“…This fact should not be overlooked or treated superficially by the health services 18 . In its turn, obesity increases the risk of developing stroke 19 , regardless of age, as it is related to higher incidence of obstructive sleep apnea in this population.…”

Objective:to analyze the factors associated with young adults' knowledge regarding family history of stroke. Method:an analytical transversal study, with 579 young adults from state schools, with collection of sociodemographic, clinical and risk factor-related variables, analyzed using logistic regression (backward elimination). Results:a statistical association was detected between age, civil status, and classification of arterial blood pressure and abdominal circumference with knowledge of family history of stroke. In the final logistic regression model, a statistical association was observed between knowledge regarding family history of stroke and the civil status of having a partner (ORa=1.61[1.07-2.42]; p=0.023), abdominal circumference (ORa=0.98[0.96-0.99]; p=0.012) and normal arterial blood pressure (ORa=2.56[1.19-5.52]; p=0.016). Conclusion:an association was observed between socioeconomic factors and risk factors for stroke and knowledge of family history of stroke, suggesting the need for health education or even educational programs on this topic for the clientele in question.

“…According to Santiago et al (4) and Florêncio (21) , there are determinants of overweight that are associated with markers of family dimension and clinical and interpersonal questions. Thus, the multi-determination of this health condition is confirmed and we understand the need for a complex and solution-based health care network.…”

“…There is evidence of an increase in the prevalence of OW in adolescents and adults in general. Additionally, in the few studies performed with young adults, the frequency of cases of overweight was found to already affect a third of them (2)(3)(4) , a percentage that varies according to regional aspects. These differences show cultural particularities and the several determinants and conditioning factors involved in this intriguing problem that needs to be approached from different perspectives.…”

Objective: To analyze overweight in young adult students from the individual dimension of vulnerability, especially its interpersonal and subjective markers. Method: An analytical quantitative study was performed with 560 young adults from 26 schools in a capital city in Northeastern Brazil. After obtaining data to administer specifi c questionnaires, logistic regression was used to identify markers of individual vulnerability. Results: In the bivariate analysis, overweight showed a statistically signifi cant association with self-perception of health, satisfaction with body image and self-perception of overweight, the latter remaining in the fi nal regression model. Conclusion: It can be mainly concluded that self-perception of overweight is distorted when compared to one's actual body weight and, for this reason, young adults are vulnerable to dysfunctional health states. However, it was confi rmed that this health condition must be understood in an individual and contextual perspective. Key words: Overweight; Obesity; Health Vulnerability; Body Image; Young Adult. RESUMO Objetivo: analisar o excesso ponderal em adultos jovens escolares a partir da dimensão individual da vulnerabilidade, especifi camente de seus marcadores interpessoais e subjetivos. Método: delineou-se um estudo analítico, quantitativo, realizado com 560 adultos jovens de 26 escolas de uma capital do nordeste brasileiro. Após obtenção dos dados pela aplicação de questionários específi cos, utilizou-se a regressão logística para identifi cação dos marcadores de vulnerabilidade individual. Resultados: na análise bivariada, o excesso ponderal apresentou associação estatística signifi cativa com autopercepção de saúde, satisfação corporal e autopercepção de excesso ponderal, esta permanecendo no modelo fi nal da regressão. Conclusão: conclui-se, sobremaneira, que a autopercepção de excesso ponderal sofre distorções em relação à real situação corporal e por isso torna o adulto jovem vulnerável a estados disfuncionais de saúde. No entanto, ratifi ca-se que o agravo deve ser compreendido numa perspectiva individual e contextual. Descritores: Sobrepeso; Obesidade; Vulnerabilidade em Saúde; Imagem Corporal; Adulto Jovem.

“…Debido a que la obesidad infantil constituye un factor de riesgo de obesidad en adultos [57][58][59] y de enfermedades metabólicas como hipertensión arterial, dislipidemias y diabetes [60,61], problemas que disminuyen la calidad de vida e incrementan gastos de salud individual y pública, es importante disponer de un indicador para detectar su presencia en forma temprana. Si bien los tres métodos de medición evaluados pueden ser útiles para determinar obesidad, el r-CT parece ser un índice preciso y tiene la ventaja de que no varía con edad, sexo, y estado puberal [62,63].…”

ResumenIntroducción: Obesidad en la adolescencia se asocia con trastornos cardiometabólicos en la edad adulta. Es necesario contar con un índice de obesidad fácilmente aplicable para predecir riesgo cardiometabólico en adolescentes. Objetivo: Comparar la utilidad de los índices radio Cintura/Talla (r-CT), circunferencia de cintura (CC) y el índice de masa corporal (IMC) para determinar obesidad y predecir riesgos cardiometabólicos en adolescentes. Métodos: En este estudio trasversal, bajo criterios de la International Diabetes Federation (IDF) se determinó obesidad mediante tres índices, hipertensión arterial, hiperglicemia, hipertrigliceridemia y bajo HDL en 931 adolescentes mestizos ecuatorianos. La asociación de los índices de obesidad (r-CT, IMC y CC) con los factores de riesgo cardiometabólico se determinaron mediante radios de Odds ajustados y áreas bajo la curva (AUC, siglas en inglés) ROC (Característica Operativa del Receptor, siglas en inglés). Resultados: El r-CT ≥0.5 determinó mayor porcentaje de obesidad (36.6%) respecto a CC (17.4%) e IMC (6.7%). IMC ≥95 percentil se asoció significativamente con los cuatro factores de riesgo cardiometabólico, mientras que CC y r-CT se asociaron con tres de los cuatro factores. Los tres índices de obesidad determinan la concurrencia de tres o más factores de riesgo cardiometabólico con alta sensibilidad y especificidad con un AUC mayor de 0.80. Conclusiones: El IMC ≥ al percentil 95 es mejor predictor de riesgo cardiometabólico, pero no determina bien obesidad. El r-CT parece ser el indicador antropométrico más adecuado para detectar obesidad y predecir riesgo cardiometabólico en adolescentes mestizos debido a su fácil determinación y uso. Palabras clave: Obesidad, síndrome metabólico, predictores, riesgo cardiometabólico Abstract Background: Obesity in adolescence is associated with cardiometabolic problems in adulthood. It is necessary to have an easily applicable obesity index to predict cardiometabolic risk in adolescents. Objective: To compare the usefulness of waist to-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI) to determine obesity and predict cardiometabolic risks in adolescents. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, under the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL rates were determined in 931 Ecuadorian mestizo adolescents. The association of the three obesity indices with the cardiometabolic risk factors was determined by means of adjusted Odds radios and area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). Results: WHtR ≥0.5 determined the highest percentage of obesity (36.6%) with respect to WC (17.4%) and BMI (6.7%). BMI ≥95 percentile was significantly associated with the four cardiometabolic risk factors, while WC and WHtR were associated with three out of four factors. The three obesity indices determine the concurrence of three or more cardiometabolic risk factors with high sensitivity and specificity with an AUC great...
