“… 23 These results could be due to the fact that a large percentage of this population chooses healthy diets, particularly vegetarian diets. 35 Vegetarian diets are based on the abundant consumption of minimally processed plant-based foods 38 and play a fundamental role in the prevention of non-communicable diseases such as some types of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus; in addition, plant-based diets favor a better quality of life. 6 Possible justification for the health benefits of vegetarian diets may be due to the fact that they are characterized by a high consumption of healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.…”

Background Most of the studies involving members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church (SDA) have been conducted in the United States and Canada. Aim The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between dietary self-efficacy and religiosity among SDA members in Peru. Methods In this online cross-sectional study, 403 participants aged 18 to 59 years selected by convenience were included. The data collected included sociodemographic information. In addition, the Dietary Self-Efficacy Scale (DIET-SE) and the Duke University Index of Religion (DUREL) were administered. A correlation analysis was performed and multiple linear regression was used to examine the association between religiosity, dietary self-efficacy, and sociodemographic variables. Results Dietary self-efficacy was significantly negatively correlated with all dimensions of religiosity, ie, organized religious activities (ORA), non-organized religious activities (NORA), and intrinsic religiosity (IR). In addition, participants had high dietary self-efficacy and religiosity. Conclusion Although religiosity dimensions did not significantly predict dietary self-efficacy, however, the non-organized religious activities dimension was the strongest predictor of dietary self-efficacy among Adventists in Peru. The present study will serve as a basis for future research to further investigate the potential positive effect of religiosity on the improvement a healthy diet and possible changes in the physical and mental health of the population.

“…También, se preguntó a los participantes «¿cuál es su régimen dietético?», de acuerdo a sus respuestas, se les clasificaron en vegetarianos y no-vegetarianos. Se consideraron vegetarianos a aquellos que autoinformaron ser vegano, lacto-ovo-vegetariano, mientras que los novegetarianos eran aquellos que reportaron consumir carnes rojas, aves, pescado y huevos más de una vez a la semana (Saintila et al, 2021). Del mismo modo, se recolectó información sobre número de comidas al día (menos de 3 y ≥3), consumo de suplementos nutricionales (consume, no consume), nivel de actividad física (leve, moderado e intenso) (Sylvester et al, 2017) y frecuencia de actividad física (1-3 veces a la semana, 4-6 veces a la semana y todos los días).…”

El rendimiento físico está condicionado por diferentes factores como aspectos sociodemográficos, hábitos de vida o la dieta. El propósito de estudio fue determinar la asociación entre las características sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida y frecuencia de consumo alimentario con al rendimiento físico en corredores amateurs. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 197 corredores amateurs peruanos entre los meses enero y marzo de 2022. Se analizaron características sociodemográficas (edad, sexo, entre otros). También, se evaluaron hábitos de vida (consumo de tabaco y alcohol, duración del sueño, entre otros). El consumo de alimentos fue evaluado mediante un cuestionario de frecuencia alimentaria y el rendimiento físico, mediante el test de Cooper. El análisis de las relaciones se realizó mediante los coeficientes de correlación de Spearman. Los valores de p<0,05 fueron considerados estadísticamente significativos. El 58,1% de las mujeres y el 67,7% de aquellos que tenían entre 18 a 39 años presentaron rendimiento físico alto. El consumo de tabaco (rho =0,230, p<0,01), horas de sueño (rho = 0,197, p<0,01), suplemento nutricional (rho = 0,336, p<0,05), el sexo (rho = 0,152, p<0,05) y el índice de masa corporal (IMC) (rho =0,272, p<0,05) se correlacionaron significativamente y de manera directa con el rendimiento físico. Los hallazgos de este estudio sugieren que las intervenciones destinadas a mejorar el rendimiento físico deben considerar estos factores asociados para obtener resultados eficaces, particularmente en aquellos con mayor edad.

Physical performance is conditioned by different factors such as sociodemographic aspects, lifestyle habits, or diet. The purpose of the study was to determine the association between sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and frequency of food consumption with physical performance in amateur runners. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 197 Peruvian amateur runners between January and March 2022. Sociodemographic characteristics such as age, sex, among others, were analyzed. Life habits were also evaluated (tobacco and alcohol consumption, sleep duration, among others). Food consumption was evaluated by means of a food frequency questionnaire and physical performance through the Cooper test. The analysis of the relationships was performed using Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Approximately, 58.1% of the women and 67.7% between 18 and 39 years of age presented high physical performance. Smoking (rho =0.230, p<0.01), hours of sleep (rho = 0.197, p<0.01), nutritional supplement (rho = 0.336, p<0.05), sex (rho = 0.152, p<0.05), and body mass index (BMI) (rho =0.272, p<0.05) were significantly and directly correlated with physical performance. The findings of this study suggest that interventions aimed at improving physical performance should consider these associated factors for effective outcomes, particularly in those with older age. Keywords: Physical performance, Alcohol Drinking, Sleep, Body Mass Index, Smoking.

“…On the contrary, both in this age group and in university students, what is evidenced is a high consumption of added sugars, processed meats, and saturated fats higher than the daily intake recommended by the WHO [ 10 ]. Adequate consumption of minimally processed plant foods plays an important role in the prevention of various chronic conditions [ 11 ].…”

Background. Obesity is one of the most important public health problems for university students. The objective of the study was to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (%BF) with waist circumference (WC) as a cardiometabolic risk factor (CMR) among university students. Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2,048 students from a private university located in Lima, Peru. Anthropometric data (weight, height, %BF, and WC) were collected. Chi-square test was used. Association analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression. Results. The findings indicated that 36.9% and 61.1% of men were overweight and had higher %BF, respectively, compared to women. Women (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.17, 0.29), Peruvian students (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.39, 0.90), and students enrolled in the faculty of health sciences (OR = 0.76; 95% CI, 0.62, 0.94) are less likely to manifest CMR. Also, excess body weight (OR, 17.28; 95% CI, 13.21, 22.59) and a high %BF (OR, 4.55; 95% CI, 3.55, 5.84) were strongly associated with CMR. Conclusion. CMRs are a public health problem among university students. Therefore, it is important to carry out healthy lifestyle programs to promote better control and prevention, particularly among male students and those who have excess weight and body fat.
