RESUMEN
Objetivo: describir los patrones de actividad física de una cohorte de gestantes de nuestro medio y explorar su asociación con la ganancia de peso en cada uno de los trimestres del embarazo. Método: estudio descriptivo longitudinal sobre una muestra de 151 mujeres. Se utilizó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física para evaluar la actividad física durante el embarazo en función del volumen, intensidad y ámbito de realización. Se llevaron a cabo diferentes modelos de regresión lineal múltiple para analizar la asociación entre actividad física y ganancia de peso gestacional. Resultados: la actividad física disminuyó durante el embarazo, tanto en tiempo como en intensidad. El índice de masa corporal pre-gestacional fue el principal factor asociado con una menor ganancia de peso a lo largo de todo el embarazo. La influencia de la actividad física sobre la ganancia de peso gestacional se limitó al tercer trimestre del embarazo en el que se observó una asociación inversa entre ambas variables. Conclusión: los resultados de este estudio muestran un importante descenso de la actividad física en la época del embarazo y sugieren una influencia limitada de ésta sobre la ganancia de peso gestacional.
Objective: to describe the physical activity patterns of a cohort comprised by pregnant women from our environment and to explore its association with weight gain in each of the trimesters of pregnancy. Methods: a descriptive and longitudinal study conducted with a sample of 151 women. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess physical activity during pregnancy based on volume, intensity and setting where it is performed. Different multiple linear regression models were performed to analyze the association between physical activity and gestational weight gain Results: physical activity decreased during pregnancy, both in terms of time and intensity. Pre-gestational Body Mass Index was the main factor associated with lower weight gain throughout pregnancy. The influence of physical activity on gestational weight gain was limited to the third trimester of pregnancy, where an inverse association was observed between both variables. Conclusion: the results of this study show an important reduction in physical activity during pregnancy and suggest that it exerts a limited influence on gestational weight gain

Quality of life (QOL) is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been used to study different aspects of people's lives, including physical and psychological wellbeing, financial independence, social relationships, personal beliefs and living situation. In this study, we aimed to assess the QOL of a group of Spanish university students and identify associated factors. METHOD: We completed a cross-sectional study of the QOL of 868 university students using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. In addition, data regarding sociodemographic information and self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short version), diet (Spanish Index of Healthy Eating), alcohol consumption (CAGE questionnaire) and sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) were collected. RESULTS: A total of 66.2% of participants assessed their QOL positively, while 58.8% favorably evaluated their overall health. Students reported the highest scores for the physical health domain of QOL, whereas they gave the lowest scores for the psychological health domain. Age was inversely associated with QOL. Higher self-esteem and satisfaction with academic performance, as well as sleep and diet quality, were directly associated with higher QOL. The physical health domain of QOL was scored more highly by participants who had a healthy body weight or those who reported moderate levels of physical activity. Higher scores in the social relationships domain of QOL were directly linked to alcohol intake, smoking and low body weight in addition to being inversely associated with screen time. The psychological domain of QOL was lower for those who were overweight or lived alone. CONCLUSION: Many sociodemographic, academic and behavioral variables are associated with university students' QOL. The present findings underscore the need to direct further initiatives toward identifying and overcoming barriers to increased QOL for university students.

While it has long been recognized that diet is a leading behavioral risk factor for human health, recent scientific findings have also suggested that diet and sleep quality may be connected. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the association between diet and sleep quality among a group of Spanish university students. To do so, a cross-sectional study of 868 students was carried out. Sleep quality was assessed using the Spanish version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while diet was assessed using the Spanish Healthy Eating Index (SHEI). The study revealed a noteworthy rate of bad sleepers (51.6%) and students whose diet needed modifications (82.2%). Unhealthy eaters were more likely to have poor sleep quality (aOR = 4.20; CI 95%: 2.07-8.52). The unbalanced intake of vegetables (aOR = 1.63; CI 95%: 1.14-2.34), fruits (aOR = 4.08; CI 95%: 2.90-5.74), dairy products (aOR = 1.96; CI 95%: 1.41-2.72), lean meats (aOR = 1.82; CI 95%: 1.19-2.78), legumes (aOR = 1.43; CI 95%: 1.00-2.02), sweets (aOR = 1.60; CI 95%: 1.13-2.25) and sugary soft drinks (aOR = 1.46; CI 95%: 1.07-1.99) was associated with lower sleep quality.

