Hábitos alimentares de adolescentes de escolas públicas de Fortaleza, CE, Brasil

El objetivo principal de esta investigacion fue conocer los habitos alimentarios de adolescentes que estudian en escuelas publicas de la ciudad de Fortaleza/CE. Se entrevisto 720 alumnos, cuya edad variaba entre los 14 y 19 anos; de doce institutos de ensenanza; con los cuales se uso un formulario estructurado. Entre los alimentos consumidos, habitualmente, se destacaron los energeticos, arroz y pan, consumidos por un 95,8% y un 85,2% de los adolescentes, respectivamente (p=0,0001). En relacion a los alimentos constructores, las carnes y el frijol son ingeridos por un 60,6% y un 75,0%, respectivamente (p=0,0001). Los alimentos reguladores como frutas y hortalizas/ hojas no son consumidos habitualmente entre los adolescentes, como nos muestra el hecho de que solo ( un 34,3%) y (un 47,6%), respectivamente, los consumen (p=0,0001 y p=0,226). Se pudo notar un desequilibrio en la ingestion de los nutrientes adecuados para la adolescencia, lo que favorece el sobrepeso y, consecuentemente, las enfermedades cronicas como diabetes mellitus.The research aimed at learning food habits of adolescents from public schools in Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.

EFICÁCIA DE INTERVENÇÕES QUE UTILIZAM O TELEFONE COMO ESTRATÉGIA PARA O CONTROLE GLICÊMICO: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DA LITERATURA

The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of telephone interventions as a strategy for glycemic control in adult Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. An integrative literature review was undertaken in April and May 2011 through surveys in the Cochrane, PubMed/Medline, Lilacs and Cinahl databases. Nine studies complied with the inclusion criteria, mainly randomized controlled clinical trials. Concerning the time period analyzed in each study, it varied from eight weeks to twelve months. 1294 patients participated in the study, being 671 randomized to telephone follow-ups and 479 to usual care. In eight studies analyzed, glycemic control was based on the levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The information found showed that the interventions are effective for glycemic control in patients who have type 2 Diabetes. Self-management was improved and possible complications of the disease were reduced. DESCRIPTORS: Diabetes mellitus, Type 2. Telephone. Intervention studies. Nursing.

Diabetes mellitus: fatores associados entre usuários da Estratégia Saúde da Família

OBJETIVO: Identificar los factores asociados a la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) en usuarios de la Estrategia Salud de la Familia (ESF) de la ciudad de Itapipoca-Ceara. METODOS: Estudio transversal, realizado en el periodo de marzo/2009 a octubre/2010, en 11 unidades basicas de salud, en las cuales fueron recolectados los datos sociodemograficos y clinicos de la muestra de 419 usuarios de esas unidades. RESULTADOS: Entre los participantes del estudio, 250 (59,7%) estaban con exceso de peso, 352 (84,0%) con obesidad central, 349 (83,3%) eran sedentarios y 225 (53,7%) no comian frutas y/o verduras diariamente. Hubo asociacion estadisticamente significativa entre las variables obesidad central y sexo (p<0,001), edad (p=0,001) y estado civil (p<0,001); y entre investigacion nutricional y escolaridad (p=0,033) y clase economica (p=0,007). CONCLUSION: Frente a los factores de riesgo modificables para DM2 identificados con mayor prevalencia se sugiere el desarrollo de intervenciones educativas para cambios en el estilo de vida de los individuos y el acompanamiento sistematico de esos cambios, objetivando reducir o retardar la aparicion de la enfermedad.

Correlação entre indicadores antropométricos e a qualidade do sono de universitários brasileiros

The current study investigated the correlation between anthropometric indicators and sleep quality among Brazilian university students using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. A cross-sectional assessment with 702 university students was conducted between March 2010 and June 2011. Results showed that cases of obesity were more frequent among students who were good sleepers. On the other hand, overweight and high cervical and abdominal circumference was most prominent among poor sleepers. Thus, apart from the damage caused by sleep disorders alone, additional risks due to the association between poor sleep quality and being overweight, central obesity, and increased cervical perimeter are highlighted.

Níveis plasmáticos de cortisol em universitários com má qualidade de sono

Aim To investigate the association between sleep quality in Brazilian university students and plasma cortisol levels. Method A cross-sectional study conducted with 688 university students assessing sociodemographic indicators, quality of sleep and cortisol levels. We used Poisson robust regression to assess the association. Results Approximately 95% and 7% of the sample showed poor sleep quality and high levels of cortisol, respectively. These lingered 16-30 minutes to fall asleeep (p = 0.030), with 65-74% efficiency (p = 0.021) and greater workload those with normal levels of cortisol (p = 0.021). The chances of a college student, with high plasma cortisol levels, to present poor sleep quality were similar to good sleepers and with no significant statistical significance (p = 0.124). Conclusion There was no statistically significant association between plasma cortisol levels of and quality of sleep in college students.
