(Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-05-17) Cobos Calderón, Samira Alejandra; Espinoza Moscoso, Sofía Alejandra; Vintimilla Rojas, Daniela Alejandra
Today, a variety of non-invasive aesthetic treatments have emerged with the purpose of reducing measurements, which may or may not be accompanied by a healthy and/or hypocaloric diet. In many cases, people who undergo these techniques spend large sums of money on treatments that are not always effective. The aim of this study is to know the impact of the aesthetic techniques and to see if the results are statistically significant. The aim of this study is to analyze whether there are statistically significant differences in body weight and waist circumference before and after having attended the Centro de Bienestar Integral Bioesthetic Spa in the period March 2020 to March 2022. This is a retrospective study in which the medical records of the people who attended the Centro Bienestar Integral Bioesthetic SPA were reviewed. The population consisted of 65 patients who attended private consultation within the established period. It was found that those who underwent non-invasive aesthetic techniques had variations in initial weight and waist circumference and final weight and waist circumference. However, when statistical tools were applied, the results were not considered statistically significant, so this method to reduce measurements is not suitable for people seeking to significantly reduce measurements, either body weight or waist circumference.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-01-24) Altamirano Mendieta, Johanna Estefanía; Alvarado Alvarado, Flor María; Abril Ulloa, Sandra Victoria
Background: The packaging of Processed Foods and Ultraprocessed Products (PFUP), inform about the content of critical nutrients for health, also show claims related to health and nutrition that require analysis. Objective: To identify the nutritional claims of PFUPs and their importance in the purchase and consumption decision of adults in Cuenca. Methodology: A mixed study (qualitative-quantitative) in which 2054 PFUP sold in Cuenca were analyzed. The frequency of nutrition claims in 10 categories of PFUP was identified. The type of legend was determined and the correspondence between these and what was declared in the nutritional table (NT) according to the INFORMAS taxonomy was compared. Twelve adults were interviewed on the perceived importance of the legends for the purchase of PFUP. Results: The PFUP with the highest proportion of statements are beverages, breakfast cereals, bakery and pastry products. The correlation between what is stated and what is reported in the NT is low. People express that the claims can generate misinterpretations and influence on the purchase decision compared to products that do not contain them. Conclusions: Most of the PFUP present nutritional declarations that do not have a good correlation with the real content of the product, which could suggest the analysis of the public policy applied in Ecuador with the objective of including more specific and detailed information on declarations, since this information leads to bad purchasing decisions by consumers.

The descriptive quantitative study was carried out using a validated dietary quality questionnaire. Results: It was observed that children at the table behave according to the interaction of educators who use strategies to consume the preparations. It was observed that preschoolers do not comply with the recommendation of physical activity and have a prolonged sleep time after lunch. In the interviews, it was found that each CDI carries their organization, and they modify the menu according to several reasons, some of which provide benefits and other disadvantages. The quality of the menus according to the COMES questionnaire was acceptable to improvable. Conclutions: Preschoolers consume three meal times in the CDIs.

Background: In the preschool stage, the teaching staff and / or the formal caregivers play an important role as health promoters, which will have a short and long term impact. General Objective: To identify the feeding and physical activity behavior of the preschool children at the end of an intervention project to promote healthy habits in the Infantile Development Centers of the Municipality of Cuenca (CDIs). Methodology: A quali-quantitative mixed study was carried out. The qualitative approach was carried out through non-participatory observations to children and to the educators during the days of attendance of the children to the CDIs. In addition, structured interviews were conducted with the food service staff of the CDIs to learn how the children's menu is prepared once a training course within the intervention project has been completed. Structured interviews were also conducted with educators to identify the most useful ludic and audiovisual material to teach children eating habits and physical activity. The quantitative study was carried out through the analysis of the quality of the menu eaten by children in the CDIs. For this study, a validated questionnaire was applied. Result: It was observed that the children's eating behavior depends on the control that the educator has, and it is different in each CDI; so, in some CDIs the children eat in a more relaxed way while in others they scream, hit things, etc. The food staff indicates that they have a similar organization in all CDIs, however, menus are altered for different reasons; this fact brings benefits and disadvantages. The teachers commented that stories and food replicas were within the preferred nutrition material to work with children. On the other hand, the analysis of the menus showed an ACCEPTABLE quality, with the fulfillment of 59%. Conclusions: The majority of preschoolers eat three times of food in the CDIs. In addition, it was observed that the attitude and habits that the educators have at the table influence directly on the feeding behavior of the children at the time of eating. Consequently, it is very important to monitor all aspects and to correct the factors that influence the children's eating behavior

Background: chronic malnutrition and food insecurity are serious problems worldwide, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean, where 23% of Ecuadorian children suffer from chronic malnutrition. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this situation, as evidenced in a study conducted in Child Development Centers (CDI) in Cuenca, Ecuador, in 2018, where 71.4% of children faced food insecurity at different levels. This raises concerns about the impact on the health and development of preschool children, underscoring the need for specific measures to improve the food security of this group. Objective: To describe the knowledge and attitudes of staff working in the CDIs of the two cantons belonging to Azuay regarding post-pandemic 2023 food security. Method: to address this problem, two tools were used: focus groups and semi-structured interviews, with the objective of assessing the knowledge and attitudes of personnel on food safety in the IDCs. We worked with 5 people from each center and the data collected were analyzed using the ATLAS.ti program. The results revealed a low level of knowledge about food safety in both IDCs, with a greater lack in the Cuenca IDC. In addition, attitudes of mistrust and ignorance towards the subject were observed in both centers. The challenges identified include the lack of follow-up to existing food security policies in the two IDCs. In conclusion, a worrying lack of familiarity on the part of staff regarding food security was identified in both IDCs, attributable to a lack of specific education on the topic. This underscores the urgent need to implement training programs and strengthen policy enforcement to ensure a safe and healthy environment for the development of preschool children in these facilities.
