Objective: Investigating the association between adherence to treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and sociodemographic, clinical and metabolic control variables. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 423 patients with diabetes mellitus. The Fisher's exact test and logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between adherence to treatment and the studied variables.Results: There was no association between adherence to treatment of T2DM and socio-demographic and clinical variables. It was found that total cholesterol and HbA1c were significantly associated with adherence to diet (p = 0.036) and exercise (p = 0.006). Conclusion: The chance of a patient with cholesterol within the recommended level adhering to diet is almost five times the chance of the patient in poor lipid control. The chance of patients with poor glycemic control adhering to exercise is almost twice the chance of those who keep adequate glycemic control. ResumoObjetivo: Investigar associação entre adesão ao tratamento do diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e controle metabólico. Métodos: Desenho cross seccional com 423 portadores de diabetes mellitus. Para verificar a associação entre adesão ao tratamento e as variáveis estudadas, utilizou-se teste exato de Fisher e modelos de regressão logística. Resultados: Não houve associação entre adesão ao tratamento do DM2 e variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas. Verificou-se que o colesterol total e a HbA1c apresentaram associação estatisticamente significativa com a adesão ao plano alimentar (p = 0.036) e de exercício físico (p = 0.006). Conclusão: A chance do paciente com colesterol dentro do valor recomendado apresentar adesão ao plano alimentar é quase cinco vezes a chance do paciente em mau controle lipídico. A chance dos pacientes com mau controle glicêmico apresentarem adesão ao exercício físico é quase duas vezes a chance daquele sem controle adequado da glicemia.

ABSTRACT:The aim in this research was to evaluate the sleep quality of college students in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. A crosssectional study was conducted with 701 students from the Universidade Federal do Ceará, from March to June 2011. We used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Most students presented poor subjective sleep quality (54%), sleep latency in less than 15 minutes (60.1%) and efficiency under 65% (99%). In the sample, the sleep duration was of 6.3 hours per day (SD±1.4 hours) (p<0.001). Data analysis revealed that a substantial portion of the college students (95.3%) surveyed presented poor sleep quality. It is essential to operationalize health promotion actions at the universities in such a way that the students construct their own quality of sleep. DESCRIPTORS: EVALUACIÓN DE LA CALIDAD DEL SUEÑO DE ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS DE FORTALEZA-CERESUMEN: El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la calidad del sueño de los estudiantes universitarios en Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Se realizó una encuesta con los estudiantes de 701 en la Universidad Federal de Ceará entre marzo y junio de 2011. Se utilizó el índice de la Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI). La mayoría de los estudiantes tenía una mala calidad subjetiva del sueño (54%), la latencia del sueño y la eficiencia de menos de 15 minutos (60,1%) y 65% (99%), respectivamente. La duración del sueño de la muestra fue de 6,3 horas por día (SD ± 1,4 horas) (p<0,001). El análisis de los siete componentes del PSQI mostró que una parte sustancial de los estudiantes universitarios encuestados (95,2%) tienen mala calidad del sueño. El análisis de datos reveló que una parte sustancial de la universidad investigado (95,3%) tenían mala calidad del sueño. DESCRIPTORES:Sueño. Transtornos del sueño. Estudiantes. Enfermería.

Objective:To evaluate the health-related quality of life of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, associating it with socio-demographic, clinical and biochemical variables.Method:Cross-sectional study with 92 adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. A form containing socio-demographic, clinical and biochemical variables was used, as well as the Diabetes Quality of Life for Youths questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for analysis.Results:Regarding socio-demographic variables, economic class showed statistically significant differences in relation to total Health Related Quality of Life (p-value =0.02) and the impact domain (p-value =0.009). However, the impact domain was more compromised. Diabetes-related complications (p-value =0.004), number of hospitalizations (p-value =0.01), number of daily insulin injections (p-value =0.02), glycated hemoglobin (p-value =0.002) and triglycerides (p-value =0.03) were associated with greater impairment of quality of life related to total health and greater dissatisfaction.Conclusion:Single male adolescents with lower level of education and high glycated hemoglobin levels were more likely to have lower health-related quality of life.

