Para establecer la prevalencia de índice de masa corporal (IMC), obesidad, resistencia a la insulina (RI) y síndrome metabólico (SM), se llevó a cabo un Cross Sectional Study, en una muestra estratificada proporcional de 253 estudiantes que ingresan al primer semestre de las distintas facultades de la Universidad Tecnológica Equinoccial durante el primer semestre del año 2011, con miras a diseñar una línea de base que permita, cada dos años hacer un seguimiento de los cambios en los parámetros descritos. El 23% de los estudiantes tuvieron un índice de masa corporal considerado superior al normal (IC95%: 17.9 a 28.6%), presentando mayor prevalencia de obesidad en el sexo masculino 16% que en el sexo femenino 6% (p<0.05). Se estudió la resistencia a la insulina a través del Homeostasis Model Asessment (HOMA), cuyos valores variaban en los estudiantes entre 0,19 a 14,24. De acuerdo a los parámetros establecidos para resistencia a la insulina medidos en el HOMA, la prevalencia encontrada de resistencia a la insulina en los estudiantes fue del 25.7% (IC95% 20.4 % a 31.5%), La prevalencia de SM fue de 12,6% (IC95% 8,8% a 17,3 siendo esta prevalencia en varones del 14,8% (IC95%98,3% a 21,9%), y en mujeres de 10,2% (IC95% 5,3 % a 17,1%) p>0.05. Llama la atención además la alta prevalencia de consumo de cigarrillos y bebidas alcohólicas en varones y mujeres y la dieta frecuente de hidratos de carbono. Para la obtención de las prevalencias antes descritas, fue necesario realizar mediciones antropométricas y exámenes de laboratorio con los que se construyeron parámetros percentilares que servirán de referencia en nuevas mediciones, estudiándose además los hábitos alimenticios, de consumo de licor, tabaco, etc., así como la historia personal y familiar de los estudiantes.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is an independent risk factor, which affects the development of chronic kidney disease, so the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as an indicator of glomerular function in patients with and without MS who attended the outpatient clinic “los Grillitos, sector Caña de Azucar”. Materials and Methods: A comparative, correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted in a non-probability sample of convenience consisting of 60 patients with MS diagnosed according to the criteria Panel ATP III, and 60 apparently healthy individuals, whom the GFR was determined by the Cockcroft-Gault as well as clinical and biochemical parameters for the diagnosis of MS. Results: Out of the total patients evaluated, 37 (30.7%) showed alterations that put them in grades G2 and G3 system risk stratification of CKD, of these 18 and 19 corresponded to patients with and without MS respectively. Glomerular Hyperfiltration (> 120 mil / min) it was found in both groups 28 (46.7%) and 24 (40%) cases of patients with and without MS respectively. The glomerular function was strongly correlated with abdominal obesity and high levels of stress arterial. As for the number of criteria and its relationship to the level of kidney damage present, not a firm to increase the latter with respect to the first (p=0.385) trend was observed. Conclusion: The change in the glomerular function is not directly related to the MS but with its components, specifically abdominal obesity and hypertension.

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.

The One

This investigation focuses on the question whether assessments of the development of internalizing behavior from childhood to adolescence are affected by the kind of research design (longitudinal versus cross-sectional). Two longitudinal samples of 432 second-graders and 366 fourth graders participated in a longitudinal study with subsequent measurements taken 1, 2, and 3 years later. A third sample consisting of 849 children covering the same range of grades participated in a cross-sectional study. The results show that the development of internalizing symptoms in girls – but not in boys – varies systematically with the research design. In girls, there is a decrease of internalizing symptoms (especially between the first two timepoints) in the longitudinal assessment, which may reflect, for example, the influence of strain during the first testing situation. Both longitudinal trajectories converge to a common trajectory from grade 2 to grade 7 when controlling for this “novelty-distress effect.” Moreover, when we control this effect, the slight but significant decrease characterizing the common trajectory becomes similar to the one obtained in the cross-sectional study. Therefore, trajectories based on longitudinal assessments may suggest more changes with regard to internalizing symptoms over time than actually take place, while trajectories based on cross-sectional data may be characterized by an increased level of internalizing symptoms. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
