In order to determine whether family functioning predicts the level of resilience in parents facing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a predictive and cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 183 parents from the department of La Libertad, who were selected under a non-probabilistic purposive sampling. Two instruments were used to collect data: Cohesion and Family Adaptability Evaluation Scale (CESF) and the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRC). Based on a linear regression analysis, an adequate model fit is observed (F-test = 35.924, p < .001), where, family functioning (β = .407, p < .05) is a variable that significantly predicts resilience (adjusted R2 = .161). Also, the t-values of the beta regression coefficients of the predictor variable are highly significant (p < .01). In conclusion, the level of family functioning predicts the degree of resilient coping in p...

Introduction: Obesity in children and adolescents is a public health problem that is increasing worldwide, being known its relation with the development of metabolic alterations like diabetes mellitus type 2. Objectives: To determine the presence of insulin resistance in obese and non obese adolescents according to sex, age, pubertal stage and presence of familial metabolic or cardiovascular disorders. Design: Cross-sectional observational and analytical study. Setting: Three Lima urban educational centers. Participants: Adolescents 10 to 17 year-old. Interventions: Sixty nine adolescents between 10 and 17 years old were divided in two groups according to the presence of obesity. Obesity was defined as body mass index >95th percentile, 55,1% were male and 44,9% female. Homeostatic model assessment was employed to determine insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and beta cell function (HOMA%B) i...

The present work presents a series of studies carried out based on the antioxidant capacity of quinoa seeds, both raw, germinated, in flour, or in bread, and subjected to different controlled processes, and evaluating their increase or decrease in capacity. antioxidant Quinoa stands out in the world of foods for its high nutritional content, in this study its value as a functional food is highlighted, due to its high content of antioxidants. The antioxidant activity of the quinoa seeds was evaluated, measured by the methods: DPPH, ORAC, ABTS, FRAP and discoloration of beta carotene. The results obtained showed greater antioxidant capacity than most pseudocereals, with the exception of buckwheat. Likewise, the antioxidant activity of quinoa seeds, subjected to different processes, such as cooking, washing, spreading, baking and drying, was evaluated; which show highly significant differen...
