Background: Effective lifestyle interventions are needed to prevent noncommunicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries. We analyzed the effects of a school-based health promotion intervention on physical fitness after 28 months and explored if the effect varied with important school characteristics. We also assessed effects on screen time, physical activity and BMI. Methods and results: We performed a cluster-randomized pair matched trial in schools in urban Ecuador. The intervention included an individual and environmental component tailored to the local context and resources. Primary outcomes were physical fitness (EUROFIT battery), screen time (questionnaires) and physical activity (accelerometers). Change in BMI was a secondary outcome. A total of 1440 grade 8 and 9 adolescents (intervention: n = 700, 48.6%) and 20 schools (intervention: n = 10, 50%) participated. Data of 1083 adolescents (intervention: n = 550, 50.8%) from 20 schools were analyzed. The intervention increased vertical jump (mean effect 2.5 cm; 95% CI 0.8-4.2; P = 0.01). Marginally insignificant, adolescents from the intervention group needed less time for speed shuttle run (intervention effect = −0.8 s, 95% CI −1.58-0.07; P = 0.05). The proportion of students achieving over 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity/day decreased over time with the change in proportion significantly less in the intervention schools (6 vs. 18 percentage points, P < 0.01). The intervention effect on speed shuttle run was significant in larger schools while the effect on vertical jump was larger in mixed gender school compared to small and female schools. The proportion of schools that met the recommendations for physical activity increased with 37% in intervention schools with half-day schedule compared to the controls in the pair. No significant effects were found on screen time and BMI. Measurement of physical activity in a subsample was a limitation. No adverse effects were reported. Conclusions: A school-based intervention with an individual and environment component can improve physical fitness and can minimize the decline in physical activity levels from childhood into adolescence in urban Ecuador.

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution, as a consequence of increasing traffic, is of high concern for public health in urban areas. The PM draws major attention, first because by its micrometric sizes can particles penetrate the lungs and hinder the gas exchange, and secondly due to its chemical composition including the presence of heavy metals, which can damage the biological systems. Despite its detrimental effects for the entire population, kids are more vulnerable because of its developing stage. It is known that PM concentrations can be influenced by street characteristics, meteorology, and the presence of surrounding vegetation, which constitute environmental factors related to the generation, dispersion, and deposition of PM. Due to the necessity of reducing population exposure to this type of pollution, the present study analyzed the correlation of environmental factors of generation, dispersion and deposition based on the available secondary information with the concentration of PM10, and metals (lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc) in air samples collected at 21 initial education centers in the city of Cuenca. The obtained results indicate low relationships between pollutants and environmental factors, the presence of high variability in pollutant concentrations, and PM10 levels often exceeding the limits established by the World Health Organization and national law.

(2020) Zúñiga García, Daniela Estefanía; Montaleza Auquilla, María Magdalena; Andrade Muñoz, Diana Jésus; León Vizñay, Jéssica Andrea; Ramírez Jimbo, Patricia Liliana; Criollo Ayala, Diana Alexandra; Astudillo Ochoa, Sonia Margoth; Loja, María; Andrade Tenesaca, Dolores Susana
This study examined the chemical kinetics of natural lactic fermentation of white cabbage (Brassica olerácea L.- capitata var.). First, the experimental design was developed and the optimal conditions (temperature, fermentation time and sea salt concentration) for the growth of lactic bacteria were defined. The optimal corresponds to a temperature of 25°C, a duration of 14 days and a sea salt content of 3%. The experiment was replicated in eleven bottles and the pH, the concentration of glucose, fructose, and lactic acid bacteria were determined. Second, the integral method was used to define the kinetics of the chemical reaction. For glucose, zero-order kinetics was set with a kinetic constant of 2x10-6 g/ml.min (correlation coefficient = 0.98), and showed that the reaction rate was independent of the glucose concentration. Regarding the fructose, the second-order kinetics was set with a constant of 1.45x10-2 ml/g.min (correlation coefficient = 0.98). The equation −𝑟𝑐6𝐻12𝑂6 = [ 0.0145 (C𝑐6𝐻12𝑂6) 2 ] g/ml.min represents the speed of sugar consumption in a natural lactic fermentation reaction of white cabbage. The modeling approach will help the fermenter to improve the fermenting design and enhance the production process.

