Introducción: Los estudiantes universitarios están en una etapa clave de su vida en la que desarrollan estilos de vida que contribuyen a la adopción de hábitos saludables o factores de riesgo para las enfermedades cardiovasculares y metabólicas. Objetivo: Identificar los estilos de vida saludables en los estudiantes de Terapia Respiratoria de una Institución de Educación Superior. Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo de corte transversal en la que se incluyeron una muestra censal de 179 estudiantes de la Facultad de Salud, Universidad Santiago de Cali, Colombia, a los que se les aplicó el cuestionario FANTÁSTICO entre   marzo-junio de 2020. Los datos se analizaron en el programa SPSS versión 25. Resultados: El 92% de los participantes eran de sexo femenino con una edad de 22± 2,9 años, de acuerdo con el cuestionario FANTÁSTICO el 92·% presentaban un estilo de vida adecuado y un 5% tenía un estilo de vida algo bajo. No se evidenciaron diferencias en el puntaje global por sexo (76,1 vs 72,9 p= 0,05) desarrollo o no de práctica clínica formativa (72,9 vs 75,1 p=0,13) y nivel socioeconómico bajo o alto (72,8 vs 75,1 p=0,10) Conclusiones: A pesar de la pandemia de COVID-19, las medidas de aislamiento y los cambios que hubo que superar para adaptarse a esta nueva situación, se evidenció un estilo de vida bajo en un pequeño grupo de participantes. Dado que los estilos de vida que se adquieren en la adolescencia y juventud se mantienen en algunos casos durante la edad adulta, es importante que las universidades continúen promoviendo hábitos saludables que mejoren la calidad de vida de estudiantes. Palabras Clave: Estilo de vida, estudiantes del área de la salud, tabaquismo, bebidas alcohólicas, actividad física, adolescente, conducta sedentaria.   ABSTRACT Introduction: University students are in a key stage of their lives in which they develop lifestyles that contribute to the adoption of healthy habits or risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Objective: Identify healthy lifestyles in Respiratory Therapy students of an Institution of Higher Education. Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study that included a census sample of 179 students from the Faculty of Health, Santiago de Cali University, Colombia, to whom the FANTASTIC questionnaire was applied between March-June 2020. The data is collected analyzed in the SPSS version 25 program. Results: The 92% of the participants were female with an age of 22 ± 2.9 years, according to the FANTASTIC questionnaire, 92% had an adequate lifestyle and 5% had a somewhat low lifestyle. There were no differences in the global score by sex (76.1 vs 72.9 p=0.05) development or not of formative clinical practice (72.9 vs 75.1 p = 0.13) and low socioeconomic level or high (72.8 vs 75.1 p=0.10). Conclusions: Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the isolation measures and the changes that had to be overcome to adapt to this new situation, there was evidence of a low life in a small group of participants. Given that the lifestyles acquired in adolescence and youth are maintained in some cases during adulthood, it is important that universities continue to promote healthy habits that improve the quality of life of students. Key Words: Lifestyle, health occupations students, smoking, alcoholic beverages, physical activity, adolescent, sedentary behavior.

Abstract Background The consumption of red meat should not surpass 500 g of cooked weight per week. Regular consumption can exceed this recommendation, increasing the risk of chronic diseases. Objective Estimate the prevalence of the regular consumption of red meat according to health behaviors in Brazilian adults (≥18 years). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with data from the 2013 National Health Survey, which is a household inquiry with a representative sample of the population ≥18 years of age. The regular consumption of red meat (beef, pork, goat) was defined as ≥ 5 days/week. Prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated according to health behaviors (healthy and unhealthy eating patterns, smoking, practice of physical activity during leisure and alcohol intake). Results A total of 60,202 adults were interviewed, 52.9% of whom were women and mean age was 42.9 years (95%CI: 42.6-43.2). The prevalence of regular red meat consumption was 36.7% (95%CI: 36.0-37.5) and was higher among those who ingested soft drinks/artificial juice (PR = 1.08) and sweets (PR = 1.05) ≥3 days/week, ingested beans (PR = 1.07) and raw vegetables (PR = 1.03) ≥5 days/week, ingested fatty meat (PR = 1.09), smokers (PR = 1.05), individuals who were inactive during leisure (PR = 1.04) and those who consumed alcohol ≥2 times/week (PR = 1.06). The prevalence was lower among those who ate fruit (PR = 0.99) and chicken (PR = 0.95) ≥5 days/week, those who ate fish (PR = 0.90) at least 1 day/week and those who drank no fat/low fat milk rather than whole milk. Conclusions The regular consumption of red meat was higher among individuals who ingested unhealthy foods more often, those who ingested fatty meat, smokers, those who ingested alcoholic beverages and those who did not practice physical activity. Actions are needed to reduce the frequency of red meat consumption. Key messages Regular consumption of red meat can exceed the recommendation of 500 g of cooked weight per week. The regular consumption of red meat was associated with the more frequent ingestion of unhealthy foods and fatty meat.

Abstract Background Influenced by various factors such as socio-demographic characteristics, behavioral lifestyles and socio-cultural environment, the multimorbidity patterns in old adults remain complex. This study aims to identify their characteristics and associated multi-layered factors based on health ecological model. Methods In 2019, we surveyed a total of 7480 participants aged 60+ by using a multi-stage random cluster sampling method in Shanxi province, China. Latent class analysis was used to discriminate the multimorbidity patterns in old adults, and hierarchical regression was performed to determine the multi-layered factors associated with their various multimorbidity patterns. Results The prevalence of multimorbidity was 34.70% among the old patients with chronic disease. Over half (60.59%) of the patients with multimorbidity had two co-existing chronic diseases. “Degenerative/digestive diseases”, “metabolic diseases” and “cardiovascular diseases” were three specific multimorbidity patterns. Behavioral lifestyles-layered factors had the most explanatory power for the three patterns, whose proportions of explanatory power were 54.00, 43.90 and 48.15% individually. But the contributions of other multi-layered factors were different in different patterns; balanced diet, medication adherence, the size of family and friendship network, and different types of basic medical insurance might have the opposite effect on the three multimorbidity patterns (p < 0.05). Conclusions In management of old patients with multimorbidity, we should prioritize both the “lifestyle change”-centered systematic management strategy and group-customized intervention programs.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common and lethal infectious diseases. Objectives: Due to the impact of biological, behavioral, socio-economic factors on the incidence of TB and the risks of the disease, we aimed to investigate the factors affecting TB in TB patients in Semnan. Patients and Methods: All patients with confirmed TB, who were referred to primary healthcare centers in Semnan for receiving medication, enrolled in the study (2012 to 2016). Data collected from clinical records and in-person interviews. The questionnaire consisted of two parts; the first part was demographic data and the other was related to the risk factors for TB. Results: The household crowding index was 1.86 ± 0.88. Most of patients (48.1%) were elderly (≥60 years old), female (59.7%), housewife (48.1%), had a pre-diploma education (63.6%), low-monthly income (62.3%) and married (63.6%). Around13.0% had diabetes. 20.8% drug abuser, 16.9% cigarettes and tobacco smokers, and 1.3% consumed alcoholic beverages. Besides, 40.3% were Afghans and 1.3% had the Pakistani nation. Conclusion: Identifying and controlling the social, geographical and biological factors affecting the incidence and mortality of TB in different regions can help to formulate appropriate strategies for achieving global goals. These factors differ among native and non-native population.
