Objective: To determine the relationship between anthropometric indicators of obesity, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), waist-height ratio (WHR), and frequency of consumption of snacks, sugary drinks, and alcoholic beverages in university students. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 646 students aged 18 to 20 years from the Technical University of Ambato. Weight, height, waist circumference, and hip circumference were measured. A survey was also conducted to provide sociodemographic information and frequency of consumption of snacks, sugary drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Sociodemographic characteristics and anthropometric indicators of obesity were correlated with consumption of snacks, sugary drinks, and alcohol. Results: According to BMI, 5.7% of university students were obese (4.8% grade I, 0.3% grade II, and 0.6% grade III). 9.1% of university students showed cardiometabolic risk with WC, 12.5% with WHR, and 24.3% with WHR. All of these indicators were much more pronounced in women than in men. Inadequate consumption of sugary drinks and alcohol was associated with male gender (p=0.000). Alcohol consumption was found to be higher in the Faculty of Administrative Sciences (p=0.000), urban areas (p=0.002) , and those with a lower-middle socioeconomic status (p=0.029). Additionally, inadequate alcohol consumption was associated with an increased WHR (p=0.042). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that alcohol consumption contributes to obesity because it promotes the accumulation of abdominal fat (WHR), which leads to an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

Arterial hypertension is considered a chronic non-communicable disease, associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, causing 9.4 million deaths per year worldwide. In underdeveloped countries, its prevalence is increasing and access to medication is decreasing, estimating a higher prevalence (8%) for the year 2030. Knowledge and adequate pharmacological treatment of this disease are important for its timely health control. There are several components involved in poor drug adherence such as different comorbidities, level of education, sex of the patients, among others. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors related to adequate pharmacological adherence in older adults. This observational, descriptive and correlational study seeks to determine the relationship between sex, age, marital status and level of education with the level of pharmacological adherence. The sample consisted of 104 participants, where the highest percentage of hypertensive patients were women (77.9%). Eighty - eight point five percent had partial adherence and 11.5% had poor adherence to medication. There was no statistically significant association between the level of adherence and the sociodemographic variables of the participants. It is necessary to educate patients by stressing the importance of continuity of pharmacological treatment to reduce or even prevent the development of other associated diseases.

The risk of developing obesity associated with the consumption of processed and ultraprocessed foods leads to a multifactorial problem influenced by environmental, biological, psychosocial, socioeconomic, and political factors. The main objective of the review is to analyze the evidence that exists regarding the relationship between obesity and the consumption of ultra-processed foods. To achieve this, a bibliographic review was conducted to link the study variables; primary searches were conducted in databases such as Google Scholar, Elsevier, Eric, PubMed, Scielo, Mendeley, Dialnet, and Latindex, from the periods 2020-2024 by 90%. Among the results found in this review, the need to address the consumption of ultra-processed foods as a determining factor in the increase of obesity prevalence worldwide stands out. The evidence highlights the need to implement effective policies and strategies that promote healthy and balanced eating, as well as public awareness of the risks associated with excessive consumption of these highly processed products. Additionally, it is important to consider the socioeconomic and political factors that influence dietary consumption patterns, in order to develop appropriate and balanced interventions that address disparities in access to nutritious food. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on the need to address the structural and political determinants that perpetuate the availability and promotion of ultra-processed foods, including regulating the advertising of unhealthy foods, promoting sustainable agriculture, and creating healthier food environments.

The aim of this research was to describe the processes in the nutritional management of children with obesity, through a systematic bibliographic review in the main scientific databases. Original and review scientific articles, clinical cases, graduate and postgraduate theses, with qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. The PRISMA method was used for the elaboration, as it is a systematic methodology for this type of review. Inclusion criteria: context, temporality, subject matter in relation to the topic and reliability. Exclusion criteria: studies on pharmacology, unfounded research, journals without indexation, publication dates outside the interval. The main results indicate that the nutritional management of an obese child depends on a healthy and balanced diet, physical exercise, reduction of sugary drinks and saturated fats. The education of nutritional aspects in the family, caregivers and schools is a strategy in prevention, the management of a public policy from the individual level to the government entities are measures in prevention. Primary intervention with a multidisciplinary team allows an effective approach to treatment

Covid-19 brings with it new questions about the evolution of health status in the population, several studies are beginning to point out new conditions related to risk factors such as low physical activity and inadequate eating habits (1). Based on this problem, this research is aimed at verifying whether there are alterations in the lipid profile associated with risk factors such as dietary habits and physical activity during the pandemic caused by Covid-19. In order to obtain results, a survey was applied, which evaluates the type of diet and physical activity from the beginning of the pandemic until the day on which they went to the laboratory for cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL tests. The data collected from 65 patients between men and women between 25 and 55 years of age show that 66% have alterations in the lipid profile, while those who have no alterations correspond to 34%, identifying the problem of having unhealthy habits in 71% of the population, those patients considered physically inactive represent 62%. In Ecuador, research on the food insecurity experienced during the pandemic period emphasizes the low consumption of healthy foods (2). Physical activity had consequences during the period of confinement since there were restrictions for free mobility decreasing the ability to perform exercises such as jogging or walking outdoors (3). These results together with the values obtained in the laboratory were run in the SPSS program applying the chi-square test demonstrating that in the months during the pandemic there were statistically significant alterations (p= 0.000) in the lipid profile parameters caused by the increase in sedentary behavior and the consumption of unhealthy foods. Within the limits of this research, lipid profile values suggest alterations caused by dietary habits and physical activity modified during this period of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The present investigation is a descriptive study since data were collected on the type of food habits of the students who were subjected to their respective analysis (31) In addition, the investigation was of correlational type since a relation between the variables of the investigation was established that allowed us to establish and analyze results in such a way that the hypothesis was supported. (31) The objective was to determine the lipid profile of the students of the nursing career of the Technical University of Ambato related to their eating habits. For the information collection, and previous authorization of the participants, a survey was applied by Moreno J, whose reliability was 100%. In the same way, blood samples were taken to obtain the lipid profile of the participants. All the data were collected manually through the application of surveys and also the help of a laboratory was used for the sampling process and in this way to obtain the results of the lipid profile of each participant in order to assess them and relate them to the surveys conducted. It is concluded that the current state of health of the students of the Technical University of Ambato is in optimal conditions since their lipid values are mostly in ranges, however it is recommended to be aware of the type of food they consume daily and that if they continue with inadequate eating habits, they could in the future develop hyperlipidemias related to the increase in blood lipid values which would lead them to develop cerebrovascular diseases
