Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y factores asociados al síndrome de intestino irritable en estudiantes de Medicina Humana de la USMP 2021. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio con enfoque cuantitativo observacional de tipo transversal analítico y prospectivo, en una población estudiantil de 403 alumnos de medicina humana de la Universidad de San Martín de Porres-Filial Norte, 2021 (USMP-FN). La variable dependiente fue el SII, medida con el cuestionario ROMA-IV. Se examinaron la asociación con las covariables (género, año académico, consumo de alcohol, consumo de tabaco, ansiedad, depresión, estrés, trastorno de conducta alimentaria, etc.). Resultados: La prevalencia de síndrome de intestino irritable fue 16,9 % (IC 95 %: 13,37-20,86). La mediana de edad fue de 21 años, y el 66,5 % eran mujeres. En el análisis de regresión múltiple, el SII se asoció a una may...

“Purpose: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with computer vision syndrome in medical students at a private university in Paraguay. Methods: A survey study was conducted in 2021 in a sample of 228 medical students from the Universidad del Pacífico, Paraguay. The dependent variable was CVS, measured with the Computer Visual Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q). Its association with covariates (hours of daily use of notebook, smartphone, tablet and PC, taking breaks when using equipment, use of preventive visual measures, use of glasses, etc.) was examined. Results: The mean age was 22.3 years and 71.5% were women. CVS was present in 82.5% of participants. Higher prevalence of CVS was associated with wearing a framed lens (PR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.03–1.20). In contrast, taking a break when using electronic equipment at least every 20 min and every 1 h reduced 7% (PR = 0.93, 95% ...
