Objective: To evaluate the discriminative ability to predict diabetes with anthropometric and biochemical indicators and medical history. Methods: The sampling carried out was census and the sample consisted of 104 workers. A longitudinal study was carried out to evaluate the discriminative ability to predict diabetes with the anthropometric, biochemical, and antecedent indicators, using two models, the analysis of the ROC curves and binary logistic regression. Results: By analyzing the ROC curves, the abdominal circumference obtained greater predictive discriminative power (AUC = 0.747; p <0.001; CI: 0.624-0.870), compared to glycemia (AUC=0.749; p <0.001; CI: 0.645-0.852) and the waist-height index (AUC=0.737; p=0.001; CI: 0.638-0.836). Personal medical history is included in the logistic regression equation P(Y=1)=(1+e0,693+1,897APP)-1 to predict the risk of developing diab...

Objetivos: Determinar la caracterización de la dieta en los perfiles bioquímicos y antropométricos con análisis de componentes principales en pacientes obesos ecuatorianos. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, comparativo, longitudinal, se tuvo acceso a la base de datos de la historia clínica institucional y se conformó un grupo de estudio al que se les ofreció una dieta baja en carbohidratos. La muestra fueron 110 pacientes obesos del Hospital de Guayaquil-Ecuador. Resultados: Los pacientes tenían edades entre 25 a 65 años. Se obtuvo un efecto significativo de pérdida de IMC (kg/m2) (Δ-2,6±1,9) (p<0,001), perímetro abdominal (cm) (Δ-5,1±4,7) (p<0,001), grasa corporal (%) (Δ-3,6±3,6) (p<0,001), triglicéridos (mg/dL) (Δ-25,4±72,9) (p<0,001) y glucosa (mg/dL) (Δ-6,8±9,6) (p<0,001). Conclusión: La dieta baja en carbohidratos reduce el IMC, el perímetro abdominal, la grasa ...

Objectives: Determine the characterization of the diet in biochemical and anthropometric profiles with the analysis of the principal components in obese Ecuadorian patients. Methods: Descriptive, comparative, longitudinal studies; we had access to the institutional health clinical history database and a study group was formed, they were offered a low-carbohydrate diet. The sample consisted of 110 obese patients from the Hospital of Guayaquil-Ecuador. Results: The patients were between the ages of 25 to 65 years. The results showed a significant loss of BMI (kg/m2) (Δ-2,6±1.9) (p<0,001), waist circumference (cm) (Δ-5,1±4,7) (p<0,001), body fat (%) (Δ-3,6±3,6) (p<0,001), triglycerides (mg/dL) (Δ-25,4±72,9) (p<0,001) and glucose (mg/dL) (Δ-6,8±9,6) (p<0,001). Conclusion: The low carbohydrate diet reduces BMI, waist circumference, body fat, triglycerides and glucose ...
