Prevalência de fatores de risco de natureza modificável para a ocorrência de diabetes mellitus tipo 2

Abstract

Estudo transversal realizado com estudantes universitários do curso de Enfermagem para identificação de fatores de risco para o diabetes tipo 2. Em relação ao nível de risco: 65% apresentavam risco baixo, 27%, risco zero, enquanto 7,5% exibiam risco alto. A história familiar de diabetes e hipertensão foi identificada em 45% da amostra. A prevalência de sedentarismo foi igual a 75%; de sobrepeso, igual a 15%, e de obesidade (IMC e ³25 kg/m²), igual a 5%. Verificaram-se ainda um menor consumo de alimentos ricos em fibras e o aumento do consumo de alimentos ricos em gorduras. Os dados levantados apontaram para a necessidade de investimentos em ações de promoção à saúde dentro da própria unidade de formação, como a criação de espaços próprios destinados à valorização da aquisição de novas práticas de saúde, através da ênfase à prática da atividade física, e incentivo à aquisição de hábitos alimentares saudáveis.

Pressão arterial, excesso de peso e nível de atividade física em estudantes de universidade pública

“…Studies conducted in Brazil reported rates similar to that of the present study, e.g. those found among nursing students in Rio de Janeiro, RJ 21 (20%), with 15% overweight and 5% obesity, and those among nutrition students in Dourado, MS (17%) 22 .…”

“…As regards waist circumference (WC), found of students with increased cardiometabolic risk, defined as a WC greater than 80 for women and greater than 94 for men, the proportion found in the present study (10.3%) was lower than that obtained by Simon et al 18 among students in Lubango (21.4%), and by Vilarinho et al 21 among nursing students (15%).…”

“…However, the prevalence of sedentary individuals in the study in Gurupi was lower than those found in other national and international studies. In this sense, some Brazilian case series with similar age ranges showed prevalences of sedentary individuals of 35.6% among nutrition students of São Paulo (Fisberg et al's study 25 ); of 75% among nursing students of Rio de Janeiro (Vilarinho et al's study 21 ); and of 78.9% among students from a private university in São Paulo (Rabelo et al's study 19 ). Considering that Rodrigues et al 8 explained that the prevalence of sedentary individuals in their study was lower than those found in other studies partly because the city of Gurupi has high temperatures and data were collected in the summer, we should expect similar results in our study, since the weather conditions of that city in Northern Brazil are similar to those in Teresina, where the present study was conducted.…”

Risk Factors for TYPE II Diabetes Mellitus: an Integrative Review

“…Thus, this review suggests there are still few publications on T2DM in adolescents and children, but the progression of the disease becomes a major concern worldwide. As for college student, there were several factors of risk for T2DM [18][19]. Stressing [18] physical inactivity, overweight, obesity, high blood glucose and arterial hypertension, pointing to physical inactivity as the most prevalent risk.…”

Diabetes mellitus: fatores associados entre usuários da Estratégia Saúde da Família

“…Researches focused on identifying risk factors for T2DM were developed by nurses involving students, university students and health workers (5)(6)(7)(8)(9) , highlighting the need to extend the study to other populations, which will provide subsidy for planning interventions which contribute to reduce or delay the appearance of the disease.…”
