Is “Leptin Resistance” Another Key Resistance to Manage Type 2 Diabetes?
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2020)
Although novel pharmacological options for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) have been observed to modulate the functionality of several key organs in glucose homeostasis, successful regulation of insulin resistance (IR), body weight management, and pharmacological treatment of obesity remain notable problems in endocrinology. Leptin may be a pivotal player in this scenario, as an adipokine which centrally regulates appetite and energy balance. In obesity, excessive caloric intake promotes a low-grade inflammatory response, which ...
Intención hacia la actividad física y comportamiento sedentario en población adulta durante los 4 meses de confinamiento por la pandemia
(Ediciones Universidad Simón BolívarFacultad de Ciencias de la Salud, 2020)
Antecedentes: La práctica de actividad física sigue siendo deficiente en la gran mayoría de las personas. Las múltiples investigaciones evidencian que existe un incremento de la inactividad física y las conductas sedentarias a nivel mundial, las cuales traen como consecuencias la aparición de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT), tales como: enfermedades cardiovasculares, cáncer, obesidad, diabetes tipo 2, entre otras, principalmente la obesidad la cual es considerada como una pandemia que afecta especialmente a países occidentales, ...
The A54T polymorphism in the FABP2 gene and its relationship with obesity
(Saber UCV, Universidad Central de Venezuela, 2020)
Introduction: Obesity is a complex, multifactorial,
and mostly preventable disease affecting, along
with overweight, more than a third of today’s world
population. Variations in the nucleotide sequence of
both metabolic and appetite control genes have been
counted among these non-modifiable factors and are
associated with BMI, lipidic profile, and abdominal
circumference alterations. Methods: An analytical,
non-experimental, and transversal research was
done with the purpose to assess the presence of A54T
polymorphism in the FABP gene ...
Anthropometric parameters regarding the nutritional status of schoolchildren
(Advanced Research Trentz, 2021)
Objective. This study assesses the anthropometric parameters concerning the nutritional status of and
establishes the prevalence of excessive weight, obesity, and malnutrition among schoolchildren in an educational
institution on Colombia’s northern coast. Materials and methods. A quantitative correlational research was conducted.
The sample included 556 children aged between 6 and 11 years (310 boys and 246 girls). Their weight, height, BMI, and
nutritional status were evaluated, and the BMI/age variable (Z-score)was studied to determine the ...
Overweight or Obesity: Serum Lipids in a University Population of Barranquilla Colombia
(Advanced Research Trentz, 2021)
Introduction: According to the World Health Organization, overweight and obesity occur due to an abnormal
or excessive accumulation of body fat that is harmful to health. During childhood and adolescence, risk factors such as
dyslipidemia or obesity are detected, the maintenance of which in the adult stage has been verified, indicating that
detection should be started as early as possible. It is necessary to carry out an anthropometric <- nutritional evaluation to
detect a deficit or excess weight in time. A study on the topic of chronic ...
Dataset for estimation of muscle Dysmorphia in individuals from Colombia
(Elsevier, 2020)
This paper presents data collected through a questionnaire for the estimation of body dysmorphic disorder known as vigorexy, weight level and levels of exercise dependence in individuals from Barranquilla, Colombia who attend local gyms, based on their physical activity, food supplements eat- ing habits, psychological pressure, and risk of muscle dys- morphia. The Data contains 8 tributes and 200 records; la- belling obesity range according to WHO into normal, over- weight or obesity. All data was collected in person and di- rectly from users. ...
Overweight in schoolchildren and nutrient intake
(Advanced Research Trentz, 2021)
Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one of the most serious health problems of the 21st
century is childhood obesity. In 2016, more than 400 million children and adolescents between the age of 5 and 19 were
overweight or obese. The aim of this study is to evaluate the consumption, habits and dietary practices of schoolchildren
who suffer from malnutrition due to overweight or obesity.
Methods: descriptive, correlational and prospective study using a quantitative approach. The sample size was 82 girls
and boys who ...
The effect of comorbidities on glycemic control among Colombian adults with diabetes mellitus: a longitudinal approach with real-world data
(BMC, 2021)
Background: Achieving an optimal glycemic control has been described to reduce the incidence of diabetes
mellitus (DM) related complications. The association between comorbidities and glycemic control remains unclear.
Our aim is to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on glycemic control in people living with DM.
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study on data from the National Registry of Chronic Kidney Disease from
2014 to 2019 in Colombia. The outcome was poor glycemic control (PGC = HbA1c ≥7.0%). The association
between each comorbidity ...

transversal, con fase de relación. En el presente estudio se evidencio que la
población menor de cinco años del municipio de Puerto Colombia (Atlántico), se
encuentra en riesgo, porque el porcentaje en la variable P/E es de un 28,9%

Dataset for the estimation of a new body fat measurement method
(Ediciones Universidad Simón BolívarFacultad de Ciencias de la Salud, 2021-06)
Due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and its nega- tive consequences worldwide on public health, body compo- sition analysis is a central pillar to assess the nutritional sta- tus. Scientists could use datasets to develop a new body fat measurement formula. Using bioelectrical impedance analy- sis, we analyzed the total body composition of 345 patients (234 men and 111 women) aged between 18 and 60 years residing in the metropolitan area of Barranquilla, Colombia. They have the potential for predictive formula analysis en- hancing the ...
