Objective: Determine the relationship of knowledge, attitudes and practices on hygiene and food handling of workers in the restaurants of Miraflores and Lurigancho-Chosica. Methodology: descriptive and correlational type. The sample consisted of 125 manipulators from Miraflores and 125 from Lurigancho-Chosica; The questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes and practices on hygiene and food handling was used. Results: The results showed that in Miraflores and Lurigancho Chosica 70.4% and 59.2% had high knowledge about hygiene and food handling, similarly, in both districts, very positive attitudes about hygiene and food handling were found in 94.4% and 93.6% respectively. In Miraflores, 97.6% of handlers present a high level of practices, while in Lurigancho Chosica the proportion is lower with 54.4%. Conclusion: it was observed that Miraflores handlers have a higher level of knowledge ...

Goal: To determine the relationship between the type of eating patterns and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adults of the Southeastern Peru. Materials and Methods: It was a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational study. The sample wasselected by non-probabilistic sampling at the researcher’s convenience, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, made up of 130 adults. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the study population was 27%. A 62% had an omnivorous pattern, between western and Mediterranean, 39.2% had vegetarian food pattern, corresponding to lacto-ovo-vegetarian and vegan. There was a statistically significant relationship between dietary patterns and indicators of metabolic syndrome (p <0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between eating patterns and metabolic syndrome in participants, where those who ha...

El constante desarrollo de la tecnología e informática ha influenciado en la ciencia de la Nutrición para incluir en sus competencias herramientas informáticas, que procesen y gestionen amplia información de manera eficiente y confiable. De Diego, Cuervo y Martínez (2015) afirman que la introducción de programas informáticos al campo de la Nutrición se dio en la necesidad de generar herramientas de trabajo para dietistas, docentes y especialistas en nutrición. De esta manera, se permite cuantificar y analizar la ingesta dietética de un individuo o población, según sus patrones alimentarios y requerimientos nutricionales. El presente plan de negocios tiene relevancia científica pues contribuye con la ciencia de la nutrición y alimentos, y permite procesar datos nutricionales de manera fiable y eficiente, lo que facilita la realización de estudios científicos en nutrición...
