Self-Rated Health Status and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in a Sample of Schoolchildren from Bogotá, Colombia. The FUPRECOL Study

To evaluate the relationship between Self-Rated Health (SRH) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in a sample of children and adolescents enrolled in official schools in Bogotá, Colombia. A cross-sectional study was performed with 7402 children and adolescents between 9 and 17 years of age. Participants were asked to rate their health based on eight validated questions, addressing the participants propensity for headache, stomach-ache, backache, feeling-low, irritability/bad mood, nervousness, sleeping-difficulties, and dizziness. The choices were “rarely or never”, “almost every month”, “almost every week”, and “more than once a week/about every day”. Participants performed the international course-navette shuttle run test to estimate CRF, and cut-off points for age and gender were used to categorize the healthy/unhealthy fitness zone according to the FITNESSGRAM® criteria. Overall, 16.4% of those surveyed reported a perception of irritability/bad mood “more than once a week/about every day”, followed by feeling-low and nervousness (both with 9.9%). Dizziness had the lowest prevalence with a percentage of 6.9%. Unhealthy CRF in boys increased the likelihood of headaches by 1.20 times, stomach aches by 1.31 times, feeling-low by 1.29 times, nervousness by 1.24 times, and dizziness by 1.29 times. In girls, unhealthy CRF increased the likelihood of headaches by 1.19 times, backache by 1.26 times, feeling-low by 1.28 times, irritability/bad mood by 1.17 times, sleeping-difficulties by 1.20 times, and dizziness by 1.27 times. SRH was associated with CRF in both genders. Early identification of children and adolescents with low CRF levels will permit interventions to promote healthy behaviors and prevent future diseases during adulthood.The FUPRECOL Study was possible due to the financial support provided by the Instituto Colombiano para el Desarrollo de la Ciencia y la Tecnología “Francisco José de Caldas” COLCIENCIAS (Contract No. 671-2014 Code 122265743978)

Relação entre tipos de colégio e níveis de ansiedade numa amostra de estudantes bogotanos

Introduction: Anxiety is a normal human response, but becomes pathological when it persists and endures over time. According to national and global studies, this is one of the disorders that has increased, apparently and more frequently affecting young people. Objectives: To determine the relationship between school types and levels of anxiety, and find differences or similarities in gender and grade, according to school type in a sample of Colombian children. Methodology: Quantitative, cross-sectional research, with a descriptive scope by comparing groups. The sample consisted of 658 schoolchildren from public and private schools between third grade of primary education and seventh grade of high school; the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) in the version validated for Colombia was used. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the ratings for the concern component, with higher scores on the sample of students from private schools, higher serenity scores for males and higher concern scores for females. Moreover, there are no differences in levels and types of anxiety according to school grade. Conclusions: There are higher levels of anxiety in children enrolled in private schools and higher levels of concern in school girls.Introducción: la ansiedad es una respuesta humana normal, pero se convierte en patológica cuando persiste y se mantiene en el tiempo. Según estudios nacionales y mundiales, este es uno de los trastornos que ha aumentado, al aparecer cada vez con mayor frecuencia en la población joven. Objetivos: determinar la relación entre tipos de colegio y niveles de ansiedad, así como hallar diferencias o similitudes en cuanto al sexo y grado escolar, según tipo de colegio en una muestra de escolares colombianos.

Cognitive problem-solving abilities and speech acts in children: an analysis in vulnerable family contexts

The goal of this study was to analyze the cognitive abilities involved in interpersonal problemsolving and their connection with speech acts in children from contexts of social vulnerability. The sample included 120 schoolchildren between the ages of 8-13 in Mendoza, Argentina. The results showed that the children from more vulnerable family backgrounds, presented significantly less expressive speech acts than children at low vulnerability. It was also observed that displayed significantly poorer identification of emotions and anticipated significantly more negative consequences. In contrast, children who had high level of protective factors identified significantly more emotions, tended to generate more alternatives and anticipated less negative consequences. These results highlight the importance of carrying out early evaluations in contexts of risk, taking a preventive approach, and articulating knowledge from the fields of psychology and linguistics in order to develop new kinds of intervention and support strategies destined to children in school contexts.Fil: Morelato, Gabriela Susana.