Introducción: El flúor en agua potable ha demostrado ser efectivo contra las caries, sin embargo, una alta exposición a fluoruros es una de las principales causas de fluorosis dental en niños. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la concentración de flúor en agua de consumo para conocer si constituye un factor de riesgo para la fluorosis dental en niños del sector rural de Cuenca-Ecuador. Metodos: El muestreo se realizó en nueve parroquias rurales del cantón, en tres puntos de red: (1) tanques de captación, (2) tanques de almacenamiento del sistema de potabilización, y (3) el sistema de distribución en escuelas, considerando el periodo estacional de verano (época sequía) o invierno (época lluviosa). Las determinaciones de flúor se realizaron con la técnica del ion selectivo. Resultados: Los resultados indicaron que todas las muestras estuvieron debajo de la concentración de 1.5 mg/L (límite OMS), en los rangos: 0,0–0,0565 mg/L en los tanques de captación; 0,0–0,0440 mg/L en los tanques de almacenamiento; y 0,0–0,0525 mg/L en los sistemas de distribución de las instituciones educativas. La prueba ANOVA indicó que las variables parroquias y estación influyen en la concentración de fluoruros (valor p<0.01). Conclusiones: La concentración de flúor en el agua es menor a la concentración límites permitida, lo anterior permite descartar al agua potable como causa para el desarrollo de fluorosis dental. Los hallazgos presentados respaldan el investigar otros factores de riesgo como condiciones geográficas, alimentación, dentífricos, etc., debido a que la fluorosis dental constituye un problema multifactorial

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize educational policies and schoolrelated factors that influence physical activity in children from 5 to 12 years of age at the Eugenio Espejo School. Methodology: The study design includes two approaches a literature review and validation study. For this purpose three parts were followed: 1) a literature review of studies at the different digital bases, 2) after a critical reading of the selected articles, the educational policies and school-related factors that positively influence physical activity levels were identified, 3) finally, the validation of the tool was performed out through expert opinion and reliability was obtained with the application of the tool in the Eugenio Espejo school, the alpha de Cronbach and Kappa coefficient were calculated. Results: in total 10 articles related to educational policies and school-related factors that influence physical activity levels were selected. In addition, 17 educational policies and school-related factors were identified as positively influencing physical activity levels such as infrastructure, facilities, sports materials, condition of pavement, etc. A questionnaire was built based on the 17 identified items, and the validation of content by means experts indicated that some changes should be made to the tool, after which a final version was obtained. In the results of the reliability of the tool, the internal consistency by means of Cronbach's alpha in educational policies was 0.9 and in factors related to the school it was 0.8, resulting in statistically significant values. Likewise, to verify the reproducibility of the tool through the Kappa statistic, it resulted in a value of 1 in both policy and school-related factors, meaning that there is excellent agreement between the tool's responses.

Fluorides are essential components, which have beneficial effects on dental and bone tissue. However, when fluoride intake exceeds the permissible limit, abnormalities such as dental fluorosis can be observed. In the canton of Cuenca there has been an increase in the prevalence of this disease, with the possibility that this is due to the existence of fluorides in water sources. Objective: The objective was to analyze the concentration of fluoride in water of the collection and storage tanks in the purification plants and of 14 schools belonging to 9 rural parishes of the Cuenca canton (Paccha, Cumbe, Quingueo, Octavio Cordero, Tarqui, Victoria del Portete, Baños, Nulti and Santa Ana). Methodology: The quantitative study of descriptive fuel. In total, 56 water samples were collected from three strategic areas that were: collection tank, storage tank and selected schools. A monitoring plan was executed with a duration of two months (April and July 2019), this period represents the rainy period and the dry period respectively. The method by which the fluoride analyte was determined is the 4500 F‾ selective ion. Results: The analyzed data containing the variations of fluoride in water of the study areas are between 0.0 - 0.12 mg / L of fluoride. Conclusions: It is concluded that the water supply sources of the rural parishes of the Cuenca canton contain fluoride limits lower than those recommended by the INEN and WHO standards.

