RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the alcohol, and tobacco consumption and sports practice for Mexican and Spanish and its relation to sensation seeking. Methods: 309 university students participated, 154 Spanish and 155 Mexican. We used the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS-V), the health survey Short-Form 36 (SF-36) and a lifestyle questionnaire conducted ad hoc. RESULTS: Mexican Students often have lower consumption of tobacco, alcohol and binge drinking and more frequent sport than Spanish students and receive higher scores on the SF-36. Disinhibition is a risk factor for alcohol consumption and physical inactivity and SSS-V for tobacco consumption. CONCLUSIONS: The consumption of alcohol, tobacco and physical inactivity in universities in Spain and Mexico is low. The SSS-V full scale is a predictor of tobacco consumption and dimension DES of alcohol consumption and physical inactivity.

A fibromialgia (FM) é uma síndrome crônica que se caracteriza por dor musculoesquelética generalizada, que provoca acentuada redução na capacidade física dos pacientes afetando a sua saúde e qualidade de vida. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a capacidade física dos pacientes com FM relacionada com a gravidade da enfermidade. MÉTODO: Estudo descritivo transversal sobre uma amostra de 66 mulheres com FM (idade: 51,79 ± 8,02 anos) e um grupo de controle de mulheres saudáveis (idade 50,26 ± 8,75 anos). Analisou-se a amplitude física mediante bateria de provas físicas específicas com aplicação de questionários: Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) e o Short-Form Healthy Survey (SF-36), na versão espanhola. RESULTADOS: As mulheres saudáveis apresentam os valores de amplitude física superiores aos das mulheres enfermas com (p < 0,05) exceto na prova de dinamometria manual. Exclusivamente na prova de agilidade se pôde discriminar os pacientes de FM segundo a gravidade da enfermidade (p = 0,021). A qualidade de vida nos pacientes com FM se encontra muito deteriorada em comparação (p = 0,021) com as mulheres saudáveis e os valores que normatizam a sociedade espanhola. CONCLUSÕES: A análise das capacidades físicas é um elemento de relevância clínica na avaliação complementar da fibromialgia.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, which causes significant reduction in physical capacity of patients and affects their health and quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the physical capacity of FM patients correlated with the severity of the disease. METHOD: A transversal descriptive study on a sample of 66 women with FM (age: 51.79 ± 02.08 years) and a control group of healthy women (age 50.26 ± 8.75years). Physical amplitude was assessed by a battery of specific physical evidence and application of questionnaires: the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Short-Form Healthy Survey (SF-36) in the Spanish version. RESULTS: healthy women have higher values of physical amplitude than sick women (p <0.05), except for in manual dynamometry proof. Exclusively in the agility test the patients with FM could be identified according to their disease severity (p = 0.021).Quality of life in patients with FM is very deteriorated compared (p = 0.021) to healthy women and values that regulate the Spanish society. CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of the physical capacities is an additional assessment on the clinical relevance of fibromyalgia.
