          Abstract

          Durante la vida universitaria debieran consolidarse los hábitos saludables, supuestamente adquiridos durante la enseñanza escolar, los que finalmente deberían verse reflejados en el profesional adulto. En este estudio se pretende determinar la influencia de los centros universitarios, en los hábitos de alimentación y actividad física de los estudiantes. Se valúan los hábitos alimentarios y de actividad física de una muestra intencionada de 169 estudiantes de diferentes carreras de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, que asisten a la asignatura de estudios fundamentales "Autocuidado y vida saludable", dictada durante el año 2010. Se aplicaron dos encuestas: Calidad del Servicio de Alimentación (CASEDA) y Calidad de Servicio de Deporte Universitario (CASEDU). Además se realizaron antropométrica básica, determinación de la presión arterial, frecuencia cardíaca de reposo y pruebas sanguíneas para la determinación de glicemia y trigliceridemia. Los resultados arrojaron que los estudiantes tienen una mala percepción de la calidad del servicio de alimentación y aunque señalan que existe una amplia oferta de alimentos saludables y no saludables, tienden a elegir alimentos ricos en carbohidratos y lípidos. Esta situación se suma a su escaza práctica de actividad física. Se aprecia además que en el grupo femenino predominan niveles de triglicéridos elevados (161,7 mg/dL) y en el grupo masculino, hipertensión arterial elevada (132,1 mmHg). Estos antecedentes ponen de manifiesto la necesidad tomar acciones a nivel universitario que permitan a los alumnos adquirir hábitos alimentarios adecuados y entregar una oferta de actividades físicas que permitan a los estudiantes ocupar sus tiempos libres dentro de la universidad.

          Translated abstract

          During university life s tudents should consolidate healthy habits, presumably acquired during formal education, which should eventually be reflected in the professional adult life. This study aims to determine the influence of the universities on eating habits and physical activity of students. Food habits and physical activity were evaluated in a convenience sample of 169 students of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso attending different courses. The students in this study had been attending the fundamental studies "Autocuidado y Vida Saludable" (Self-care and Healthy Life) given in 2010. Two surveys were taken: Quality of the Food Service (CASEDA) and Quality of the Service of University Sports (CASEDU). They also completed basic anthropometric measurements, blood pressure tests, resting heart rate and blood glucose and triglycerides. The results showed that students have a poor perception of the quality offood service and although they indicated that there is a wide range of healthy and unhealthy foods; they tend to choose foods rich in carbohydrates andfats. This situation adds to their lack of physical activity data. It also shows that in women predominated high levels of triglyceride levels (161mg/dl) and in the male group predominated high blood pressure (132 mmHg). These facts underscore the need to take action at the university to enable students to acquire proper eating habits and provide a range ofphysical activities which will allow students to better use of their free time at college.

          Implications of recent clinical trials for the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines.

          The Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) of the National Cholesterol Education Program issued an evidence-based set of guidelines on cholesterol management in 2001. Since the publication of ATP III, 5 major clinical trials of statin therapy with clinical end points have been published. These trials addressed issues that were not examined in previous clinical trials of cholesterol-lowering therapy. The present document reviews the results of these recent trials and assesses their implications for cholesterol management. Therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) remain an essential modality in clinical management. The trials confirm the benefit of cholesterol-lowering therapy in high-risk patients and support the ATP III treatment goal of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <100 mg/dL. They support the inclusion of patients with diabetes in the high-risk category and confirm the benefits of LDL-lowering therapy in these patients. They further confirm that older persons benefit from therapeutic lowering of LDL-C. The major recommendations for modifications to footnote the ATP III treatment algorithm are the following. In high-risk persons, the recommended LDL-C goal is <100 mg/dL, but when risk is very high, an LDL-C goal of <70 mg/dL is a therapeutic option, ie, a reasonable clinical strategy, on the basis of available clinical trial evidence. This therapeutic option extends also to patients at very high risk who have a baseline LDL-C < 100 mg/dL. Moreover, when a high-risk patient has high triglycerides or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), consideration can be given to combining a fibrate or nicotinic acid with an LDL-lowering drug. For moderately high-risk persons (2+ risk factors and 10-year risk 10% to 20%), the recommended LDL-C goal is <130 mg/dL, but an LDL-C goal <100 mg/dL is a therapeutic option on the basis of recent trial evidence. The latter option extends also to moderately high-risk persons with a baseline LDL-C of 100 to 129 mg/dL. When LDL-lowering drug therapy is employed in high-risk or moderately high-risk persons, it is advised that intensity of therapy be sufficient to achieve at least a 30% to 40% reduction in LDL-C levels. Moreover, any person at high risk or moderately high risk who has lifestyle-related risk factors (eg, obesity, physical inactivity, elevated triglycerides, low HDL-C, or metabolic syndrome) is a candidate for TLC to modify these risk factors regardless of LDL-C level. Finally, for people in lower-risk categories, recent clinical trials do not modify the goals and cutpoints of therapy.

              ETAPAS DEL CAMBIO, BENEFICIOS Y BARRERAS EN ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA Y CONSUMO DE FRUTAS Y VERDURAS EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS DE SANTIAGO DE CHILE

              Como línea base para diseñar intervenciones de promoción y educación, se determinaron las etapas del cambio, beneficios y barreras relacionados con la actividad física y el consumo de frutas y verduras en 449 estudiantes universitarios de ambos géneros de Santiago. Se utilizaron instrumentos validados internacionalmente y adaptados en el país. En actividad física, los hombres resultaron significativamente más activos que las mujeres. Los beneficios más destacados por ellos fueron "me hace sentir bien" o "me entretiene", en tanto el primero y "perder peso" fueron más frecuentes en las mujeres. En ambos géneros, la principal barrera fue la falta de tiempo. El 58% comía 1 a 2 porciones de frutas y verduras al día y sólo el 5% alcanzaba las 5 porciones. El principal beneficio de comer frutas y verduras se asoció a "estar sano/a", y las principales barreras fueron "me da flojera prepararlas" o "se me olvida comerlas", en ambos géneros. Estos resultados se utilizarán en el diseño de intervenciones en promoción y educación para estudiantes universitarios
