COVID-19 has caused massive disruption at different levels. Scholars around the world have produced a significant number of studies to understand, reduce and predict the effects of this pandemic. Prediction models are crucial at this time of uncertainty, and labor indicators are key macroeconomic variables to plan the recovery of the effects of COVID-19. This study aims to model and predict the trend of the Ecuadorian labor system. The statistical analysis model applied for this study was the X-13ARIMA to predict the behavior of four indicators of the Ecuadorian labor system and establish their natural tendency by isolating the COVID-19 variable and determining the quantitative impact of the pandemic. The results show that the labor system was greatly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak; however, a deterioration was already observed in full employment and expanded underemployment. The study concludes that the pandemic altered the seasonality of the labor indicators.
Introducción. Las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT) son la principal causa de muerte en Ecuador y el mundo, y dentro de ellas la diabetes mellitus es una de las de mayor crecimiento en morbilidad y mortalidad. Objetivo. Determinar si existen diferencias entre las características clínicas antes y después de un programa de reversión de diabetes en Ecuador. Métodos. Estudio comparativo antes y después en el mismo individuo. Se realizo el seguimiento de pacientes que ingresaron voluntariamente a un programa clínico ambulatorio basado en Medicina del Estilo de Vida durante 8 semanas, se tomaron medidas al iniciar y al terminar este período, que contempló alimentación basada en plantas, ejercicio físico y apoyo psicológico. Resultados. Ocho pacientes fueron analizados entre 40 y 74 años (3 mujeres y 5 hombres) El análisis comparativo antes y después de la intervención mostraron diferencias significativas para: Peso (p= 0,007), IMC (p: 0,004), Glucosa (p= 0,04), Hemoglobina glicosilada (p= 0,007), triglicéridos (p= 0,04), urea (p= 0,004), y TGP (p= 0,023). Conclusiones. Existe una mejoría en algunas variables medidas después de haber llevado el programa de reversión “Medicina de estilo de vida” en comparación con las medidas iniciales.
