Abstract: A child’s nutrition during their school years is of utmost importance in order to avoid malnutrition and the appearance of mineral deficiencies, this nutrition guarantees proper developments through healthy habits. General Objective: To determine how socio economics and food intake affect proper nutrition in school zones in Cuenca, Ecuador. Methodology: This is a descriptive study. We worked with two school districts in Cuenca, with a total of 90 participants. In order to collect the information, surveys were used about nutritional intake using anthropometric measures. To analyze the data obtained for the tabulations we needed to use EPIDAT version 4.2, Microsoft Word, and Excel. Results: According to the nutritional survey, we can determine that 4 out of every 10 kids face problems with malnutrition. This is also correlated with the child’s socioeconomic status where the school with the lowest economic gross has a (25.1%) deficiency, and the wealthier school a (8.5%) deficiency. This is reversed when speaking of weight gain and obesity. Wealthier schools have a higher tendency for this. Conclusion: It is of utmost importance to teach the public of healthy nutritional intake in school children in order to avoid malnutrition and other deficiencies.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-07-28) Arízaga Peláez, John Sebastián; Loja Aucay, Erick Xavier; Aguirre Cornejo, Roberto Paulino
Adequate dietary fiber intake is essential for digestive and metabolic health; however, in many countries, fiber intake is insufficient. There are differences in fiber consumption according to sex and age, which can influence the health status of the adult population. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate dietary fiber consumption in adults attending nutritional consultations at the Carlos Elizalde Health Center. A descriptive observational study was conducted on a sample of adults attending nutritional consultations, excluding pregnant women, people with gastrointestinal diseases, and those who consume fiber supplements. A questionnaire on the frequency of consumption of foods containing fiber and the Photographic Food Portion Manual were used to estimate daily fiber intake. Based on these instruments, the average fiber consumption in the study population was determined to be 24.9 g/day. It was observed that men had a higher consumption than women. In terms of age groups, adults aged 22 to 28 had the highest fiber consumption, while the 50 to 64 age group had the lowest intake. The results reflect variability in fiber consumption according to sex and age, highlighting lower consumption in women and older adults.

Background. - In Ecuador there is a rapid change in the generational balance, where the demographic aging has increased, which would represent 18% of the adult population by 2050, which is why it is important to carry out projects from Primary Care In Health and thus to avoid possible accidents of the locomotive apparatus like falls by alteration of the balance and other associated factors (1). According to the WHO, older adults suffer the most fatal falls, being more frequent in women (2). Thus, individuals with impaired balance have a 95.0% higher prevalence of falls compared to those without imbalance (3). Objective. - To evaluate the static and dynamic balance in the Elderly Adults of the Maria Reina de la Paz Gerontological Center Methodology. - The study is a descriptive cross-sectional study, carried out in a population of 75 older adults, in whom two tests were applied: the UNIPODAL APOYO test for static balance and the TIMED GET UP AND GO test for the Dynamic balance. For tabulation and data collection, we performed a database in the Excel program, analysis with SPSS version 20 and data exposure through frequency tables. Results. - The results of the research show that 85.3% of the population are female, 44% are widowers, 60% are unemployed and the average age of the elderly is 78.04 years. The average balance test results, right unipodal support was 6.08 seconds which in its interpretation is normal, in the left unipodal support test the time was 4.89 seconds which is high risk of falling; And in the test of the timed get up and go the time was 11.89 seconds which is slight fall watering. Women and people older than 81 years are those who are at greatest risk of falls due to altered static and dynamic balance. Conclusion. - Women and the elderly at 81 years of age are more at risk of falls due to altered static and dynamic balance. There is an increased risk of fall due to impaired static balance in left unipodal support. The tests used in this research are easy and quick to perform, as well as being economically useful and of great importance in future research

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-09-21) Rojas Crespo, María Dolores; Tapia Barros, Jenny Katherine; Aguirre Cornejo, Roberto Paulino
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a major public health problem worldwide in terms of morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization presents some strategies for their prevention, one of them is to adopt a healthy diet, which includes an adequate consumption of dietary fiber, since it has a beneficial role in the reduction of serum LDL cholesterol levels, one of the main factors for the development of CVD (1,2). General Objective: Determine which are the benefits for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in adults with adequate consumption of dietary fiber, through a qualitative systematic review. Methodology: A qualitative systematic review of articles of primary source on dietary fiber and its role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in adults was carried out. Results: Through the first investigation 1,348 articles were registered and applying eligibility criteria, a total of 33 bibliographic sources were used. As a result of the analysis and evaluation of the quality of the scientific evidence (GRADE scale), a total of 4 potential articles were obtained for the preparation of the present qualitative systematic review. Conclusions: Dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, has the ability to prevent ailments and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases since it is related to the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and therefore with the decrease in plasma levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins (LDL), without significantly affecting high density lipoproteins (HDL) and triglycerides; thus improving the serum lipid profile due to the participation of fiber on the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which is associated with the production of cholesterol.

Results: The age group with the highest prevalence of patients with cystic fibrosis was 0-4 years, corresponding to 25.5%, followed by 21.6% between 5-12 years and finally, 19.6% between 18-26 years. In relation to sex, there is a prevalence of 51% for males and 49% for females. Nutritional treatment is mostly based on a hyperproteic diet and of these 31% of the cases receive supplementation. Conclusions: An adequate nutritional treatment is one of the fundamental pillars to avoid decompensation or future complications in patients with cystic fibrosis, in this way we can determine that the dietary-therapeutic treatment is directly related to the nutritional status and varies based on the individual needs and requirements of each patient and the symptoms of the disease.