Postpartum depression is a public health problem that is rarely addressed in developing countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of the concentration of Magnesium in urine, the physical activity performed by mothers in the postpartum period and the perception of family support as risk factors in postpartum depression in women treated at the Pablo Foundation Humanitarian Clinic Jaramillo Crespo of the city of Cuenca. A case-control study of correlational scope was carried out, in which 56 women of up to 8 weeks postpartum, aged 18 to 35 years, participated. The patients were evaluated by means of a survey to determine the presence of depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale). Additionally, I) evaluated the physical activity performed by the patient (Survey Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire or PPAQ); II) the family functionality (APGAR survey: Adaptation, Participation, Gradient of personal resources, Affection and Resources) and III) the concentration of urinary magnesium of 24 hours. For data tabulation and analysis, the EPIDATA 3.1 and STATA 13 programs were used respectively. The results showed that in 100% of the cases magnesium levels were lower than those recommended in 24-hour urine. For the other factors analyzed, there was no statistically significant association between cases and controls. Apparently, the low level of magnesium is associated with postpartum depression its relationship with magnesium consumption

(2014) Ochoa Avilés, Angélica María; Verstraeten, Roosmarijn; Lachat, Carl; Andrade Tenesaca, Dolores Susana; Van Camp, John; Donoso Moscoso, Silvana Patricia; Kolsteren, Patrick
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are amongst the leading causes of death worldwide. Risk factors of CVD develop during childhood and adolescence, and dietary quality has been linked to the development of CVD itself. This study examines the association between dietary patterns and cardiovascular risk in a group of urban and rural Ecuadorian adolescents from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2008 to April 2009 among 606 adolescents from the 8th, 9th and 10th grade in an urban area (Cuenca), and 173 adolescents from a rural area (Nabón) in Ecuador. Data collection involved measuring anthropometric data (weight, height and waist circumference), blood pressure, dietary intake (2-day 24 h recall) and socio-demographic characteristics. Fasting blood lipids and glucose were measured in a subsample of 334 adolescents. Factor analysis was used to identify dietary patterns and linear regression models were used to (i) identify differences in food intake practices according to socioeconomic status and place of residence and (ii) establish relationships between dietary patterns and cardiovascular risk factors. Results: Median energy intake was 1851 kcal/day. Overall, fiber, fish and fruit and vegetables were scarcely consumed, while added sugar, refined cereals and processed food were important constituents of the diet. Two dietary patterns emerged, one labelled as rice-rich non-animal fat pattern and the other one as wheat-dense animal-fat pattern. The first pattern was correlated with a moderate increase in glucose in urban participants, while the second pattern was associated with higher LDL and cholesterol blood levels in rural participants. Conclusions: This group of adolescents presented various dietary practices conducive to CVD development. Effective strategies are needed to prevent CVD in the Ecuadorian population by encouraging a balanced diet, which contains less refined cereals, added sugar, and processed food, but has more fruits, vegetables and whole grain cereals.
Efecto de ejercicios pliométricos modificados en voleibol categoría 13-15 años masculino
(2023) Coronel Rosero, Claudio Xavier
Volleyball studies in male pre-adolescents are scarce but important to maintain competitiveness in sports tournaments. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of a specific plyometric exercise program using sports implements to improve explosive strength in 13–15-year-old volleyball players. There were two groups: a control group (CG, n=12) and an experimental group (EG, n=13). The CG performed a conventional plyometric program and the GE a plyometric program with implements (jump trainer, resistance harness, resistance bands, etc.) for a period of twelve weeks. Pre-intervention and post-intervention jumping ability was assessed using the Block Jump, Attack Jump, Abalakov and Squat Jump tests. T-tests and Cohen's test were applied to identify statistical differences in jumping and intervention effect size (TE). Both groups presented a gain in jumping ability in the 4 tests, however the only statistically significant gain was presented in the Abalakov test (p=0.02), specifically the gain was 5.415±2.60cm and a TE=0.54 (median effect) for the GE and 3.066±2.63cm and a TE of 0.73 (median effect) for the GC. It is concluded that the plyometric exercise program with implements improved the vertical jump measured with the Abalakov Test, which better simulates game conditions. It is advisable to continue with studies focused on explosive strength in this age group, considering the sports experience and physiologi-cal development of the individual; it is also important that training programs include other components (e.g., strength and speed training, nutrition-al advice, and/or mental health) that could influence explosive strength

