    Obesity and overweight are cardiometabolic factors that increase the risk of diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, associated with unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles; these health issues have been declared global epidemics. Objective: To determine cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese adults in a rural Ecuadorian population. Methodology: The study was conducted in the Pisacha neighborhood of Ambato, Ecuador, from May to August 2024. Using an observational and descriptive approach, 48 individuals aged 20 to 64 were studied. Anthropometric measurements, waist circumference, fasting and occasional glucose levels (measured by glucometer), two blood pressure readings, and the risk factor questionnaire created by the Mexican National Secretariat were administered. Results: The analysis shows that men predominate in the 20–44 age group, while women are more common in the 45–64 age group. Obesity is more prevalent among women, and overweight among men. Sixty-five percent of respondents do not exercise regularly, and optimal blood pressure is more frequent in men aged 20–44. Additionally, 46% of those with overweight and obesity present positive casual glycemia results. Conclusions: Overweight is more common in men than in women, while physical inactivity is one of the most concerning factors, as most respondents engage in little or no exercise, with higher prevalence among women. Higher age and obesity are associated with borderline blood pressures, and overweight and obesity predispose individuals to positive casual glycemia results.

    Introduction: Blood hypertension (HTA) is a disorder in which blood vessels persistently have high blood pressure and affects more than 1280 million adults in the world. Objective: Design and measure the reliability of an instrument to evaluate the performance of nursing professionals in primary health care: arterial hypertension Method: Quantitative approach, experimental design, descriptive and transversal. Development of an instrument to determine its reliability and validity of content. The sample used for the evaluation of internal reliability was composed of 10 patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension who are treated in health centers in zone 3 belonging to the province of Cotopaxi of Salcedo canton who agreed to collaborate with the investigation, check the comprehension of the questions and the operation of the instrument. Internal consistency was determined by calculating Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient. Results: Experts on the topic of arterial hypertension evaluated the relevance, relevance, and clarity of the 20 items divided into 4 dimensions, qualifying them as applicable. The internal consistency of Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.96, which shows that the formulation of the items is reasonable, satisfactorily defined and is adequate in the presence of the questionnaire. Conclusions. The results obtained to evaluate the instrument and the application of the pilot were adequate. This instrument is valid and reliable, which justifies its use in research. The instrument is easy and quick to apply, allowing to know the perception of hypertensive patients about the care received by the nursing staff in the PHC.

    “Factores que inciden en el abandono al tratamiento en pacientes hipertensos que acuden al centro de salud tipo “a” de Mulliquindil Santa Ana del Cantón Salcedo”
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Enfermería, 2018-10-01) Pilataxi Navarrete, Rocío Paulina; Andrade Coronel Lcda. M.sg., Neida del Rocío
    High blood pressure and non-adherence to therapy are a serious problem for both the patient and the health system and the state in general; in the Santa Ana parish of the Cantón Salcedo it is evident the growing population of hypertensive patients in recent years, which is why it is important to identify hypertensive patients and the influencing factors in the abandonment of antihypertensive treatment in these patients. The present is a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and field study in which two data collection instruments were applied, the first one "Abandonment of antihypertensive treatment" to identify abandonment of antihypertensive treatment and the second "Instrument to evaluate the factors that influence in the adherence to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments in patients with risk factors for cardiovascular disease "for which we worked with a sample of 120 hypertensive patients. The results showed that 100% of the sample partially abandoned the antihypertensive treatment taking into account that the therapy includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, that is, a large part of the hypertensive population does not modify their lifestyles, specifically to adopt a healthy diet and the realization of physical activity. In the same way, several factors affect such abandonment as socioeconomic factors, with income that does not allow them to access the diet and the indicated pharmacological treatment.
