El síndrome de Down (SD) es una de las patologías genéticas más comunes que alteran el cuerpo humano desde un aspecto neuronal hasta un aspecto cardio-metabólico. Es una enfermedad que en resumen produce una alteración de los lípidos, azúcares y proteínas en el organismo, por lo que su afectación es multiorgánica. El diseño de esta revisión se basa en la idea de que la dieta y el estilo de vida, junto con el ejercicio físico, pueden alterar positivamente los efectos de la enfermedad en el cuerpo, por lo que el objetivo de la revisión es buscar si existe una relación entre el estilo de vida saludable y una mejora en la calidad de vida de las personas con SD. Como Método se ha utilizado la revisión bibliográfica de artículos, casos clínicos y estudios científicos originales relacionados con la dieta, el ejercicio y el estilo de vida en individuos afectados por el SD, tomando como criterio de inclusión los que mencionaban nutrición, ejercicio físico y SD, y como principal criterio de exclusión, aquellos artículos que no mencionaban ninguno de estos factores o no los relacionaban entre sí. Esta revisión ha mostrado resultados opuestos, desde estudios que demuestran que no existe el rigor científico suficiente para declarar que el estilo de vida puede influir en el SD, hasta estudios que, en su mayoría, muestran lo contrario, con mejoras en la salud de los participantes, lo que reduce los factores de riesgo que están asociados a disminuir la esperanza de vida de estos individuos.

As atividades desenvolvidas pelos profissionais de enfermagem propiciam exposições aos riscos ocupacionais e aos desgastes, que se refletem no processo saúde-doença. O presente estudo visa avaliar o estilo de vida e a autoestima de profissionais de enfermagem hospitalar, por meio de um estudo transversal com 289 funcionários de um hospital de Minas Gerais. Assim, foi possível verificar que a maioria deles era do sexo feminino, com a faixa etária entre 30 a 39 anos, casada e com renda de 1.501 a 3.000 reais mensais, apresentando autoestima média (68,18%) e bom estilo de vida (43,71%). Diante dos resultados, os domínios: comportamento, introspecção e trabalho tiveram maiores alterações, e, na avaliação da confiabilidade dos instrumentos, constatou-se que há consistência interna entre os itens dos instrumentos (0,77 e 0,78). Além disso, identificou-se a necessidade de melhorias no estilo de vida desses trabalhadores, assim como para a promoção de ações que favoreçam uma autoestima adequada.

Resumo Fundamento: As doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), também conhecidas como doenças crônicas de longa duração, são consideradas a principal causa de morte e incapacidade em todo o mundo, e os seis pilares da medicina do estilo de vida (nutrição, exercício, controle de tóxicos, manejo do estresse, saúde do sono e conexão social) desempenham um papel importante na gestão holística da sua prevenção e tratamento. Além disso, as diretrizes médicas são os documentos mais aceitos com recomendações para o manejo das DCNT. Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a ausência de pilares de estilo de vida nas principais diretrizes médicas brasileiras sobre as DCNT e identificar evidências na literatura que possam justificar sua inclusão nos documentos. Método: As diretrizes brasileiras foram selecionadas de acordo com as causas de morte mais relevantes no Brasil, informadas pelo Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade publicado pelo Ministério da Saúde em 2019. Os periódicos foram selecionados na biblioteca PUBMED de acordo com a doença e os pilares do estilo de vida não mencionados. Resultados: Causas relevantes de mortes no Brasil são o infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM), o diabetes mellitus (DM) e as doenças pulmonares obstrutivas crônicas (DPOC). Foram identificadas seis diretrizes relacionadas a essas DCNT e todas abordam aspectos do estilo de vida, mas apenas uma, referente à prevenção cardiovascular, destaca todos os seis pilares. Apesar disso, uma pesquisa bibliográfica envolvendo mais de 50 artigos mostrou que há evidências de que todos os pilares podem ajudar no controle de cada uma dessas DCNT. Conclusão: Raramente os seis pilares do estilo de vida são contemplados nas diretrizes brasileiras para IAM, DM e DPOC. A revisão da literatura identificou evidências de todos os pilares do estilo de vida para oferecer uma abordagem holística para a gestão e prevenção das DCNT.