Given that there is only a limited body of evidence available concerning the dietary habits of Spanish university students, the present study assesses the quality of this group's diet, their adherence to the National Food-Based Dietary Guidelines, and the predictive factors of their diet quality. To do so, a cross-sectional study was performed on a sample of 1055 students. The quality of the participants' diets was then analysed by using the Spanish Healthy Eating Index, and then their level of compliance was assessed in light of the dietary recommendations put forth by the Spanish Society for Community Nutrition. According to these standards, only 17.4% of the participants had a healthy diet. The level of compliance with the recommendations was poor, highlighting especially the low levels of "fruit" and "vegetables" that they consumed as well as high levels of "cold meats and cuts" and "sweets". The factors that predicted a worse diet are being male, living alone, low levels of physical activity, smoking, high alcohol intake, leading a sedentary lifestyle, psychological distress, and insomnia (p < 0.005). Furthermore, participants with low or high body weights showed signs of a higher quality diet (p < 0.001). The present findings suggest that a significant proportion of university students ought to change their dietary habits; these also attest to the importance of developing strategies that are directly targeted at university students in order to promote a healthy diet.

(1) Background: To examine the prevalence, and associated factors of, problematic Internet use in a sample of Spanish university students. (2) Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study of a convenience sample of 698 university students. Self-esteem, alcohol consumption, perceived social support, depression, anxiety, stress and problematic Internet use were evaluated using the Rosenberg, CAGE, DUKE-UNC-11, DASS-21 and Young's Internet Addiction Test, respectively. (3) Results: Problematic internet use was reported by 21% of respondents. Risk of problematic Internet use was independently associated with the preferred use of the smartphone, time of exposure to the Internet, less perceived social support, problematic alcohol consumption and symptoms of stress and anxiety. We found significant association between problematic internet use and time of exposure to the Internet, residential status, alcohol consumption, self-esteem, perceived social support and psychological distress, after bivariate analysis. (4) Conclusions: A considerable prevalence of problematic Internet use was found; in our sample problematic Internet use was associated with stress, alcohol consumption, anxiety and perceived social support. Strategies aimed at the early identification of problematic Internet use may lead to an improvement in the psychosocial health of the university student population.

OBJECTIVE: to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a cohort of workers and to quantify its association with compliance with the Mediterranean diet follow-up. METHOD: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on a cohort of 23,729 workers. Clinical data from annual medical examinations and the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener were used to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet. RESULTS: 51.3% of the participants showed good adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The multivariate analysis showed an inverse and significant association between the follow-up of the Mediterranean diet and the prevalence of abdominal obesity (Odds Ratio = 0.64, 95% CI 0.56; 0.73), dyslipidemia (Odds Ratio = 0.55, 95% CI 0.42; 0.73), and metabolic syndrome (Odds Ratio = 0.76, 95% CI 0.67; 0.86). CONCLUSIONS: our results suggest that the Mediterranean diet is potentially effective in promoting cardiovascular health. Implementing the interventions promoting the Mediterranean diet in the working population seems justified.

Introducción: existe evidencia creciente que relaciona la alimentación con la salud psicológica de la población adulta. Esta asociación no se ha explorado suficientemente entre los estudiantes universitarios. Objetivos: los objetivos de este estudio fueron analizar la calidad de la dieta en una población universitaria y cuantificar su asociación con la prevalencia de ansiedad, depresión, estrés e insomnio. Métodos: estudio descriptivo transversal sobre una muestra de 1055 estudiantes universitarios. Se utilizaron tres cuestionarios validados: el Índice de Alimentación Saludable (IAS), la escala breve de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés (DASS-21) y el Índice de Severidad del Insomnio. Resultados: la puntuación media del IAS fue de 68,57 ± 12,17. La prevalencia de la alimentación no saludable fue del 82,3%, mayor en las mujeres (84,8% vs. 76,4%). La alimentación no saludable se relacionó de forma significativa con la prevalencia de ansiedad, depresión y estrés. El consumo excesivo de dulces y el bajo de lácteos se asociaron a una mayor prevalencia de alteraciones psicológicas y del sueño. Conclusiones: los patrones alimentarios no saludables son comunes en la población universitaria y se relacionan con la presencia de ansiedad, estrés y depresión. Las intervenciones educativas dirigidas a disminuir el consumo de alimentos no saludables en estudiantes universitarios pueden conllevar una mejora de la salud psicológica y/o viceversa
Introduction: there is growing evidence linking food consumption with psychological health in adult people. This association has not been well explored among university students. Objectives: the aims of this study were to analyze diet quality in a university population, and to assess its association with the prevalence of anxiety, stress, depression, and insomnia. Methods: a cross-sectional study of a sample of 1,055 university students. Three validated questionnaires were used: the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21), and the Insomnia Severity Index. Results: the average HEI score was 68.57 ± 12.17. The prevalence of unhealthy eating was 82.3%, higher in women (84.8% vs. 76.4%). Unhealthy eating was significantly associated with prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress. Excessive intake of sweets and low of dairy products were associated with a higher prevalence of psychological and sleep disturbances. Conclusions: unhealthy eating patterns are common among the university population, and related to anxiety, stress, and depression. Educational interventions to reduce unhealthy food consumption in university students may also result in psychological health improvements and/or vice versa

