There haven't been many studies centered on public university students in Ecuador, which is why a previous collection of sociodemographic data and food frequency was conducted through validated surveys, to determine the current situation of the population. Through this, it is expected to take actions that improve the nutritional status and knowledge about nutrition among students, thus preventing malnutrition in all its forms. To relate the nutritional status with the sociodemographic characteristics in university students of the career of nutrition and dietetics. The study carried out was observational and descriptive, with a quantitative approach, made up of a population of 29 students distributed between men and women. Of the total population studied, this was distributed in 82.8% women and 17.2% men. In which it was observed that ethnicity and household income have an impact on body fat reserves and protein consumption of students, other sociodemographic variables such as sex, area of residence, family nucleus, monetary income and the basic services did not show a significant relationship with the nutritional status and body composition of the students according to the established value of chi square p=<0.05. The bioimpedance technique was used to assess nutritional status, and then nutritional status was determined using the body mass index (BMI). As a result, it was found that there was only a significant relationship between ethnicity and the percentage of f at, as well as between household monetary income and the percentage of protein consumed. No significant relationships were found with other sociodemographic factors evaluated.Item Calidad de sueño y el estado nutricional en docentes de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2023-09-22) Chauca Toapanta, Veronica Natali; Zuñiga Sanchez, Valeria MonserrathPoor sleep quality has negative effects on health due to alterations in metabolism. The objective of the study was to identify the relationship between sleep quality and nutritional status of teachers of the Universidad Tecnica de Ambato, through anthropometric and dietary assessment. The study was a descriptive observational cross-sectional study, where the sample consisted of 38 teachers between 29 and 59 years of age. Two questionnaires were used for the study: the Pittsburgh sleep quality index and the food consumption frequency questionnaire according to the IASE healthy eating index. The statistical analysis was performed in the IBM SPSS Statistics 2021 program, where it was found that 65.8% of the study sample had poor sleep quality, while 44.7% were overweight and 5.3% obese, measured by body mass index (BMI); likewise, body fat percentage, body fat area, waist circumference were altered, all of which shows that most teachers have altered body composition. The 94.7% presented a diet in need of change and 5.3% an unhealthy diet, that is to say, the total population has inadequate eating habits. No statistical significance was found between sleep quality and body composition (p>0.05), however, a close relationship was observed in the percentage of body fat (p 0.06). When sleep quality was related to diet, the same result was obtained. Consequently, although there was no statistically significant relationship between nutritional status and sleep quality, important trends were observed.Item Valoración del estado nutricional de escolares que practican fútbol(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2023-09-22) Aldás Garcés, Stephany María; Pasochoa Miniguano, Fausto EnriqueThe present research work determined the nutritional status of schoolchildren who play soccer at the "Escuela del 10" Academy of Ficoa-Ambato by evaluating anthropometric indicators and food intake, in a sample of 92 children and adolescents who were selected by exclusion and inclusion criteria.

The results determined that the total population studied (92) for the most part began soccer practice at 3 years of age, it was concluded that 95.65% reported a T/E within normal ranges, 50% presented a Optimal BMI/E, 60.9% do not present cardiometabolic risk, with respect to body composition, 60% have an adequate amount of fat and 82.6% have an amount of muscle mass appropriate for age.