La alergia alimentaria es muy común en todo el mundo y se ha convertido en un importante problema de salud pública, pues 220 millones de personas la padecen. La alergia alimentaria se ha observado de manera desproporcionada en personas de países industrializados u occidentales, y se considera previamente con predominio en la población pediátrica versus adultos. Sin embargo, el crecimiento exponencial actual de la población adulta y adultos mayores, especialmente en los países occidentales, y los cambios ambientales y de estilo de vida, han cambiado profundamente la epidemiología de la alergia alimentaria, con un aumento creciente incluso en edades avanzadas. Los alimentos que representan mayor gravedad y repercusión clínica son: cacahuate, nuez, pescado, mariscos, huevo, proteína de leche de vaca, trigo, soya y semillas. Aunque algunos tipos de alergia alimentaria (leche de vaca y huevo) pueden desaparecer, la alergia al cacahuete y la nuez de árbol pueden persistir hasta la edad adulta. El control o curación de la alergia a la proteína de leche de vaca es gradual a lo largo de la niñez y la adolescencia. A pesar del predominio de la alergia al pescado, mariscos, cacahuates y nueces de árbol en la mayoría de las reacciones en adultos, la forma más común de alergia alimentaria mediada por IgE en es el síndrome de alergia oral o síndrome de alergia al polen-alimento.

En este artículo se analizan algunos procesos socioterritoriales contemporáneos en la región de Aysén, Patagonia chilena, con especial énfasis en el Valle Exploradores. Se estima que aquellos procesos pueden ser interpretados como una forma de gentrificación rural y “verde”. Bajo esta categoría se quiere dar cuenta de una multiplicidad de procesos interdependientes tales como el desplazamiento de la población local vinculada al incremento en el valor del suelo, una explosión en la oferta inmobiliaria, nuevos patrones de consumo y prácticas socioterritoriales, así como el surgimiento de discursos que posicionarían a esta región como un enclave de la conservación y preservación de la naturaleza bajo el eslogan “Reserva de Vida”. Desde este marco, el trabajo pretende contribuir con una lectura crítica a los discursos despolitizados de conservación resaltando los impactos socioterritoriales que traen consigo estos renovados procesos de “eco-colonización”, característicos de una nueva geografía del capital. Metodológicamente, se propone una plataforma mixta basada en observaciones realizadas en terreno, entrevistas semiestructuradas a informantes clave, análisis bibliográfico y levantamiento de información en el Conservador de Bienes Raíces.

Objetivou-se avaliar as variações comportamentais, estilo de vida e indicador nutricional de uma comunidade acadêmica antes e durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Estudo transversal, epidemiológico, com 1655 integrantes da Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Minas Gerais, de ambos os sexos e idades entre 17 a 72 anos. Via Google Forms, aplicou-se o questionário adaptado do “ConVid: Pesquisa de Comportamentos”, e a versão curta do IPAQ. Utilizou-se o teste de McNemar para comparação dos indicadores entre estilo de vida antes e durante a pandemia (p < 0,05) e regressão logística binária para associação com diagnóstico da COVID-19. Observou-se que durante a pandemia houve uma prevalência de aumento (p < 0,001) de indivíduos que não atingiram as recomendações para caminhada (42,8% para 80,6%); atividade física moderada (74,3% para 80,6%) e vigorosa (64,6% para 71,8%). Além disso, aumento no tempo de uso considerado elevado (p < 0,001), para televisão (2,4% para 12,7%) e computador/tablet (58,1% para 81,8%). O consumo de álcool passou de 64,1% para 64,9% (p < 0,001), enquanto o uso de cigarros foi de 5,7% para 7,8% (p < 0,001). A classificação do indicador nutricional também demonstrou mudanças significativas (p < 0,001), o percentual de obesidade (7,7% para 11,1%) e sobrepeso (22,6% para 28,1%). O risco de contaminação para COVID-19 foi maior entre aqueles menos ativos (OR = 1,34; IC95%: 1,04 – 1,64). Os resultados demonstraram diminuição do nível de atividade física, aumento do tempo sedentário, piora no estilo de vida e aumento do excesso de peso dos estudantes e servidores de uma comunidade acadêmica, devido às consequências impostas pelo período pandêmico, elevando fatores de risco à saúde.