O estudo teve como objetivo identificar fatores de risco para diabetes tipo 2 (DM 2) em uma população de adolescentes de escolas particulares de Fortaleza, Brasil. Foram avaliados 794 alunos, de 12 a 17 anos, em doze escolas, nos meses de maio, junho, agosto e setembro de 2007. Aplicou-se um formulário abordando aspectos sociodemográficos, IMC, pressão arterial, glicemia capilar e sedentarismo. Aproximadamente 24% dos participantes tinham o IMC elevado, 65% eram sedentários e 51% tinham antecedentes familiares de DM 2. Naqueles com maior renda, 73,5% tinham antecedentes familiares de DM 2 (p=0,04). Por volta de 39% dos adolescentes apresentavam pelo menos dois fatores de risco para DM 2. A maior parte dos fatores de risco para DM 2, identificados neste estudo, são modificáveis, portanto passíveis de intervenções preventivas no contexto escolar.

Health indicators associated with poor sleep quality among university students RESUMEN Objetivo: Asociar la calidad del sueño de los universitarios brasileños con los indicadores de salud. Método: Estudio transversal desarrollado con una muestra aleatoria de 662 estudiantes universitarios de Fortaleza, Brasil. Fueron recogidos datos sociodemográficos, indicadores de salud (tabaquismo, alcoholismo, sedentarismo, estado nutritivo y niveles séricos de colesterol) y el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh mediante un cuestionario autoadministrado. Las muestras sanguí-neas fueron analizadas en un laboratorio clínico y para evaluar la magnitud de las asociaciones se adoptó la Regresión de Poisson. Resultados: En los universitarios que fuman diariamente la ocurrencia de mala calidad del sueño fue superior en su relación con los no fumadores (p<0,001). Sin embargo, la razón de prevalencia fue de aproximadamente 1. Conclusión: Las probabilidades de presentar mala calidad del sueño fueron prácticamente idénticas entre tabaquistas y etilistas. DESCRIPTORES ABSTRACTObjective: to associate the sleep quality of Brazilian undergraduate students with health indicators. Method: A cross-sectional study was developed with a random sample of 662 undergraduate students from Fortaleza, Brazil. The demographic data, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and health data indicators (smoking, alcoholism, sedentary lifestyle, nutritional condition and serum cholesterol) were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Blood was collected at a clinical laboratory. In order to estimate the size of the associations, a Poisson Regression was used. Results: For students who are daily smokers, the occurrence of poor sleep was higher than in nonsmokers (p<0.001). Prevalence rate values were nevertheless close to 1. Conclusion: The likelihood of poor sleep is almost the same in smokers and in alcoholics.

Objectiveidentify the modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in college students and associate these factors with their sociodemographic variables. Methodcross-sectional study, involving 702 college students from Fortaleza-CE, Brazil. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, physical exercise data and blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose levels were collected. Resultsthe most prevalent risk factor was sedentariness, followed by overweight, central obesity, high fasting plasma glucose and arterial hypertension. A statistically significant association was found between overweight and sex (p=0.000), age (p=0.004) and marital status (p=0.012), as well as between central obesity and age (p=0.018) and marital status (p=0.007) and between high fasting plasma glucose and sex (p=0.033). Conclusiondistinct risk factors were present in the study population, particularly sedentariness and overweight.

EL CUMPLIMIENTO DEL TRATAMIENTO CON ANTIDIABÉTICOS ORALES EN USUARIOS DE LA ATENCIÓN BÁSICARESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el cumplimiento del tratamiento farmacológico por los usuarios de antidiabéticos orales. En la investigación participaron 437 pacientes diabéticos de ambos sexos, con edades entre 18 a 92 años, de 12 unidades básicas de salud de la ciudad de Fortaleza -Ceará, Brasil, de marzo a junio de 2009. Con el fin de evaluar la adhesión a los antidiabéticos orales se aplicaron en los hogares dos pruebas: el Test de Batalla y el test para medir la adhesión al tratamiento, además del recuento de pastillas. Se constató que el 74,6%, 86,3% y 71,2% se consideran no cumplidores del tratamiento, de acuerdo a las pruebas aplicadas, respectivamente. Entre los que no cumplen el tratamiento con antidiabéticos, el 95% faltaron a las consultas del programa de tratamiento para la diabetes (p = 0,000) y el 76% presentan los niveles de glucosa en la sangre más altos que los valores recomendados (p = 0,013). Tal vez el núcleo del problema está en su relación profesional/cliente y en la educación para la salud. Por lo tanto, el rescate de las bases de la promoción de la salud debe impregnar la actuación de los profesionales que intervienen en el cuidado de los pacientes diabéticos.
