Introducción: Los conductores de taxi están propensos a una serie de factores de riesgo asociados a múltiples enfermedades, producto del sometimiento a estilos de vida no saludables. Objetivo: Estimar factores predictores del sobrepeso y obesidad en conductores de taxi, según variables socioeconómicas y dimensiones del estilo de vida. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo, observacional, transversal, explicativo, llevado a cabo en un universo de 131 taxistas hombres, que trabajan en la ciudad de Azogues-Ecuador, aplicando la Escala del Estilo de Vida junto con la medición del peso y la talla de los participantes para obtener el índice de masa corporal. El análisis estadístico recurrió a métodos univariados (frecuencias, medidas de tendencia y dispersión) y multivariados (regresión logística binomial). Resultados: participantes de 35 a 42 años (45.8%), casados (90.84%), conducen más de 8 horas diarias (72.5%), con sobrepeso u obesidad (83.2%), llevan un estilo de vida no saludable global del 86.3%. La regresión logística mostró buen ajuste del modelo para las 3 variables incluidas: alimentación (OR = 1.53), apoyo interpersonal (OR = 0.454) y horas de conducción diarias (OR = 4.078). Discusión: Ser conductor de taxi es una actividad de riesgo para la salud que puede generar sobrepeso u obesidad, condiciones que pueden ser predichas por factores del estilo de vida y por condiciones laborales propias de esta actividad.

El envejecimiento poblacional no es un fenómeno exclusivo de la sociedad moderna; ha estado presente en todas las etapas del desarrollo social y ha sido siempre de interés para la filosofía, el arte y la medicina. Se presenta una revisión bibliográfica, con el objetivo de valorar la aplicación del modelo de Nola J. Pender en la promoción de salud y su aplicabilidad desde su visión teórica en la práctica de enfermería comunitaria en el envejecimiento poblacional. Se analizan los aspectos teóricos expresados por ella, sus principales supuestos y su relación con el envejecimiento poblacional, además de exponer sus aportes teóricos, la importancia de su aplicación para la familia, la comunidad y su contribución al desarrollo de la enfermería no solo de Cuba sino en el mundo; si partimos de que Cuba está entre los países más envejecidos de Latinoamérica. La promoción de la salud motivada por el deseo de aumentar el bienestar y actualizar el potencial humano, es considerada en la actualidad una poderosa herramienta que permite promover actitudes, motivaciones y acciones a partir del concepto de autoeficacia, del compromiso de los individuos con el cambio de conductas para fomentar salud, no solo sobre el envejecimiento en sí, sino desde el envejecimiento. Los principales supuestos de Nola J. Pender en el modelo de promoción de salud la sitúan como marco de referencia en la investigación, al fortalecer la profesión y fundamentar su quehacer de manera objetiva hacia los intereses de los profesionales y las necesidades de las personas.

Introducción. Este artículo proporciona un aporte importante desde la aplicación del Modelo de Adaptación de Callista Roy a grupos. Objetivo. Promover comportamientos adaptativos a través de estrategias de atención primaria en salud dirigidas a un grupo de adultos mayores con enfermedad crónica que habitan en un municipio del departamento de Cundinamarca Colombia; Materiales y Métodos. Abordaje cualitativo tipo investigación-acción participativa. La enfermera utilizó la observación participante, y caracterizó la comunidad; además, con preguntas exploratorias les permitió reconocer sus problemas y proponer estrategias de mejora, incluso para su propia salud; posteriormente se aplicó el proceso de atención de enfermería. Resultados. Se logró valorar el comportamiento del grupo a través de los modos físico, auto-concepto o identidad grupal, la función del rol o unidad de funcionamiento de la sociedad e integridad social y la interdependencia o contexto social en el que funciona el grupo. Discusión. Aplicar el Modelo en la práctica permite reconocer situaciones negativas en los grupos para favorecer procesos de afrontamiento innovadores y controlar los estímulos ambientales en el contexto comunitario. Las habilidades en la valoración deben ser agudas ya que son la clave para la aplicación del modelo de Roy en la práctica comunitaria. Conclusiones. Se identificaron los estímulos que desencadenan los principales problemas de adaptación y se implementó un plan de cuidado con el desarrollo de estrategias para la adaptación, tales como la visita domiciliaria, encuentros intergeneracionales, participación comunitaria con grupos de apoyo creados por la municipalidad y la educación en salud con el fin de promover la adaptación del grupo.