RESUMO Este artigo aborda os usos do hatha-yoga como parte da oferta do Serviço de Orientação ao Exercício (SOE), vinculado à Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (Semus), da cidade de Vitória (ES).

Conclui-se que as estruturas e a reflexividade fazem parte do repertório de ação para que as pessoas consigam acionar projetos de vida que os tirem de situações de insegurança e risco social.

Introducción. La alteración de la autopercepción del estado nutricional (EN) es la discordancia entre el EN objetivo según índice de masa corporal (IMC), y la percepción del individuo. Los programas que se implementan en Chile con el objetivo de dar respuesta a las estrategias de promoción y prevención de salud, así como la vigilancia nutricional de la población bajo control del sistema público, utilizan el IMC como indicador del EN objetivo. Este estudio analizó la asociación entre la alteración de la autopercepción del EN el estilo y la calidad de vida en Chile. Metodología. Estudio transversal analítico de datos secundarios de 5.483 participantes de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (ENS) 2016-2017 de ≥15 años. El EN fue determinado por IMC, y la autopercepción, la calidad y los estilos de vida se determinaron mediante auto reporte. Resultados. Se incluyeron 5.483 participantes representativo de 14,449,868 [95% IC 13.540.101-15.359.635] ≥15 años residentes en Chile. Se observó que el 51% de la población presenta discordancia del EN, 47% [95%CI 46.96 – 47.04] subestima su EN y 4.1% [95%CI 3.3-5.1] lo sobreestima. Quienes tuvieron un EN percibido y objetivo concordante, presentaron mejor percepción de la calidad de vida y mejor cumplimiento de algunas de las recomendaciones de las Guías Alimentarias Basadas en Alimentos (GABAs). Ser hombre > 30 años y tener < 8 años de escolaridad fueron los factores más influyentes en la discordancia de la autopercepción del EN. Conclusión. La discordancia del EN está asociada a un mayor riesgo de mala calidad de vida e incumplimiento de las GABAs en la población chilena de ≥ 15 años. Estos resultados sugieren la necesidad de considerar la autopercepción del EN como un determinante del comportamiento en salud en los programas y políticas públicas.

La prevalencia de obesidad depende de factores biopsicosociales y ambientales, y es un factor de riesgo para enfermedades no transmisibles y transmisibles como COVID-19. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre características sociodemográficas y del estilo de vida y el desarrollo de obesidad y sus comorbilidades metabólicas (CM). Estudio observacional-poblacional-transversal en 306 individuos >18 años de San Luis Argentina. Se indagaron edad, sexo, nivel de instrucción y socioeconómico (NI y NSE: bajo/medio/alto), nivel de actividad física (METs/día), ingesta energética (Cal/día), obesidad (IMC>30kg/m2) y auto-reporte de CM (diabetes, hipertensión arterial [HTA], dislipemias y cardiopatías). Se ajustaron modelos de regresión logística múltiple incluyendo presencia de obesidad y CM como utcome, y características sociodemográficas y del estilo de vida como covariables. El 26,8% presentó al menos una enfermedad (17,3% obesidad, 3% diabetes, 11% HTA, 3,3% dislipidemia, 13% cardiopatía). Tener NI medio aumentó la chance de presentar cardiopatía, respecto al alto (OR 5,3;p=0,03). Un bajo NI se asoció con obesidad (OR 3,58;p=0,04), y sus CM (p

Introducción: En el actual artículo, se pretende llamar la atención hacia la conservación de posturas rígidas o inserias ante los hechos medioambientales asociados con la pandemia, y motivar al cambio del modo de entender al mundo. Han ocurrido hechos en etapas anteriores a la pandemia, ha habido sucesos durante la pandemia y acontecimientos sucedidos después de la pandemia (si es que esta peste se termina algún día). Objetivo: Este ejercicio de producción intelectual en el confinamiento, desde el confinamiento, o por causa del confinamiento, es una experiencia novedosa o atípica que busca que como seres humanos sociales y pensantes se dedique un tiempo a reflexionar acerca de condiciones deficitarias y vulnerables. Reflexión: Es necesario buscar soluciones adecuadas y aportarlas a la colectividad a la cual se pertenece, en el contexto de una posible cosmovisión emergente. Conclusión: La pandemia del Covid-19 ha estremecido las bases de la vida a los seres humanos, en el mundo, sin reparos ni predilecciones. Conviene ralentizar el ritmo de vida de los individuos y de las sociedades, en búsqueda de tiempos y espacios para la reflexión tocante a pensamientos nuevos que ayuden a tener otra visión del mundo.

