Determinantes individuales, sociales y ambientales del sobrepeso y la obesidad adolescente en Chile

Abstract

(-7 pp.). Participation in school sporting activities reduces the likelihood of being overweight only for students of middle and low SES (-5,5 pp.). For adolescents of high SES, the distance between their school and the nearest fast food restaurant decreases the likelihood of being overweight (-4.7 pp. per km.). Conclusions:The determinants of overweight differ by SES. Public policy design should consider socioeconomic inequalities that characterize the Chilean reality. (Rev Med Chile 2015; 143: 598-605)

Prevalence And Factors Associated With Hypertriglyceridemic Waist In Colombian Elderly.

“…Both prediabetes and diabetes are considered major risk factors for cardiovascular disease and their prevalence has been strongly associated with the HTGW phenotype (37,38); even in healthy subjects it has been demonstrated how the HTGW phenotype has been related to the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis (30). The presence of hyperglycemia leads chronically to the development of insulin resistance, the centerpiece of the pathogenesis in type 2 diabetes, which is established by the imbalance between the demands of insulin and its secretion, which, together with the increase in blood lipids, promote endothelial damage by increasing the thickness of the intima media in the arterial walls, a predictor of cardiovascular disease and its final outcome (39). Additionally, since diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease and brings with it high medical costs in its treatment (28), the recent association found between the presence of the HTGW phenotype and chronic kidney disease is striking (31).…”

La Epidemia De La Obesidad en España: La Retórica De Su Discurso Y Riesgos Potenciales

“…Finalmente, al poner el énfasis en la persona se obvia los factores no sólo genéticos, sino también socioeconómicos y culturales que determinan el sobrepeso y la obesidad. Diferentes estudios muestran la existencia de asociación entre factores socioeconómicos, culturales y obesidad (AZAR et al, 2015;BAUM;RUHM, 2009;MARÍN et al, 2010;ORTIZ et al, 2006).