Young people, young adults and Binge Drinking

Introduction and Purpose The consumption of alcohol among young people and young adults has undergone, in recent decades, a sharp upsurge with the increasingly frequent intake of large quantities of alcohol. The aim of our study was to investigate socio-demographic, economic and behavioural factors that have a major impact on the voluntary alcohol habit in young people. Methods The survey was conducted via administration of an anonymous questionnaire based on “the WHO Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test”, disseminated on-line , to young people and young adults (aged 18 to 35) Results We examined a sample of 365 subjects. Consumption of wine and beer were predominant  followed by super-alcohol mixes. We found correlations between alcohol use and the following variables: marital status (p<0.001), parental education(mother p<0.05; father p<0.001), income level(p<0.05), physical activity (p<0.05) and voluptuous habits(smoke and coffee: p<0.001.The  5% of men and 1% of women had car accidents during the previous year due to alcohol use and 15% said they did not remember what happened in an alcoholic evening once or twice a month. Conclusions The phenomenon of alcohol consummation is deeply ingrained in our reality, with dangerous episodes of binge drinking in young adults with a higher prevalence  in the female sex

Toxocariasis in Honduras: Seroprevalence and Risk of Infection in Schoolchildren from a Coastal Community in Tela, Honduras

Background: Human toxocariasis is a globally distributed zoonotic disease mainly caused by Toxocara canis, a common intestinal parasite of domestic dogs. In Honduras, favorable conditions for T. canis are widespread and dog infection is widely known. However, epidemiological data for animal and human infection are severely lacking. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of anti-Toxocara antibodies in rural Honduran schoolchildren and to identify socioeconomic and biological factors associated with seropositivity. A secondary objective of comparing performance of the screening with the confirmatory test was also set. Methods: Two cross-sectional studies conducted in 2015 and 2017 among schoolchildren living in rural Honduras. Demographic and socio-epidemiological data were collected though individual interviews. A blood sample was drawn to determine serum anti-Toxocara antibodies using a screening and a confirmatory test, TES-ELISA and Western blotting (WB), respectively. Eosinophilia was determined by complete haematological assay. Results: Eighty-eight children completed the study. An overall prevalence of 90.9% was found by the TESELISA however, the confirmatory Western blot revealed a prevalence of 88.6% for anti-Toxocara antibodies. TES-ELISA and WB showed an agreement of k = 0.87, an indicator of an almost perfect agreement between the two diagnostic tools. Most WB-positive children were so for the lower molecular protein bands, suggesting specificity for T. canis infection. Higher levels of eosinophilia were observed in immunoreactive children and a statistically significant difference between the geometric means of circulating eosinophils in seropositive versus seronegative children was found. None of the socioeconomic factors analyzed were found statistically associated with antibody positivity. Conclusions: The study confirms that T. canis transmission is present in Honduras and is affecting children in the rural countryside. The high exposure as determined by high antibody titres and eosinophilia levels among the studied children is a serious concern. Clinical examination of these children to assess their health status is warranted

Variables psicosociales relacionadas a la obesidad infantil y adaptaciones al ejercicio físico intervalado de alta intensidad en escolares

La obesidad infantil se relaciona con problemas psicosociales tales como deficiencias en la convivencia social, la calidad de vida y diversos biomarcadores. Para el tratamiento de la obesidad existe evidencia que el entrenamiento intervalado de alta intensidad (HIIT), es factible para mejorar biomarcadores y la calidad de vida en población adulta principalmente. En población escolar, la evidencia es más limitada, originando un vacío respecto a su aplicabilidad. El propósito principal de la investigación ha sido determinar las variables que están siendo afectadas por la obesidad infantil desde una perspectiva global y determinar los efectos de juegos basados en HIIT aplicado en clases de Educación Física sobre el estado ponderal, la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria y la presión arterial de escolares con sobrepeso y obesidad.Obesity is associated with psychosocial problems such as deficiencies in social coexistence, quality life and biomarkers. For the treatment of obesity, there is evidence that high intensity interval training (HIIT) is feasible to improve biomarkers and quality life in the adult population. In the school population, the evidence is more limited, creating a gap regarding its applicability. The main purpose of the research has been to determine the variables that are being affected by childhood obesity from a global perspective and determine the effects of HIIT-based games applied in Physical Education classes on weight status, cardiorespiratory fitness and blood pressure of overweight and obese school children.Tesis Univ.