El 14 de noviembre se conmemora el “Día mundial de la diabetes”, fecha de nacimiento de Frederick Grant Banting, uno de los investigadores que aisló y utilizó la insulina en 1922, haciendo el reconocimiento a los trabajos previos de Nicolae Paulesco. La diabetes mellitus es uno de los principales problemas endocrinometabólicos en el mundo y es una patología en ascenso que es conocida desde la antigüedad, con la consideración de que, actualmente, es en los países en vías de desarrollo donde más se incrementa, lo que constituye un grave problema de salud pública en nuestra región y en Colombia. Además, por su carácter incurable y por la afectación que produce en los sistemas vascular, nervioso periférico e inmunológico, la gravedad en un paciente individual que la padezca es alta.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia and is related to significant morbidity, mortality and costs. In spite of relevant advances in the prevention of embolic events and rhythm control, little has been done to reduce its prevalence, progression and impact since it increases with aging as well as with common risk factors such as alcohol intake, tobacco use and stress as well as with arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, sleep apnea, kidney failure, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, ischemic heart disease and stroke, among other important comorbidities. Fortunately, new evidence suggests that lifestyle modifications and adequate risk factors and comorbidities control could be effective in primary and secondary AF prevention, especially in its paroxysmal forms. This is why a multidisciplinary approach integrating lifestyle modifications, risk factors and comorbidities control is necessary for conjunction with rhythm or rate control and anticoagulation. Unfortunately, that holistic approach strategy is not considered, is scarcely studied or is subtilized in general clinical practice. The present statement's objectives are to: a) Review the relationship between habits, risk factors and illnesses with AF, b) Review the individual and common physiopathology mechanisms of each one of those conditions that may lead to AF, c) Review the effect of control of habits, risk factors and co-morbidities on the control and impact of AF, d) Supply guidelines and recommendations to start multidisciplinary and integrative AF treatment.

Physical activity (PA) involves any activation of the locomotor system that generates an energetic expense above baseline. On the other hand, physical exercise (PE) implicates a recurrent practice sustained in time to obtain benefits at an anatomical, physiological and/or emotional level. Currently, many research studies on cognitive neuroscience have focused on these practices since evidence indicates that people who exercise regularly show a more developed and/or preserved cognitive health. Furthermore, many designs also implement interventions based on PA and exercise as experimental treatments. Evidence showed a relationship between PA and PE and the modulation of several cognitive functions, including episodic memory and attention. The aim of this review was to explore a specific area of cognition, executive functions, which involves the processing of information with high cognitive demand, where the supervision and control of behavior are executed to provide an adaptive response to the requirements of the environment. While this construct integrates many sub-sets, a division into three fundamental nodes was proposed: working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility. For this purpose, articles retrieved from Science Direct, PubMed, and SciELO were used, along with secondary sources extracted from the selected articles. A search was conducted using the keywords: physical activity and/or aerobic exercise and executive functions; 33 articles met the inclusion criteria. Three sections were formed in relation to the three sub-constructs addressed. The research covered a broad age range, from children and adolescents to young and old adults. For the three executive functions nodes explored, moderate PA was the most frequently type of practice employed either had a beneficial modulator effect. Regarding working memory, in some cases exercise was also complemented with an extra cognitive load related to the exercise under evaluation (e.g., tactical game variations), showing the most favorable effects, or matching the effects of exercise alone. No long-term training was implemented. In the studies on the inhibitory capacity, the modulatory effect duration was analyzed: as the time gap between the end of treatment and time of evaluation was major, intense demand exercises became the most effective condition. The characteristics of the individual were emphasized: the subjects with the best aerobic capacity showed the best behavioral performances. Respect to flexibility, in some cases PA with higher cognitive load achieved better results, while others found no differences. Finally, both the participant's sport experience and their aerobic capacity were a relevant factor: the more developed levels of aerobic capacity or experience in sports that had varying contexts (e.g., ball games) were associated with better behavioral performance. PA and PE include versatile, low-cost, easy-to-implement interventions with minimal or no adverse effects. Adapted to the needs and capacities of each person, they are useful tools in the development of strategies that pursue the goal of enhance and/or conserve the cognitive function of different populations. For this reason, future research could further explore the phenomena involved in modulation, both of executive functions and of other areas of cognition, through physically activating interventions.