El artículo revela el papel multifacético de los docentes de cultura física en el mantenimiento, fortalecimiento y desarrollo de la salud psicofísica de los estudiantes. Se revelan diversas formas de actuación psicológica y pedagógica con los estudiantes, tanto en la educación física como en el tiempo extraescolar. Los autores argumentan que solo un enfoque integral, práctico e ideológico de la cultura física y el deporte, dirigido a mejorar la personalidad del estudiante, brinda actividades saludables para la juventud, contribuye a la formación de un estilo de vida saludable para los jóvenes durante su etapa escolar. Sobre la base de las experiencias adquiridas en el ambiente educativo, se revelan los detalles de la introducción de la educación física, los deportes y un estilo de vida saludable a los estudiantes. En general, se ha identificado una actitud positiva e informada de los estudiantes hacia un estilo de vida saludable. Se observo que, para los docentes del área de Cultura Física, se requiere una preparación multinivel y cualitativamente diferente de su actividad psicomotora.

Objectives: To know the self-perceived health, lifestyle, functional capacity and relationship between them, in a group of older adults from a rural primary healthcare center. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. The participants filled out a questionnaire made up of sociodemographic, clinical, socio-family support data, linked to COVID-19 and 5 scales: MEDAS-1, RAPA, Barthel, SARC-F and SF-36. The variables were analyzed through hypothesis contrasts and Pearson's coefficient, considering statistical significance with p<0.05. Results: The sample consisted of 142 older adults, with an average age of 75.85 years. Most of them were married, had primary education, were not caregivers, did not have toxic habits, were polymedicated, took psychotropic drugs, and were not afraid of COVID-19. The sample had a normal weight overall, 48.6% demonstrated high adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD), 35.9% were moderately active, 54.9% indicated independence for basic activities of daily living (BADL), and 75.4% showed low risk of sarcopenia. The sample's perception of health was lower in most of the SF-36 subscales analyzed than that of the reference population, being lower in women and with increasing age. Older adults with low adherence to MD, sedentary, dependent, and with sarcopenia showed a lower perception of health. Participants with low adherence to the MD were more sedentary and those who were more dependent had a higher risk of sarcopenia. Conclusions: an inadequate lifestyle and functional limitation significantly reduce the self-perception of health, requiring intervention to correct them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to describe the design and validation process of food guideline messages written in the braille reading and writing system for people with visual impairment. The process involved the following stages: i) design and elaboration of the material containing the food guideline messages, as well as its adaptation to the format; ii) technical validation with representatives of the National Council for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities (CONADIS); and iii) operational validation through focus groups with children, adolescents and adults with visual disabilities who can read braille. The participants agreed on the legibility, clarity and comprehension of the messages and approved the format of the material. Finally, it should be noted that the participation of key informants and people with visual impairment in all stages was important for the development of an informative material with healthy eating messages in braille.

Introduction: This article is an important contribution to the application of Callista Roy's Adaptation Model to groups. Objective: To promote adaptive behaviors through primary health care strategies for a group of chronically ill older adults living in a municipality in the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia. Materials and methods: A qualitative participatory action research approach was used. A nurse used participant observation and characterized the community; besides, with exploratory questions, the nurse enabled them to identify their problems and suggest strategies for improvement, including for their own health. Subsequently, the nursing care process was applied. Results: Group behavior was assessed through the following modes of adaptation: physiologic adaptation, selfconcept or group identity, role-function adaptation or unit of social functioning and social integrity, and interdependence adaptation or social context in which the group functions. Discussion: Applying Roy's model in practice makes it possible to identify negative situations in groups, promote innovative coping processes, and control environmental stimuli in a community. Assessment skills must be sharp, as they are key to applying Roy's model to community practice. Conclusions: The stimuli that trigger the main adaptation problems were identified, and a nursing care plan was implemented developing adaptation strategies, such as home visits, intergenerational meetings, community participation with support groups created by the municipality, and health education, to promote group adaptation.

Objective: To determine some life style and eating habits in a group of university students. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional-descriptive study was carried out, with a field design. The entire population of young people aspiring to enter the Central University of Venezuela through the Samuel Robinson Program was evaluated, corresponding to the cohorts - IX, X, XI, XIII, XIV, XV-, during the years 2007-2014 (265 individuals in total). To collect the data, the structured interview technique was applied as an instrument based on a pre-designed guide of open and closed questions. Results: This sample was characterized by having lifestyle habits with little physical activity (63.8%) and consumption of alcoholic beverages (80.8%) in both genders, a high consumption of soft drinks (>80%) and food fast (>90%). The students ate three meals a day and snacks in both the morning and afternoon (>70%). The university dining room was the space where the majority went to eat lunch, between 56% of women and 70% of men. Conclusions: The students of the Samuel Robinson Program (UCV), between 2007 and 2014, presented unhealthy eating and living habits, so healthy lifestyles must be strengthened and improved for the good performance of the university student, to reduce academic dropout, correct study habits and improve eating habits.

