Objetivos: Comparar las características cineantropométricas de la selección universitaria Inca Garcilaso de la Vega y Peruana de karate. Diseño: Descriptivo, transversal. Institución: Universidad Inca Garcilaso de la Vega y Federación Peruana de Karate. Participantes: 34 karatekas, ambos sexos, entre 16 y 30 años, pertenecientes a la selección universitaria Inca Garcilaso de la Vega y a la selección Peruana. Intervenciones: Las mediciones antropométricas (pliegues, perímetros, segmentos corporales y diámetros óseos) fueron realizadas según el protocolo ISAK. Se analizó 20 variables antropométricas. Principales medidas de resultados: Composición corporal y somatotipo. Resultados: En las selecciones nacional y universitaria respectivamente, el porcentaje de masa adiposa fue en promedio 25% y 27% en varones y 33% y 35% en mujeres; el porcentaje de masa muscular fue 48% y 47...

“Background: The metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) phenotype has been considered a risk factor for different chronic diseases, but its role in high blood pressure (HBP) is still unclear. The aim of the study is to determine if the MONW phenotype constitutes a risk factor for hypertension in Peruvian adults belonging to a 5-year cohort. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. A secondary analysis from the database of the PERU MIGRANT study was carried out from the MONW and non-MONW cohorts; after a 5-year follow-up, the appearance of HBP was evaluated in the subjects of both cohorts. To assess the strength and magnitude of the association, a Poisson regression model (crude and adjusted) with robust variance was used. The measure of association was the relative risk (RR). Results: The incidence of HBP was 11.30%. In the multivariable analysis, subjects with the MONW phenoty...