Nowadays, the lack of motivation of children and young people in physical activities is one of the main problems in the educational system. It becomes essential to implement reforms in teaching methodologies related to this field. Methodologies that avoid a sedentary in this group of the society and help promote adequate lifestyles. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of a playful program on intrinsic motivation in upper basic and high school students of Unidad Educativa Miguel Diaz Cueva, using competitive and cooperative games during the warm-up in Physical Education classes. The quasi-experimental study was descriptive, in which 104 upper basic and high school students participated. Experimental and control groups were created: the experimental group was formed by 29 ninth grade and 28 first grade students of high school; the control group was formed by 27studets from tenth grade and 20 students from third grade of high school. Intrinsic motivation was measured in the pre and posttest using the Physical Education Motivation Questionnaire (CMEF). This test measures five types of motivation. Likewise, a program of recreational activities was designed based on a literature review, which consisted of 12 work sessions. For the tabulation and analysis of data, the programs Microsoft Excel 2019 and IBM SPSS V26 were used, respectively. The results showed that there was an improvement of 53.57% of intrinsic motivation in the experimental groups, as well as an improvement of 29,03% in the identified regulation. In conclusion, the program of recreational activities during the warm-up of physical education classes had a notable effectiveness, so this type of activity is positive for improving student motivation

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-05-10) Coronel Rosero, Claudio Xavier; Andrade Tenesaca, Dolores Susana
Pedagogical Models (PM) are based on theoretical premises about teaching and learning, it is necessary to understand the variables of the context and the particularities of the students in order to apply them effectively to PE. The study aims to evaluate the effect of the Hybridization of Pedagogical Models (HMP): Sports Education (DE) and Comprehensive Sports Education (CSE) on motivation, satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs (BPN) and the intention to be physically active of high school students of the Herlinda Toral Educational Unit. The study used a quasi-experimental design with causal scope, 261 students of 1st; 2nd; 3rd year of General Unified High School (BGU), aged between 15 and 18 years old, participated. A Hybrid Didactic Unit (UDH) based on the MPs: ED and ECD was applied for 6 weeks (12 sessions of 35 minutes). To determine the effect of the intervention, a two-sample t-test with a significance level of 5% and Cohen's test were applied. To establish the degree of fidelity, the video sessions were objectively assessed. The results showed significant variations in intrinsic motivation, motivational regulations, NPB satisfaction and novelty; there are no significant changes in the intention to be physically active. It is concluded that it is possible to obtain positive results by implementing programs that hybridize PM in the context of teaching PE.
Effects of diabetes definition on global surveillance of diabetes prevalence and diagnosis: a pooled analysis of 96 population-based studies with 331 288 participants
(2015) Danaei, Goodarz; Ochoa Avilés, Angélica María; Ezzati, Majid; Andrade Tenesaca, Dolores Susana; Zheng, Yao
Background Diabetes has been defi ned on the basis of diff erent biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the eff ect of diff erent diagnostic defi nitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classifi cation of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a pooled analysis of data from population-based health examination surveys in diff erent regions. Methods We used data from 96 population-based health examination surveys that had measured at least two of the biomarkers used for defi ning diabetes. Diabetes was defi ned using HbA1c (HbA1c ≥6·5% or history of diabetes diagnosis or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs) compared with either FPG only or FPG-or-2hOGTT defi nitions (FPG ≥7·0 mmol/L or 2hOGTT ≥11·1 mmol/L or history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated diabetes prevalence, taking into account complex survey design and survey sample weights. We compared the prevalences of diabetes using diff erent defi nitions graphically and by regression analyses. We calculated sensitivity and specifi city of diabetes diagnosis based on HbA1c compared with diagnosis based on glucose among previously undiagnosed individuals (ie, excluding those with history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated sensitivity and specifi city in each survey, and then pooled results using a random-eff ects model. We assessed the sources of heterogeneity of sensitivity by meta-regressions for study characteristics selected a priori. Findings Population prevalence of diabetes based on FPG-or-2hOGTT was correlated with prevalence based on FPG alone (r=0·98), but was higher by 2–6 percentage points at diff erent prevalence levels. Prevalence based on HbA1c was lower than prevalence based on FPG in 42·8% of age–sex–survey groups and higher in another 41·6%; in the other 15·6%, the two defi nitions provided similar prevalence estimates. The variation across studies in the relation between glucose-based and HbA1c-based prevalences was partly related to participants’ age, followed by natural logarithm of per person gross domestic product, the year of survey, mean BMI, and whether the survey population was national, subnational, or from specifi c communities. Diabetes defi ned as HbA1c 6·5% or more had a pooled sensitivity of 52·8% (95% CI 51·3–54·3%) and a pooled specifi city of 99·74% (99·71–99·78%) compared with FPG 7·0 mmol/L or more for diagnosing previously undiagnosed participants; sensitivity compared with diabetes defi ned based on FPGor-2hOGTT was 30·5% (28·7–32·3%). None of the preselected study-level characteristics explained the heterogeneity in the sensitivity of HbA1c versus FPG. Interpretation Diff erent biomarkers and defi nitions for diabetes can provide diff erent estimates of population prevalence of diabetes, and diff erentially identify people without previous diagnosis as having diabetes. Using an HbA1c-based defi nition alone in health surveys will not identify a substantial proportion of previously undiagnosed people who would be considered as having diabetes using a glucose-based test.
Effects of diabetes definition on global surveillance of diabetes prevalence and diagnosis: A pooled analysis of 96 population-based studies with 331 288 participants
(LANCET PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-08-01) Andrade Tenesaca, Dolores Susana; Ochoa Avilés, Angélica María
Background: Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the effect of different diagnostic definitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classification of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a pooled analysis of data from population-based health examination surveys in different regions. Methods: We used data from 96 population-based health examination surveys that had measured at least two of the biomarkers used for defining diabetes. Diabetes was defined using HbA1c (HbA1c ?6·5% or history of diabetes diagnosis or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs) compared with either FPG only or FPG-or-2hOGTT definitions (FPG ?7·0 mmol/L or 2hOGTT ?11·1 mmol/L or history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated diabetes prevalence, taking into account complex survey design and survey sample weights. We compared the prevalences of diabetes using different definitions graphically and by regression analyses. We calculated sensitivity and specificity of diabetes diagnosis based on HbA1c compared with diagnosis based on glucose among previously undiagnosed individuals (ie, excluding those with history of diabetes or using insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs). We calculated sensitivity and specificity in each survey, and then pooled results using a random-effects model. We assessed the sources of heterogeneity of sensitivity by meta-regressions for study characteristics selected a priori. Findings: Population prevalence of diabetes based on FPG-or-2hOGTT was correlated with prevalence based on FPG alone (r=0·98), but was higher by 2-6 percentage points at different prevalence levels. Prevalence based on HbA1c was lower than prevalence based on FPG in 42·8% of age-sex-survey groups and higher in another 41·6%; in the other 15·6%, the two definitions provided similar prevalence estimates.