OBJECTIVES: To describe gestational weight gain and postpartum weight retention in women classified by pre-pregnancy body mass index BMI). METHODS: Prospective cohort study with a sample of 301 women. Weight was evaluated throughout pregnancy and puerperium. Multilinear regression models were performed to assess determinants of gestational weight gain and postpartum weight retention by pre-gestationalBMI categories. RESULTS: During pregnancy, 36.5% of the participants gained more weight than recommended, and 90% retained weight at six months after childbirth. Slim women had greater weight gain during pregnancy and retained more postpartum weight. Age, parity, miscarriage history, pre-gestational BMI, origin and place of residence were independently associated with gestational weight gain. Postpartum weight retention was directly related to gestational weight gain and inversely with breastfeeding duration. CONCLUSIONS: Pre-gestational BMI is a predictor of gestational weight gain. Also, gestational weight gain is a predictor of postpartum weight retention. Educational programs focused on promoting healthy behaviors are needed both in pregnancy and postpartum.

Objetivos: describir la ganancia de peso gestacional y la retención de peso posparto en mujeres pertenecientes a diferentes categorías de índice de masa corporal (IMC) pregestacional. Métodos: estudio descriptivo longitudinal sobre una muestra de 301 mujeres. Se evaluó el peso de las participantes a lo largo del embarazo y el puerperio. Se llevaron a cabo diferentes modelos de regresión lineal múltiple para analizar los factores determinantes de la ganancia de peso gestacional y la retención de peso posparto en función del IMC pre-gestacional. Resultados: un 36,5% de las participantes ganó más peso del recomendado durante su embarazo y hasta un 90% retuvo peso a los seis meses del parto. Las mujeres con bajo peso presentaron mayor ganancia de peso durante el embarazo y retuvieron más peso en el posparto. La edad, la paridad, la historia de aborto, el IMC pregestacional, el origen geográfico y el lugar de residencia se asociaron de forma independiente con la ganancia de peso gestacional. La retención de peso posparto se relacionó de forma directa con la ganancia de peso gestacional e inversa con la duración de la lactancia materna. Conclusiones: el IMC pregestacional es un factor predictor de la ganancia de peso gestacional y la ganancia de peso gestacional, de la retención de peso posparto. Son necesarios programas educativos dirigidos a promover comportamientos saludables, no solo durante el embarazo sino también en la época del puerperio (AU)

Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido describir las características y evolución de la actividad física a lo largo del embarazo y hasta tres meses después del parto. Metodología. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo longitudinal para evaluar la naturaleza, la frecuencia, la duración y la intensidad de la actividad física llevada a cabo por una cohorte de 133 mujeres en las semanas 11 a 13, 20 a 22 y 32 a 34 del embarazo y a las 12 semanas tras el parto. Resultados. La actividad física global disminuyó a lo largo del embarazo y también en la época del puerperio (p<0.05). La contribución de las actividades lúdicas al total de la actividad física realizada aumentó en cada uno de los momentos de medición. Por el contrario, la actividad física en el hogar, en el trabajo y para desplazarse disminuyó progresivamente a lo largo del embarazo y el puerperio (p < 0.05). El tiempo dedicado a actividades vigorosas fue prácticamente nulo, y el dedicado a actividades de intensidad moderada disminuyó a lo largo del seguimiento (p < 0.05). Conclusiones. Los profesionales de la salud deberían poner en marcha estrategias encaminadas al mantenimiento de los niveles previos de actividad física en las épocas del embarazo y el puerperio (AU)
Introduction. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and evolution of physical activity throughout pregnancy and puerperium. Method. We performed a descriptive longitudinal study to assess the nature, frequency, duration and intensity of physical activity undertaken by a cohort of 133 women at weeks 11-13, 20-22 and 32-34 of pregnancy and 12 weeks after birth. Results. Physical activity declined throughout pregnancy and in the postpartum period (p < 0.05). The contribution of leisure physical activity increased on each of the measures. By contrast, physical activity at home, at work and to be transported progressively decreased throughout pregnancy and postpartum (p < 0.05). Time spent in vigorous activity was near zero, and time spent in moderate-intensity activities decreased along the protocol (p<0.05). Conclusions. Health care professionals are encouraged to perform strategies in order to maintain previous levels of physical activity during pregnancy and the postpartum periods (AU)
