Introduction: the cardiovascular illnesses will be among the main causes of death in Perú by the year 2020. Objective: to determine the effect of moderate consumption of red wine on some cardiovascular risk scores.Materials and methods: chromatography of anthocyanin and several polyphenols was used to measure wine antioxidant capacity. The selected volunteers, 14 men and 14 women, were distributed in 4 groups of 7; two groups drank wine for a month; biochemical tests were performed on all volunteers at days 0, 15 and 30.Results: the wine had 226.9 mg/L anthocyanins, C.I.50% of the free radical DPPH = 42.27 mg/mL; total polyphenols = 1281.57 mg/L; caffeic acid = 11.82 mg/L, quercetin = 9.40 mg/L and kaempherol =1.08 mg/L. In men wine reduced glucose levels significantly in 10.19%, VLDL in 10.79%; the coronary risk was reduced by15.97% in men and 36.5% in women; HDL levels ...

Introducción. En adultos, la proteína C reactiva es un marcador de riesgo cardiovascular que se asocia con los factores de riesgo metabólicos tradicionales y predice eventos cardiovasculares. Objetivo. Determinar la relación entre los valores de proteína C reactiva, detectada con técnicas ultrasensibles (PCRus),y la adiposidad abdominal y otros factores de riesgo cardiovasculares tradicionales, en escolares. Materiales y Método. Estudio de tipo analítico, correlacional y transversal. El trabajo se realizó con escolares del primero al sexto grado de educación primaria, de la Institución Educativa Privada Héroes del Pacífico, del distrito de San Juan de Miraflores, en Lima, en el 2012. Se incluyeron a quienes fueron autorizados por sus padres o tutores. Se realizaronmediciones antropométricas: peso, talla, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y circunferencia de la ci...

La deficiencia de hierro es un problema de Salud Pública que afecta a todos los grupos etáreos en una población, las mujeres embarazadas y los niños son los grupos más vulnerables de nuestra sociedad. Con el objetivo de determinar el Estado de Nutrición en Hierro y su relación con la biodisponibilidad de Hierro de la dieta y la eosinofilia presente, se estudiaron 349 niños, 170 de sexo masculino y 179 de sexo femenino, entre 4 a 14 años de edad, del Centro de Salud San Genaro de Villa, Chorrillos( zona urbano-marginal). En el estado de nutrición, según el Índice de Quetelet, el 70.5% (246), se encontró normal y el 29,5% (103) alterado, distribuido en: 5,70% (20) con exceso, 10% (35) con sobrepeso, con mayor frecuencia en el sexo femenino y entre 11-14 años; 8,9% (31) con bajo peso, y 4,90% (17) con déficit, con mayor frecuencia en el sexo femenino y entre 4-7 años de edad...

Introducción. El feminicidio es un problema de salud mundial. América Latina presenta altas tasas, el Perú implementó su legislación, normativas, sanciones penales y programas preventivos; pero las estadísticas y desaparición de las mujeres siguen en aumento. Objetivo. Determinar las características sociodemográficas y personales en los protagonistas del feminicidio. Métodos. Se realizó un diseño descriptivo, de recolección de datos secundarios. Se analizó documentación forense del Instituto de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses del Perú constituido por 46 protocolos de necropsia médicolegal de víctimas de feminicidio en Lima Metropolitana durante los años 2019 al 2020 e informes periciales físicos y psiquiátricos de los feminicidas.

Objective: To determine the factors associated with work performance among the health personnel of Hospital Materno Infantil Carlos Showing Ferrari, Huánuco, in 2022. Materials and methods: An observational, correlational and prospective study with a population of 146 health professionals and a sample size of 86 individuals. The information was collected through a questionnaire, where the variable work performance was evaluated with the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire by Koopmans et al. and validated with Cronbach’s Alpha greater than 0.8. The factors analyzed encompassed sociodemographic, work-related and academic variables. The statistical analysis was conducted using the chi-square test and the data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics V25. Results: Most health professionals showed a very high-level work performance (60.47 %). Inferentially, sociodemographic factors suc...

Objective: To study the metabolic characteristics of people with prediabetes and compare them with those of a controlgroup. Material and methods: A total of 105 people have been studied, 57 with prediabetes (prediab), 27 women and 30 men, and 48 people without prediab, 27 women and 21 men, whose anthropometric and blood measurements were taken. measured basal glucose (G0), at 60 and 120 minutes postprandial, basal (I0) and postprandial insulin (Ipp), total cholesterol (TC), HDLcholesterol (HDL), triglycerides (Tg), transaminases (TGO, TGP), vitamin D (VD), parathormone (PTH) by conventionalmethods; the HOMA index, the VLDL, LDL and NoHDL fractions were calculated. Results: People with prediab hadsignificantly higher average weight, BMI, G0, G60 and G120 than those without prediab; there were no differences in the otherbiochemical markers studied. Conclusions: People with prediabetes have...

Objective: To evaluate the validity and reliability of an instrument that measures the satisfaction of nutritional services in renal patients. Material and Methods: The study had 7 phases within which an instrument was developed that measures the satisfaction of the patients of the Renal Health Unit, attended in nutrition workshops by telemedicine, which was applied to 31 patients. Results: The global content validity had a Lawshe index equal to 0.95. The construct validity of the satisfaction questionnaire through exploratory factor analysis found 2 factors that correspond to 87.5% of the total. The reliability of the questionnaire had a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.9. Conclusions: The questionnaire that measures the satisfaction of renal patients attended by telemedicine had high content, construct, and reliability validity.