Objective: To determine the psychometric properties of the Scale of Healthy Lifestyles for University Students (EEVSEU) for male and female university students in Mexico. Materials and methods: Validity evidence regarding the structure and measurement invariance of the EEVSEU was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis. Initially, two models were evaluated: the original model (8 dimensions) and the model obtained in Mexican women (4 dimensions). The magnitude of the factorial loads of each item (=0.50) and the reliability of the scores and the construct of the models were determined through the alpha and omega coefficients. Finally, the association between healthy lifestyles and psychological well-being and self-regulation of eating habits was analysed. Results: After the initial analyses, a new model was constructed with 7 dimensions of the EEVSEU (exercise, regular behaviour, nutritional behaviour, health responsibility, social support, stress management and appreciation for life) (M3). It evidenced adequate factorial parameters (adjustment indices and factorial loads), was invariant between men and women and significantly associated with the self-regulation of eating habits and psychological well-being. Conclusions: The EEVSEU has adequate psychometric properties for its application in studies involving male and female university students in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the impact of healthy lifestyle habits in the university environment on community health and well-being during the transition from adolescence to early adulthood. Through a comprehensive literature review from 2017, which included 34 articles, four main themes were identified: physical activity, diet, sedentary behavior, and technological recreation. Although most studies adopted a descriptive, cross-sectional, and qualitative approach, they highlighted internal and external factors influencing the promotion of healthy habits. However, despite acknowledging the need to mitigate risks associated with unhealthy practices, the emphasis is placed on the importance of integrating health promotion into university culture, institutional policies, and curricula.

Introduction: The school population represents a fundamental group for health promotion actions, given that the foundations of healthy behaviors in adult life are established in children and adolescents, who can be greatly influenced by the school. Objective: To describe the health-related behavioral factors of schoolchildren between 13 and 17 years of age in secondary and middle school in Colombia. Methods: A national cross-sectional study was conducted (i.e., School Health Survey -ENSE-) that recorded information on dietary practices, physical activity, alcohol and drug consumption, injuries and bullying, and oral, visual and hearing health. Sampling was probabilistic, cluster and multistage. Results: Schoolchildren have low consumption of fruits, vegetables (13.1%) and dairy (76.5 %), high consumption of ultra-processed foods (82.4 %), sugary drinks (74.0 %) and fast foods (14.8 %), frequent addition of salt at the table (43.3 %), low compliance with physical activity recommendations (15.0 %) and high sedentary lifestyle (46.3 %), frequent consumption of alcohol (44.7 %) and psychoactive substances (14.7 %), in addition to prevalent situations of bullying (15.4 %), rejection (8.2 %) and verbal aggression (42.7 %).Conclusions: The ENSE shows critical inequalities by gender, ethnicity and social class, throughout the country. The indicators observed in schoolchildren are precursors of various chronic and degenerative diseases and mental illness, which requires the urgent attention of the different social actors in the country [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: analizar el sentido de coherencia y las habilidades para la vida y su relación con el cumplimiento del estilo de vida saludable. Método: estudio observacional transversal en personas con prediabetes atendidas en atención primaria, quienes respondieron a un cuestionario con variables sociodemográficas y hábitos saludables y a los cuestionarios de sentido de coherencia y habilidades para la vida. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo, bivariante y un modelo de regresión múltiple. Resultados: los y las participantes con mayor sentido de coherencia son quienes presentan mayores habilidades para la vida (Pearson = 0.470; p ⩽ 0.001) y mantienen un estilo de vida más saludable (B:1.24; p = 0.001). Una mayor puntuación de las habilidades de la vida se relaciona con un estilo de vida saludable (Pearson = 0.355, p < 0.001). El sentido de coherencia predice el estilo de vida saludable (BB = 0.21, p = 0.001). Conclusión: las personas con prediabetes con un mayor sentido de coherencia y más habilidades para la vida realizan conductas más saludables con relación a la dieta, al ejercicio físico y al hábito tabáquico. Las personas con mayor sentido de coherencia tienen mayor probabilidad de seguir el estilo de vida saludable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Method: the 1,292 students were selected by stratified probabilistic sampling, using the virtual "Survey of Health Risk Factors Related to Lifestyle" of the Colombian National Institute of Health. Results: The results indicate that the female sex predominated in the population, affiliated to the subsidized regime in socioeconomic stratum 1 and 2; enrolled in the nursing, engineering, human sciences and economic sciences mainly. As for food, it was found that the majority ate whole fruits and vegetables, but the consumption of fried foods, packaged/candy foods, sugary drinks, and the addition of salt to already served meals is high. Conclusions: The students have poor healthy diets and do physical activity a few days a week. It is necessary to promote institutional strategies to strengthen healthy habits by creating spaces that promote and maximize the health of the student population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Health risks have increased today, industrialization, urbanization, globalization and epidemics have led to changes in the lifestyles of individuals that have affected their socioeconomic conditions and cultural habits. There are multiple diseases in which it is very important to maintain healthy lifestyles nowadays, to favor their control. Among them, high blood pressure stands out. This work aims to address some guidelines and points of view about how healthy lifestyles are managed for the control of chronic non-communicable diseases in times of the COVID-19 pandemic, from Primary Health Care.

