Introduction: It seems that the risk of developing diabetes cannot be predicted solely based on weight or BMI. Metabolic phenotypes might offer a more precise tool for identifying patients at higher risk of diabetes, thus enabling more effective and targeted preventive interventions. Objective: To determine the association between these metabolic phenotypes and the risk of diabetes. Materials: Systematic Review (SR) with a meta-analysis of cohort studies. The search was carried out in four databases: Pubmed/Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and EMBASE. Metabolic states were classified into six groups: Metabolically Healthy Normal Weight (MHNW), Metabolically Unhealthy Normal Weight (MUNW), Metabolically Healthy Overweight (MHOW), Metabolically Unhealthy Overweight (MUOW), Metabolically Healthy Obesity (MHO), and Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity (MUO). Association measures were presented as...

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common disease. However, its diagnosis and treatment are underestimated. The main reason is that the upper airway completely or partially collapses, leading to repeated sleep apnea episodes. In addition, atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia in the world, these two entities may be related and are important public health problems.Objective: To determine the association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation in adult patients.Materials and Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that associate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and atrial fibrillation was carried out. The search was carried out in 4 databases: PUBMED, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus.Results: Eight studies were included (n=562241). A significant association was found between obstructive sleep ...

Introduction: Due to the presence of Covid-19 in the world, several countries, including Peru, have taken measures, including compulsory social isolation (quarantine). The inability of people to carry out their daily activities has directly affected their lifestyles. A population quite susceptible to these changes are university students. Objectives: To develop a validation scale to know what are the changes in lifestyles during the quarantine period in a population of university students from Lima, Peru. Results: The final scale was made up of 25 items. Bartlett's sphericity test was significant (3514.19, gl = 300, p <0.001) and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin sample size adequacy indicator was adequate (0.845). The four thematic areas were changes with respect to 1) Eating habits; 2) Harmful habits; 3) Physical activity; and 4) Use of communication media. As it was a Likert-type ordinal meas...

Introducción: Los estudiantes universitarios se han visto obligados a cambiar sus hábitos debido a la cuarentena por la pandemia COVID-19. Objetivo: Desarrollar una escala de validación para conocer los cambios en los estilos de vida durante la cuarentena en estudiantes universitarios de Lima, Perú. Métodos: Estudio transversal, observacional, analítico. Se encuestaron a 549 universitarios de medicina humana y psicología de dos universidades privadas de Lima de forma virtual. Se realizó la validez de constructo, la fiabilidad y los rangos/categorías para calificar el estilo de vida. Resultados: La escala final quedó conformada por 25 reactivos. La prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett fue significativa (3514,19, gl= 300, p<0,001) y el indicador de adecuación del tamaño de muestra Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin fue adecuado (0,845). Las cuatro áreas temáticas fueron cambios con respecto a 1...

Introducción: Aunque se está generando múltiple evidencia clínica sobre la COVID-19, también es crítico abordar sobre las estrategias y acciones que han adoptado las personas para enfrentar situaciones estresantes durante la cuarentena obligatoria debido a la pandemia. Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados al afrontamiento psicológico frente a la COVID-19 en la población general. Métodos: Estudio transversal analítico. Se reclutaron los participantes a través de una encuesta en línea, durante el periodo de pandemia por la COVID-19. Se evaluó el nivel de afrontamiento pasivo y activo, utilizando la escala de afrontamiento frente a riesgos extremos. Adicionalmente, se utilizó la media de los puntajes de afrontamiento pasivo y activo, se evaluó la asociación con variables sociodemográficas, pertenencia a grupos, cumplimiento de aislamiento social y reporte de conocer ...
