship to glycemic control in low-income Mexican adults with type 2 diabetes in Southeastern Tamaulipas, México. A total of 135 patients were enrolled from 17 community health centers. The most frequent self-care behavior was medication management (80%), and the least frequent self-care behavior was self blood glucose monitoring (7%). All the patients demonstrated
Introducción: Los estilos de vida se definen cómo el conjunto de características personales y comportamiento diario en el hogar, trabajo, actividades cotidianas, dieta, actividad física, entre otros. Según la OMS, los estilos de vida saludable previenen la aparición de ECNT. Objetivo: Identificar el estilo de vida y su asociación con las variables sociodemográficas de los estudiantes de enfermería de la FET-UAT. Metodología: El diseño descriptivo transversal, correlacional, con una muestra al azar de 134 estudiantes. El estilo de vida se midió con el cuestionario FANTÁSTICO. Resultados: La confiabilidad del instrumento fue de .77. Los estudiantes en su mayoría tienen un estilo de vida de “buen trabajo, estás en buen camino” (46.3%). En la asociación entre el estilo de vida con la edad, sexo, turno y periodo académico de los estudiantes se encontró mayor afectación a las dimensiones de familia, alcohol y tabaco, siendo los hombres y los mayores de 21 años quien consumen más alcohol y es el turno vespertino quien más fuma. Conclusiones: Se determinó que el estilo de vida en su mayoría es “bueno”, pero los estudiantes mostraron mayor consumo de alcohol y tabaco y tener mala relación con la familia.
