Sociodemographic characterization, eating habits and physical activity of elementary students of a public educational institution of the urban sector
No full textObjetivo: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo principal caracterizar
los datos sociodemográficos, hábitos alimentarios y
actividad física de estudiantes de primaria en una institución
pública urbana de la ciudad de Barranquilla-Colombia.
Métodos y materiales: Se diseñó un estudio descriptivotransversal
con enfoque cuantitativo, en 77 niños y niñas de
primero a quinto de primaria de una institución educativa ubicada
en el sector urbano durante el período de enero a junio
del 2017. Los datos se obtuvieron a través de una encuesta,
diseñada por los investigadores y avalada por expertos en
diversas áreas donde se encontraban consignadas las variables
a estudiar. Los datos se analizaron con ayudad de una
matriz previamente realizada para su análisis.
Resultados: Se evidenció que el sexo predominante (59,7%)
fue el femenino, con una mayor prevalencia (40,2%) en edades
entre los 8 y 9 años de los cuales un alto porcentaje
pertenecían al estrato 3 y 4 (50,7%), el 87% estaba vinculado
a algún régimen. De los niños y niñas afiliados, el mayor
porcentaje (50,8%) era del régimen subsidiado. Los niños
y niñas consumen regularmente durante la semana, frutas
(75,3%) y verduras (61%). El 22% van al colegio sin desayunar.
El 76,6% come golosinas y/o caramelos varias veces
al día. Se observó además que el mayor porcentaje (84,4%)
de niños y niñas realizaban algún tipo de actividad física con
una dedicación de tiempo de 1-2 días a la semana (49,2%)
el tipo de actividad física que más desempeñaban en mayor
grado era el fútbol (49,2%).
Conclusiones: La cultura de hábitos saludables es fundamental
impartirse desde la niñez para lograr un desarrollo
integral en el escolar; que apoyen la disminución de indicadores
de padecimiento de enfermedades cardiovasculares
en la etapa adulta.Objetive: The aim of the present study was to characterize the
sociodemographic data, eating habits and physical activity of
elementary students in a school in Barranquilla-Colombia.
Methods and materials: A descriptive-cross-sectional study
with a quantitative approach was designed in 77 boys and
girls from first to fifth grade of a school in Barranquilla-Colombia
during the period from January to June 2017. The data
was obtained through a survey, designed by the researchers
where the variables to be studied were recorded. The data
was analyzed in the Excel 2010 program.
Results: It was evidenced that the predominant sex (59.7%)
was female, with a higher prevalence (40.2%) in ages between
8 and 9 years of age, of which a high percentage belonged
to stratum 3 and 4 (50,7%). 87% was linked to some regime.
Of the children affiliated, the highest percentage (50.8%) was
of the subsidized regime. Children consume regularly during
the week, fruits (75.3%) and vegetables (61%). 22% went to
school without breakfast; 76.6% ate sweets and/or candies
several times a day. It was observed that the highest percentage
(84.4%) of boys and girls performed some type of
physical activity with a time commitment of 1-2 days a week
(49.2%), the type of physical activity that they performed the
most was soccer (49.2%).
Conclusions: The culture of healthy habits is fundamental
to impart from childhood to achieve a comprehensive development
in the child. This will decrease the development of
cardiovascular diseases in the adult stage
Non-HDL cholesterol is better than LDL-c at predicting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors clustering, even in subjects with near-to-normal triglycerides: A report from a Venezuelan population
No full textBackground: Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-c) has
emerged as an important tool in primary prevention of atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), especially among those at high risk. The
main objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of non-HDL-c
for the coexistence aggregation of multiple ASCVD risk factors and compare
this with LDL-c in general subjects with normal or near normal triglycerides from
Maracaibo city in Venezuela.
Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a randomized
multistage sampling. 2026 subjects were selected for this study, all were adults
≥18 years old of both genders and inhabitants of Maracaibo city, Venezuela. A
complete history and physical medical assessment was performed. A
multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the odds ratio
(CI95%) for the coexistence of multiple risk factors for ASCVD.
Results: The median (p25-p75) of non-HDL-c was 143 mg/dL (114-174
mg/dL). 52.1% (n=1056) of the sample were women, with a median of 144
mg/dL (115-174 mg/dL) among women and 143 mg/dL (114-17 4mg/dL)
among men; p=0.740. Individuals ≥50 years old, smokers, those with
hypertension, obesity, diabetes, high waist circumference and elevated hs-C
Reactive Protein, all had higher levels of non-HDL-c. A lower median was observed among those <30 years of age with elevated physical activity levels in
their leisure time. Non-HDL-c between 130-159 mg/dL (OR=2.44; CI
95%=1.48-4.02; p<0.001) and ≥160 mg/dL (OR=3.28; CI 95%=1.72-6.23;
p<0.001) was associated with greater risk of coexistent multiple risk factors for
ASCVD, albeit LDL-c was not significant in the multivariate model.
Conclusions: Elevated non-HDL-c was associated with conglomeration of
multiple risk factors for ASCVD. This suggests evaluation of non-HDL-c may be
of better utility in primary care for early identification of subjects for high risk of
ASCVD. Future research might focus on the influence of non-HDL-c in
cardiovascular mortality