Introduction: In chronic diseases, QoL depends on several factors such as the type and duration of the disease, its treatment and side effects, the severity of symptoms, medication effects, patient age, limitations and self-care capacity. In chronic kidney disease it has also become a measure of health outcome. Objective: assess the association between QoL and socioeconomic, lifestyle and clinical factors of patients on HD. Methods: This is a cross-sectional epidemiological census, carried out among 1,024 patients on hemodialysis from all hemodialysis units at the metropolitan region in the Espirito Santo's, Brazil. Sociodemographic, lifestyle and clinical characteristics data were used. QoL was assessed using the Short-Form health Survey-36 (SF-36). Data were analysed by multiple linear regression. Results: The best QoL was represented by mental health (72.16) and the worst QoL by the physical aspect (26.78). After multiple linear regression, predictors of QoL were identified, with emphasis on males, a predictor of better QoL for 5 of the 8 domains and the summaries of the physical and mental components. Education, associated with 5 domains, gives greater reference to income. Physical activity was a predictor of 7 of the 8 QoL domains and the summary of the physical component. Among the clinical variables, the number of complications is associated with 7 of the 8 domains and summaries of the physical and mental components. Conclusion: Male sex is highlighted as a predictor of better physical and mental health and elderly people with better mental health, despite the impairment in physical health. The absence of physical activity is associated with worse physical and mental health. Clinically, having 3 or more intradialytic complications was associated with worse physical and mental QoL.

Introduction: Serum vitamin D levels depend on sunlight, diet, and other factors. Objective: We aimed to determine serum vitamin D levels and evaluate their relationship with anthropometric indicators and lifestyle habits in apparently healthy volunteers. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study (n=75), socio-demographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle habit-related data were collected. Serum vitamin D levels were determined with high performance liquid chromatography, food intake was measured by semiquantitative frequency and nutritional status was assessed by anthropometry. Chi-square test and also principal component analysis were used to analyze the relationship between some variables and vitamin D status. Spearman's test was used to determine correlations between quantitative variables. Results: 73% were women and 61% belonged to medium socio-economic level. Median vitamin D intake was 137 (83.1-227.3) IU/day. Based on body mass index (BMI), 44% individuals had overweight/obesity. The 68% exhibited deficient/insufficient vitamin D levels (Hypovitaminosis D). BMI classification and waist circumference (CW) were not related with vitamin D status; however, activities with higher sun exposure were highly related (p = 0.013). Sun exposure time explained variation in component 2 (16.60%), where most of the individuals with normal level were grouped. Sun exposure time was positively correlated with vitamin D status (r = 0.263; p = 0.023). Discussion: Excess weight and abdominal obesity are not always associated with hypovitaminosis D. Conclusions: The majority of individuals showed hypovitaminosis D but their status was not related with anthropometric indicators. A Sun exposure time was the only factor positively correlated with vitamin D status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resultados e Discussão: Foi verificado alterações alimentares e no estilo de vida como, aumento de peso sendo avaliado pelo Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC) com diferença estatisticamente significativa entre antes e após a pandemia, diminuição da prática de atividade física, elevação do consumo de álcool de forma mais pontual nos homens e aumento do consumo alimentar nas mulheres. Conclusão: Em decorrência da pandemia de covid-19 foram constatadas diversas alterações no consumo alimentar e estilo de vida devido as medidas restritivas ocasionados pelo isolamento social, sendo estas prejudiciais à saúde.

