    Introducción: un cambio importante en salud pública que tuvo el siglo XXI fue el espectro del aumento del peso corporal como una pandemia. En la población de jóvenes y adultos en Colombia, 1 de cada 3 tiene sobrepeso (37,7 %), mientras que 1 de cada 5 es obeso (18,7 %). Metodología: se realizó un estudio multicéntrico descriptivo de corte transversal, en el que participaron tres universidades colombianas. El análisis de los datos se llevó a cabo mediante análisis descriptivo para las variables de interés. Resultados: se seleccionaron 233 estudiantes de Medicina. Al analizar el índice de masa corporal (IMC), la mayoría de estos se encontraba en un rango de normalidad, con un 75 %, seguida por un 19,9 % correspondiente a los que clasificaron como sobrepeso. Con respecto a la actividad física, encontramos que el 46,7 % de los individuos realizan un alto nivel de actividad física. Discusión: nuestro estudio es acorde con la realidad global, ya que el 19,9 % de la población estudiada tiene sobrepeso. En cuanto a la actividad física, el 58,7 % lleva una vida sedentaria, evidenciada por el tiempo que se permanece sentado; de esta población, 110 individuos permanecen entre 6 y 10 horas sentados. Conclusiones: la investigación sobre los factores de riesgo cardiovascular, obesidad y metabolismo cada vez se centra más en empezar a analizar estas variables desde sus inicios para evitar en un futuro la enfermedad cardiovascular

    •We report INICC device-associated module data of 50 countries from 2010-2015.•We collected prospective data from 861,284 patients in 703 ICUs for 3,506,562 days.•DA-HAI rates and bacterial resistance were higher in the INICC ICUs than in CDC-NHSN's.•Device utilization ratio in the INICC ICUs was similar to CDC-NHSN's. Background: We report the results of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) surveillance study from January 2010-December 2015 in 703 intensive care units (ICUs) in Latin America, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and Western Pacific. Methods: During the 6-year study period, using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network (CDC-NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI), we collected prospective data from 861,284 patients hospitalized in INICC hospital ICUs for an aggregate of 3,506,562 days. Results: Although device use in INICC ICUs was similar to that reported from CDC-NHSN ICUs, DA-HAI rates were higher in the INICC ICUs: in the INICC medical-surgical ICUs, the pooled rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection, 4.1 per 1,000 central line-days, was nearly 5-fold higher than the 0.8 per 1,000 central line-days reported from comparable US ICUs, the overall rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was also higher, 13.1 versus 0.9 per 1,000 ventilator-days, as was the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection, 5.07 versus 1.7 per 1,000 catheter-days. From blood cultures samples, frequencies of resistance of Pseudomonas isolates to amikacin (29.87% vs 10%) and to imipenem (44.3% vs 26.1%), and of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to ceftazidime (73.2% vs 28.8%) and to imipenem (43.27% vs 12.8%) were also higher in the INICC ICUs compared with CDC-NHSN ICUs. Conclusions: Although DA-HAIs in INICC ICU patients continue to be higher than the rates reported in CDC-NSHN ICUs representing the developed world, we have observed a significant trend toward the reduction of DA-HAI rates in INICC ICUs as shown in each international report. It is INICC's main goal to continue facilitating education, training, and basic and cost-effective tools and resources, such as standardized forms and an online platform, to tackle this problem effectively and systematically
