This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of MHO according to its most widespread definition, which is based on metabolic syndrome (MS), and to explore further metabolic indicators such as Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, and C-reactive protein levels, together with metabolic health predictors in a sample of adolescents attending a pediatric obesity clinic. Methods: Data from 487 adolescents categorized as overweight (52.6% females, 88.1% white), with a mean body mass index (BMI) z-score of 2.74 (±1.07 standard deviation [SD]), and a mean age of 14.4 years (±2.2 SD) were cross-sectionally analyzed. From this original sample, a subsample of 176 adolescents underwent a second assessment at 12 (±6 SD) months for longitudinal analysis. Results: From the 487 adolescents originally analyzed, 200 (41.1%) were categorized as MHO, but only 93 (19.1%) had none of the metabolic indicators considered in this study. According to longitudinal analysis, 30 of the 68 adolescents (44%) categorized as MHO at baseline became non-MHO over time. BMI z-score was the best predictor of metabolic health both in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. Increased BMI z-score reduced the odds of being categorized as MHO (odds ratio [OR], 0.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.4–0.9; P=.008) and increased the odds of having hypertension (OR 2.1, 95% CI: 1.4–3.3, P=0.001), insulin resistance (OR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.4–4.1, P=0.001), or a proinflammatory state (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1–1.3, P=0.002). Conclusion: Diagnosis of MHO should not be exclusively based on MS parameters, and other metabolic indicators should be considered. Adolescents categorized as overweight should participate in weight-management lifestyle interventions regardless of their metabolic health phenotype., AVS is supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/130193/2017)

Traballo Fin de Máster Universitario en Profesorado de Educación Secundaria Obrigatoria e Bacharelato, Formación Profesional e Ensinanzas de Idiomas. Curso 2021-2022 Nos últimos anos son moitas as iniciativas postas en práctica, con máis ou menos éxito, co obxectivo de fomentar o emprendemento entre a poboación española e, especialmente, entre as mozas e mozos. Trátase dunha importante fonte de riqueza para a sociedade e a economía dun país, dado que co emprendemento xorden novas empresas, conséguese fomentar a innovación e a creatividade, supón a creación de postos de traballo e o desenvolvemento de novos produtos e servizos. Neste estudo analízase o grao de adquisición da competencia de emprendemento do alumnado dos ciclos de Técnico en Xestión Administrativa e Técnico Superior en Administración e Finanzas do IES Macías o Namorado de Padrón; para tal fin elaborouse un cuestionario de Forms composto por 23 items e que foi trasladado ao alumnado obxecto da presente investigación. Os resultados obtidos amosan que, aínda que nestas titulacións se está a traballar co alumnado a competencia de emprendemento, os/as discentes non amosan unha clara intención emprendedora, decantándose maioritariamente por outras alternativas laborais; ademais advírtense certos prexuízos cara as condicións de vida dos traballadores por conta propia. Tamén se tivo en conta o xénero como un factor condicionante da vontade emprendedora do alumnado e do éxito ou viabilidade dos proxectos de emprendemento implantados En los últimos años son muchas las iniciativas puestas en práctica, con más o menos éxito, con el objetivo de fomentar el emprendimiento entre la población española y, especialmente, entre los/as jóvenes. Se trata de una importante fuente de riqueza para la sociedad y la economía de un país, dado que con el emprendimiento surgen nuevas empresas, se consigue fomentar la innovación y la creatividad, supone la creación de puestos de trabajo y el desarrollo de nuevos productos y servicios. En este estudio se analiza el grado de adquisición de la competencia de emprendimiento del alumnado de los ciclos de Técnico en Gestión Administrativa y Técnico Superior en Administración y Finanzas del IES Macías o Namorado de Padrón; para tal fin se elaboró un cuestionario de Forms compuesto por 23 items y que fue trasladado al alumnado objeto de la presente investigación. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, aunque en estas titulaciones se está trabajando con el alumnado la competencia de emprendimiento, los/as discentes no muestran una clara intención emprendedora, decantándose mayoritariamente por otras alternativas laborales; además se advierten ciertos prejuicios hacia las condiciones de vida de los trabajadores por cuenta propia. También se tuvo en cuenta el género como un factor condicionante de la voluntad emprendedora del alumnado y del éxito o viabilidad de los proyectos de emprendimiento implementados In recent years, many initiatives have been put into practice, with more or less success, with the aim of promoting entrepreneurship among the Spanish population and, especially, among young people. It is an important source of wealth for the society and economy of a country, given that with entrepreneurship new companies arise, innovation and creativity are fostered, it results in the creation of jobs and the development of new products and services. This study analyzes the degree of acquisition of the entrepreneurial competence of the students of the cycles of Technician in Administrative Management and Higher Technician in Administration and Finance of the IES Macías or Namorado de Padrón; for this purpose, a Forms questionnaire composed of 23 items was developed and transferred to the students who are the object of this investigation. The results obtained show that, although in these degrees the entrepreneurial competence is being worked on with the students, they do not show a clear entrepreneurial intention, mostly opting for other work alternatives; in addition, there are certain prejudices towards the living conditions of self-employed workers. Gender was also taken into account as a determining factor of the entrepreneurial will of the students and the success or viability of the entrepreneurial projects implemented
