Relación entre los ritmos biológicos y la obesidad abdominal en población adulta del Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo de la ciudad de Guayaquil 2017.

Abstract

The objective was to analize the relationship between biological rhythms and abdominal obesity in a population aged 25 to 45 years of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital in Guayaquil city, 2017. This study is non-experimental design and transversal type, with cases and controls, participated 200 patients paired by age and sex (100 cases and 100 controls). Statistical software STATA 14.0 was used, bivariate analysis was performed with (Student T tests, Chi Square and Person tests). Anthropometric measurements were performed ( weight, height, perimeter waist and hip, fat mass), clinics (blood pressure), dietary intake (reminder of 24 h), physical activity, and validated surveys to determine the Chrono type. It was found that the cases tend to be more evening (19%) with respect to the controls (12%) However these differences were not statistically significant (P = 0,182), the controls have a more acceptable sleep quality than the cases (P = 0.0044), Also the controls usually have meal schedules (at breakfast) earlier than the cases (P = 0.02). Thus it was also observed that the cases are less active (31.3%) than the controls 74 (%) (P < 0). It is concluded that abdominal obesity is related to meal tines and sleep quality it is recommended to have established schedules for them consumption of meals and having good sleep hygiene as preventative measures, along with a good lifestyle to prevent abdominal obesity.
