    RELACIÓN DE LA MASA MUSCULAR POR BIOIMPEDANCIA Y LAS COMPLICACIONES VASCULARES EN DIABETES MELLITUS TIPO 2

    Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated glucose levels, which over time can cause severe vascular complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Body composition, particularly lean mass, fat-free mass, and skeletal muscle mass is a key factor in preventing these complications. This study evaluated the relationship between body composition, measured by bioimpedance, and vascular complications in T2DM patients. Methods. A quantitative, correlational, and multivariate study was conducted with 88 T2DM patients aged 18 to 90 years from diabetes clubs in the province of Tungurahua. Bioimpedance (Inbody S10) was used to measure body composition. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and principal component analysis with SPSS. Results. The results showed that lean mass and fat-free mass decreased significantly with age, which correlates with a higher risk of vascular complications. Skeletal muscle mass had a weaker correlation with complications, especially in the case of retinopathy. Microvascular complications, such as neuropathy and nephropathy, were more related to lean mass and fatfree mass. Conclusions. Preserving lean mass and fat-free mass are critical factors for reducing the risk of vascular complications in T2DM patients. Physical exercise and proper nutrition are suggested to maintain a healthy body composition, especially in older adults, as a key strategy to prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications

    Estado nutricional y sus factores asociados en estudiantes de nutrición y dietética e ingeniería mecánica
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Nutrición y Dietética, 2024-05-01) Cedeño Lobato, Melanie Johanna; Guanga Lara, Verónica Elizabeth Nut. Mg.
    The objective of this research was to relate the nutritional status and associated factors in students of the careers of Nutrition and Dietetics and Mechanical Engineering of the academic period April 2023-September 2024 and to compare the nutritional status of the sixth semester students of both careers, evaluating the nutritional status by bioimpedance and the associated factors through a structured questionnaire of 25 questions with a section to determine each variable. The sample was selected in a non probabilistic manner for convenience, applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sample size was 80 students, 34 of whom were from the Nutrition and Dietetics program and 46 from the Mechanical Engineering program. It was determined that there is a significant association between nutritional status and the following variables: gender, since male individuals show a higher percentage of fat hypertrophy than female gender; In the course of the career, it is observed that Mechanical Engineering presents a diagnosis of fat hypertrophy and muscle mass deficit, contrary to Nutrition and Dietetics, where it is mostly shown to be normal muscles; The consumption of fast food, because those who do have a large consumption of them show hypertrophy of body fat mass compared to those who do not eat them.