Diabetes defined as HbA1c 6·5% or more had a pooled sensitivity of 52·8% (95% CI 51·3-54·3%) and a pooled specificity of 99·74% (99·71-99·78%) compared with FPG 7·0 mmol/L or more for diagnosing previously undiagnosed participants; sensitivity compared with diabetes defined based on FPG-or-2hOGTT was 30·5% (28·7-32·3%). None of the preselected study-level characteristics explained the heterogeneity in the sensitivity of HbA1c versus FPG. Interpretation: Different biomarkers and definitions for diabetes can provide different estimates of population prevalence of diabetes, and differentially identify people without previous diagnosis as having diabetes. Using an HbA1c-based definition alone in health surveys will not identify a substantial proportion of previously undiagnosed people who would be considered as having diabetes using a glucose-based test.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-02-21) Lucero Calle, Edwin Vinicio; Suarez Bautista, Edinson Saul; Andrade Tenesaca, Dolores Susana
Background: An estimated 60 per cent of the world’s population does not engage in physical activity necessary to obtain health benefits, thus increasing sedentary behaviour during work activities, and the use of passive transport contribute to sedentary lifestyle. General objective: To assess physical activity, sedentary behaviour and anthropometric measurements of nursing staff Methodology: The sample consisted of 150 people from the nursing staff of a health organization in the city of Cuenca. An analytical, prospective, observational study was carried out. Socio-demographic data were collected, observational measures and surveys were implemented. The data were processed using SPSS 20.0, using descriptive statistics, as well as Odds ratio and Chi square to measure the association between physical activity and sedentary lifestyle with anthemometric measurements. Results: The study group was composed mainly of women (94.7%), and children under 40 (61.3%), with medium socio-economic level. Physical activity in most subjects is light, with very low percentages of moderate activity (somewhat higher in nursing auxiliaries), but without statistical differences. Nurses spend more time per day on activities outside the home, while nurses do more at home. Conclusions: In the study population there is a high tendency to overweight and obesity, as well as abdominal obesity. Subjects with less physical activity and more hours devoted to sedentary activities showed a higher percentage of cases with overweight or obesity and abdominal obesity.

Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is a non-communicable disease that has increased in recent years, affecting people over 40 years of age, decreasing the quality of life and physical condition, therefore the objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of a training programme on the quality of life and physical condition aimed at older adults with Diabetes Mellitus Type II. It is quasi-experimental experimental research, based on the EsDQOL questionnaire to evaluate the quality of life of the elderly and the application of the Senior Fitness Test Battery that evaluates the physical condition of the elderly from 60 to 94 years of age. The results were reached employing a descriptive statistical analysis and the study variables were evaluated to establish the correlation. Finally, after analysing the theoretical and methodological foundations, it is concluded that the quality of life and physical condition of the elderly presented significant improvements in the social and physical aspects of the participants.
Evaluación de la sensibilidad a la sal y patrones de consumo de alimentos con un contenido mayor a 100 mg de sodio, en niños de 7 a 12 años de edad en las zonas rurales del cantón Cuenca, Ecuador
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-02-23) Alvarado Alvarado, Carol Jessenia; Encalada Torres, Tifanny Michaella; Andrade Tenesaca, Dolores Susana
Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity to salt, patterns of consumption of foods with a content greater than 100mg of sodium and daily sodium intake, in children between 7 and 12 years of age, in the rural areas of Cuenca, Ecuador. Methodology: A quantitative-observational type study, which is part of a case -control research project entitled “Evaluation of salt intake and its relationship with moderate and severe dental fluorosis in schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years in rural parishes of the city of Cuenca ”, the data collection was from December 2019 to March 2020 and was carried out by applying the guideline of comparison of thresholds of perception and recognition of taste, the questionnaire of frequency of consumption and 24 -hour reminders in different days Results: The results of the salt detection and recognition thresholds test reflect 58% of the population detects a different taste to water in dilution 2 (0.02 mol / L) and 48% of the participants recognizes the salty taste in the same dilution. Regarding the results of the CFC, the mote and the sausage fried in oil were found as the most consumed foods and that contributed the most sodium in the diet of the participants. Regarding the average daily sodium consumption, there is evidence of an intake of 1,620 g sodium / day in the population. Conclusions: It is important to reduce sodium consumption due to the diseases to which it has been related, since a study at an early age is essential for the implementation of prevention or treatment measures for these diseases. The information obtained from this research will serve as a reference for future research in which the number of participants is expanded and other methodologies are used.

Background: The Adolescence is a period of accele-rated growth in which a series of physical changes oc-cur, leading to a greater demand for nutritional needs, energy, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and mi-nerals. These characteristics determine the possibility of nutritional deficiencies that occur at this age if the in-take is not adequate.ObjEctivE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the intake of macronutrients, sodium, calcium and added sugar in adolescents of Cuenca and Nabón according to the recommendations established by the WHO. Materials And Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from January 2008 to April 2009 in 765 adolescents from 8th, 9th and 10th grade basic education in Cuenca and Nabón (Ecuador). The collec-tion of dietary intake was through a reminder of 24-hours that was applied in 2 non-consecutive days. The Softwa-re Lucille 0.1 was used for the intake and calculation of ingested food. Data analysis was performed using the statistical program STATA 12, which determined the daily intake of nutrients that were adjusted for the total energy and calculated according to the percentage of adolescents that follows the WHO recommendations.rEsults: The intake of carbohydrates (80%), fats (76%) and proteins (67%) in most adolescents are within the range recommended by the WHO; however, in the case of consumption of sodium and added sugar, the values of more than half of adolescents are above re-commendations. Thus, only about 1% of the population studied meets the daily requirements of calcium con-sumption.cOnclusiOn: This population of adolescents presents an imbalance in dietary intake, especially of micronu-trients and added sugar. Therefore, intervention programs in healthy eating and prevention of obesity and hypertension are necessary especially in educational institutions.