Objetivo: Determinar los comportamientos del estilo de vida en docentes y administrativos de una universidad pública de Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Investigación cuantitativa descriptiva de corte trasversal. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 178 docentes y administrativos, mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple. Se aplicó un cuestionario auto diligenciado compuesto por una ficha sociodemográfica y el instrumento fantástico, diseñado por el Departamento de Medicina Familiar de la Universidad McMaster de Canadá, ajustado por el investigador Pedro Reyes Gaspar, obteniendo un Alfa de Cronbach, de 0,706, y un coeficiente de Spearman Brown r=0,616 y la correlación dos mitades de Guttman r=0,615. Los datos se trabajaron a través del programa SPSS versión 24, mediante análisis estadístico descriptivo univariado de frecuencias y tablas de contingencia. Resultados: El 40% de la población no es activa físicamente, más de la mitad de los docentes y administrativos aseguran que no ingieren una dieta adecuada, el 26% casi nunca duermen bien y se sienten descansados, el 29% algunas veces duerme bien y descansa. El 50% algunas veces es capaz de hacer frente al estrés en sus vidas y 10% casi nunca puede manejar el estrés. Se identificó riesgo en salud en los docentes en las dimensiones de actividad física, nutrición, sueño y estrés (p.000) en comparación con los administrativos. Conclusiones: Se halló que el perfil de estilo de vida en docentes y administrativos de una universidad pública de Colombia se caracteriza por la inactividad física, una mala alimentación, un mal manejo del estrés y trastornos del sueño.

Introducción: El exceso de peso infantil es un problema de salud pública, muestra una tendencia creciente, lo que repercutirá en el estado de salud y calidad de vida de los futuros adultos; se hace necesario mejorar la comprensión de los determinantes socioeconómicos de este fenómeno. Objetivo: Analizar los principales determinantes socioeconómicos intermedios y estructurales que influyen en el exceso de peso en niños en edad preescolar (3-5 años) y escolar (6-12 años) en Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Diseño descriptivo correlacional transversal con datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Situación Nutricional 2015 (ENSIN). Se realizaron modelos logísticos para explicar el exceso de peso (variable dependiente) en preescolares (puntaje Z del peso para la talla >+2DE) y escolares (IMC para la edad >+1DE). Resultados: Los niños preescolares que no consumen onces o media tarde tienen 60% menos riesgo de exceso de peso en comparación con los que si consumen. Los niños escolares tienen mayor riesgo de exceso de peso, a mayor índice de riqueza de la familia (2,09 veces), al pasar mucho tiempo frente a una pantalla (1,4 veces), al no realizar actividad física, y al estar en una familia con 2 hasta 5 integrantes. Conclusiones: Existen diferentes determinantes intermedios y estructurales para la población preescolar y escolar colombiana que influyen en el exceso de peso. Se recomienda profundizar en las políticas públicas de salud para educar y prevenir sobre alteraciones nutricionales y complicaciones a largo plazo que vayan en detrimento de la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos.

This ethnographic work on the cultural behavior of anorexic women in a virtual communication space aimed to demonstrate the use of their verbalizations and images that support the motivations and guidelines of this practice. The methodology of writing from the leading role of this condition and having returned some time later to be able to document it was used. The main finding is a guide exposed in categories where it can be concluded that this pathology behaves as a spiritual cult where communication with ANA is vital, the deity of this practice that has its own symbols and imaginaries, all through a virtual forum. Este trabajo etnográfico sobre el comportamiento cultural de las mujeres anoréxicas en un espacio de comunicación virtual, tuvo como objetivo evidenciar el uso de sus verbalizaciones e imágenes que fundamentan las motivaciones y pautas de esta práctica. Se usó la metodología de escribir desde el protagonismo de este padecimiento y haber regresado tiempo después para poder documentarlo. Como principal hallazgo se presenta una guía expuesta en categorías donde se puede concluir que esta patología se comporta como culto espiritual donde es vital la comunicación con ANA, la deidad de esta práctica que tiene sus propios símbolos e imaginarios, todo a través de un foro virtual.