Hasta mediados del siglo pasado la salud se expresa como mera oposición a la enfermedad, y la perspectiva general para mejorarla se centra en el avance de la medicina como principal herramienta de progreso, pero actualmente se reconoce la necesidad de otras estrategias más allá de las biomédicas. A partir del informe del ministro de sanidad canadiense Marc Lalonde (Isla Perrot, Canadá, 1935), A New Perspective on the Health of Canadians (1974), se introduce la noción de «campo de salud», en el cual se considera que estar sano es el resultado de cuatro determinantes: 1o) biología humana, 2o) medio ambiente, 3o) sistemas de atención sanitaria y 4o) estilo de vida. Para Maimónides (Córdoba, España, 1138; Fustat, Egipto, 1204) la salud tampoco es solo la ausencia de dolencia, sino el fruto de la conjunción de tres equilibrios: el humoral (fisiológico), el anímico (psicológico) y el cósmico (ecológico). Asimismo, dentro del contexto histórico, la nomenclatura y el marco teórico-científico de la medicina del Medioevo, en sus textos sobre el «régimen de salud» o higiene de vida se pueden reconocer los cuatros componentes que conforman la idea actual de salud, con los términos equiparables: 1o) naturaleza humana, 2o) hábitat local, 3o) cuidados médicos continuados de por vida y 4o) «cosas» necesarias para el cuerpo, respectivamente. Se puede considerar, pues, que la doctrina de Maimónides sobre la salud fue la más avanzada de su época y que pervive en el tiempo, ya que se fundamenta en conceptos similares a los del vigente modelo de Lalonde.

Introducción: este trabajo tuvo por objetivo contribuir en el estudio de la validez y confiabilidad de la versión en español de la Escala de Valoración de Capacidad de Autocuidado (ASA) en adolescentes. Materiales y Métodos: se construyó un cuestionario con los 24 ítems de la Escala ASA junto con ítems para explorar variables socio-demográficas, conductas y condiciones de salud. Se aplicó el cuestionario a 541 adolescentes mexicanos. Se realizaron como técnicas de análisis: análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE); análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC); determinación de consistencia interna (Coeficientes α y w); y análisis de relación con otras variables basado en comparación de grupos. Se analizó el desempeño de diferentes estructuras de la escala ASA. Resultados: Se lograron obtener dos propuestas basadas en la Escala ASA para su uso en adolescentes, una basada en un modelo unidimensional (20 ítems), así como una basada en un modelo de tres factores (14 ítems). Estas propuestas tuvieron buen desempeño en el AFC, así como en consistencia interna. Además, presentaron evidencia de validez basada en la relación con conductas y condiciones relacionadas con la salud.

Background: lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors information is scarce regarding youth and adults of Latin-American ethnics. Objective: the primary aim was to describe the lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors for arterial hypertension (HTN) and diabetes in ethnic Latin-American groups (Mapuche and Aymara) and other non-ethnics > 15 years of age in the Chilean population. A secondary aim was to determine the association between physical activity 'intensity' with HTN and diabetes markers. Material and methods: a representative sample from the National Chilean Health Survey 2016-2017, included Mapuche (EG-Map; women n = 166, men n = 300; total n = 466), Aymara (EG-Aym; women n = 96, men n = 55; total n = 151), and a non-ethnic population group (No-EG; women n = 2057, men n = 3445; total n = 5502). The main outcomes were; systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (GL), and secondary outcomes were other anthropometric, lipid profile, and lifestyle parameters. Results: GL was significantly associated with nutrition (0.9 %, p < 0.0001), tobacco and alcohol habits (0.6 %, p < 0.0001). SBP was significantly associated with nutrition (whole-grains 0.04, p = 0.001; water consumption 0.07, p < 0.0001), sleep hygiene (week 0.04, p = 0.030; on weekends -0.04, p = 0.026), and alcohol consumption (-0.06, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: in conclusion, lifestyle differences among Mapuche and Aymara ethnic groups in comparison with non-ethnic Chilean peers > 15 years are significantly associated with blood pressure and glycemia.
