Objective: To identify the relationship between nutritional status and academic performance of students from the School of Business Sciences of Universidad de Huanuco, 2017-2018. Methods. It is a cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach. Population comprised of 612 students, sample comprised of 235 students, selected probabilistically and all of them belonging to the first semester. Instruments used were made up of a socio- demographic survey, internal records for the identification of averages for mathematics and language courses, and an anthropometry card was used to measure nutritional status. Pearson's r correlation test was used in inferential analysis. Ethical considerations were taken into account at all times. Results. It was evident that 35.4 % (84) of the students had malnutrition, 5.9 % (14) for nutritional deficit and 29.5 % (70) for excess. 64.6 % (153) had a norm...

Objective. To measure the variation in the indicators of metabolic syndrome and body weight as risk factors of COVID-19, with the application ofstructured low-calorie diets in workers at Universidad de Huánuco. Methods. Quantitative approach, application scope, quasi-experimental designwith a single study group and two measurements, to measure the change in the values of the risk factors of metabolic syndrome. Population: With a population of about 500 workers at Universidad de Huánuco, between 20 and 60 years, the sample was composed of 29 workers with overweight and metabolic syndrome. Results. The application of the  Wilcoxon statistical test to compare the middle range of two related samples resulted in signifcant changes in the number of risk factors for metabolic syndrome, having a p-value of 0.000, this being less than the signifcance value of 0.05; which allows us to reject th...