Mexico is in a state of epidemiological emergency due to the prevalence of Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM2). The increase in glucose levels and the complications from the disease highlight the need for the patient to modify their lifestyle. Implementing effective interventions in modifying behaviors and thoughts associated with lifestyle changes is essential. In order to measure the efficacy of a cognitive behavioral intervention to improve lifestyle and reduce cognitive distortions about the disease in patients with DM2, a pre-experimental study with pre-test and post-test of a single group was carried out. An increase resulted in a large effect size in the nutrition subscales, information on diabetes, therapeutic adherence, and the total lifestyle scale. Also, a substantial reduction occurred in the dichotomous thinking subscale and the total cognitive distortions of the Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire to Assess Cognitive Distortions by Lerma et al. In conclusion, results suggest that cognitive behavioral therapy is a valuable resource in changing lifestyles and thoughts in DM2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

University students worldwide are sedentary and have unhealthy lives. As a result, the idea of health promoting universities was developed to address this issue. Despite its enormous impact on university students' health, the notion of health promoting institutions has not yet been properly explored internationally. The main purpose of the present study is to identify the level and factors associated with health promoting life style behaviors among Saudi Universities Students. a crosssectional study was used to assess health promoting behaviors among nursing students in Saudi Arabia. Convenient sampling method was done on 727 participants. Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) scale adopted from Walker et al. (1987) based on the Pender's health-promoting model was used in the current study. Different statistical procedures were done to achieve the study objectives. The total mean score of health promoting behavior among study participants is 121.52±19.35. The highest mean score of health promoting behavior domain was observed in Spiritual growth (2.65± 0.50), while the lowest mean score was observed in Physical activity (1.90± 0.59). Results showed that there is no significant difference in the mean score of participants' health promoting behavior with regards to their gender, age, income, marital status, level of study, smoking status (p>0.05). Health insurance showed significant association with health promoting behavior (p<0.05). This research demonstrates how having health insurance may effectively affect the healthpromoting behaviors of nursing students. In order to assist university administrators and personnel in the development of strategies that are more efficient in fostering health-promoting habits among nursing students, the research offers recommendations.

To analyze the association between the presence of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases (CNCDs) and the motivation for a Healthy Lifestyle (HL) in adult women. Cross-sectional and analytical study carried out in 12 Primary Health Care Units, with 691 adult women. A Questionnaire for the sociodemographic and clinical characterization of the sample and a Questionnaire on the Motivation for the Practice of a Healthy Lifestyle (QMEVS) were used. There was a higher percentage of arterial hypertension among the CNCDs studied (12.9%); there was no association between amotivation and the presence of CNCDs (p = 0.270); CNCDs were significantly associated with extrinsic and intrinsic motivation (p = 0.008; p = 0.020). Women with CNCDs are more likely to have extrinsic motivation and less chance of intrinsic motivation (1.98 and 0.5 times, respectively). There was no association between amotivation and CNCDs. Women with CNCDs are more likely to develop extrinsic motivation and less chance of intrinsic motivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this review article is to highlight variables that the Oaxacan population has that favor cognitive reserve (CR) and which is essential to promote healthy aging. These protective factors that prevent or delay evolution of neurodegenerative disease may enable toleration of age-related changes, maintaining cognitive function despite disease. Research in countries with a high level of development shows that certain lifestyles delay the onset of dementia, but what happens in developing countries like Mexico and it's cities, like Oaxaca, where the population has particular characteristics according to health conditions, education, housing, and traditions. What could provide them with CR, despite not having the same quality of life as first world countries? Professional literature from 2014 to 2022 related to CR and dementia internationally and in Mexico was reviewed using Pub-Med, BMC, and Google Scholar. Substantial literature exists in Europe and North America, Oaxaca has various variables which favor CR, most of them have not been properly assessed by research, leading to a disadvantage for people living in Oaxaca compares to older adults in developed countries. Oaxaca, Mexico, has some variables that favor CR, but it does not have all those already documented by research, which leaves older adults living in states like Oaxaca at a disadvantage compared to older adults in developed countries. Although the manifestations of cognitive decline do not appear uniformly, CR may prevent or delay evolution of dementia maintaining quality of life and activities of the elderly. It is essential to carry out research on non-traditional variables that may be enhancing CR and that has not been addressed in developing countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