No full textSe presentan resultados de estudio sobre preferencias de consumo de productos de panadería y repostería en diferentes localidades de la ciudad de Barranquilla. Se desarrollaron formulaciones de los productos de mayor preferencia. Estos son pan molde (P) y ponqué (PQ) adicionados con mango, guayaba y/o ahuyama en polvo en sustitución parcial de la harina de trigo, como fuente natural de sabor, vitaminas y fibra dietaria. Los prototipos de P y PQ se sometieron a pruebas de calidad microbiológica, fisicoquímica y sensorial a través de una prueba afectiva de nivel de agrado, usando escala hedónica de 5 puntos. La mayor aceptabilidad sensorial se logró para el pan tajado con ahuyama-mango y el ponqué con ahuyama, basados principalmente en los atributos de apariencia y sabor (p<0.05). Así mismo, los prototipos obtenidos presentaron un aporte importante de fibra dietaria, con 20% de ingesta adecuada para el pan y el 11% para el ponqué.A study on consumption preferences of bakery products produced in different locations in Barranquilla -Colombia. Formulations of the most preferred products were done: sandwich-bread (P) and butter cake (PQ) added with mango, guava and pumpkin powder in partial replacement of wheat flour, as a natural source of flavor, vitamins and dietary fiber. The prototypes of P and PQ were subjected to microbiological, physicochemical and sensorial affective test, using a 5-point hedonic scale. The highest sensory acceptability was achieved for bread with pumpkin-mango and cake with pumpkin, based mainly on appearance and taste attributes (p<0.05). Likewise, the prototypes presented an important contribution of dietary fiber, with 20% of adequate intake for the bread and 11% for the cake

program in schoolchildren from 8 to 10 years of age in an
educational institution in the city of Barranquilla.
Materials and Methods: we worked in an educational
institution in Barranquilla with a sample of 56 children.
The intervention was applied during the four-month period,
the children underwent a physical exercise program
with a frequency of three times a week, with a duration
of 60 minutes, In addition, a scale, a tape measure and a
stadiometer were used to obtain the data of the sociodemographic
variables that are: weight, height and body
mass index (BMI).
Results: Regarding the abdominal perimeter, in the control
group, at the beginning of the intervention it had a
value of 66.6 ± 7.6 cm and in the re-evaluation, it decreased
to 64.6 ± 7.8 cm; these same values were kept constant in
the control group, that is, they were not altered. For the
IMC before the application of the program in the experimental
group, a figure of 17.8 ± 2.5 Kg / m2 is shown,
which decreases after the intervention to 17.1 ± 2.4 Kg /
m2; such values were kept constant in the control group.
Conclusions: the results show that physical activity programs
in schools and more in early ages contribute to the
child’s generation of healthy lifestyles

Segmentación automática de glioblastoma cerebral usando una técnica computacional inteligente
No full textWe propose an intelligent computational technique for the
image segmentation of a type IV brain tumor, identified as
multiform glioblastoma (MGB), which is present in multi-layer
computed tomography images. This technique consists of
3 stages developed in the three-dimensional domain. They
are: pre-processing, segmentation and validation. During the
validation stage, the Dice coefficient (Dc) is considered in
order to compare the segmentations of the MGB, obtained
automatically, with the segmentations of the MGB generated
manually, by a neuro-oncologist. The combination of parameters
linked to the highest Dc, allows to establish the optimal
parameters of each of the computational algorithms that
make up the proposed nonlinear technique. The obtained results
allow to report a Dc higher than 0.88, validating a good
correlation between the manual segmentations and those
produced by the computational technique developed.Proponemos una técnica computacional inteligente para la
segmentación de imágenes de un tumor cerebral tipo IV,
identificado como glioblastoma multiforme (MGB), que está
presente en imágenes de tomografía computarizada de múltiples
capas. Esta técnica consiste en 3 etapas desarrolladas
en el dominio tridimensional. Ellos son: preprocesamiento,
segmentación y validación. Durante la etapa de validación,
se considera el coeficiente de dados (Dc) para comparar las
segmentaciones del MGB, obtenidas automáticamente, con
las segmentaciones del MGB generado manualmente, por
un neurooncólogo. La combinación de parámetros vinculados
a la mayor Dc permite establecer los parámetros óptimos
de cada uno de los algoritmos computacionales que conforman
la técnica no lineal propuesta. Los resultados obtenidos
permiten informar una Dc superior a 0,88, validando una
buena correlación entre las segmentaciones manuales y las
producidas por la técnica computacional desarrollada
