| description |
Obesity and diabetes (DBT) are diseases with a pandemic projection, due to various pathophysiological, clinical, social, and economic factors, presenting a close relationship with cardiovascular disease, increasing morbidity and mortality. Prevention measures are multiple and should be addressed jointly. Normalizing weight and reducing body fat play a central role in the pathogenesis and constitute a fundamental strategy in treatment. Nutritional therapy, regular physical activity, and metabolic screening can generate cost-effective guidelines with a population impact.
The aim of this study was to determine the overall prevalence of overweight/obesity and the risk of developing DBT in medical students at UNVM, cohort 2021-2022. 135 students were surveyed voluntarily and anonymously, with prior informed consent, who did not have DBT or other diseases. The Findrisc Score was used to determine the future risk of DBT. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and percentage of body fat (PBF, CUN BAE formula) were recorded. Categories for each gender included DBT risk (very low to very high) and weight (normal, overweight, and obesity). Statistical analyses included Pearson's covariance, ANOVA, prevalence, and R2 (p<0.05).
Of the 135 students surveyed, the average age was 20 years ± 2.6. In the female group (n=76), 5% had a moderate to high risk of developing DBT in the next 10 years. Anthropometric data in this group were as follows: BMI: 23 kg/m2 ± 4.4; WC: 72 cm ± 9.4; PBF: 29% ± 7.1. In the male group (n=59), 10% had a moderate to high risk of DBT at 10 years. Anthropometric data in this group were: BMI: 26 kg/m2 ± 2.8; WC: 77 cm ± 21; PBF: 28% ± 8.6. Significant correlations were found between anthropometric variables, with correlation values (r) ranging from 0.54 to 0.97 in women and from 0.52 to 0.74 in men, all with a p-value of <0.05.
The risk of developing diabetes in the next 10 years was particularly high in students with overweight or obesity. PBF proved to be a sensitive variable for identifying deviations in body weight. A strong association was observed between anthropometric variables, highlighting the importance of addressing them preventively.

La obesidad y la diabetes (DBT) son enfermedades de proyección pandémica, por diversos factores fisiopatológicos, clínicos, sociales y económicos, presentando una estrecha relación con la enfermedad cardiovascular, aumentando su morbimortalidad. Las medidas de prevención son múltiples y deben ser abordadas de manera conjunta. La normalización del peso y la reducción de la grasa corporal tienen un eje central en la fisiopatogenia y configuran una estrategia fundamental en el tratamiento. La terapia nutricional, actividad física regular y el screening metabólico pueden generar pautas costo-efectivas con impacto poblacional. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia general de sobrepeso/obesidad y riesgo de desarrollar DBT, en estudiantes de Medicina - UNVM, cohorte 2021-2022. Se encuestaron 135 alumnos/as en forma voluntaria y anónima, previo consentimiento informado, que no tuvieran DBT ni otras enfermedades. Se utilizó el Score de Findrisk para determinar riesgo futuro de DBT. Se registraron: talla, peso, índice de masa corporal (IMC), circunferencia de cintura abdominal (CCA) y porcentaje de grasa corporal (PCG, fórmula CUN BAE). Categorías para cada género: riesgo de DBT (muy bajo a muy alto) y peso (normal, sobrepeso y obesidad). Estadística: covarianza de Pearson, ANOVA, prevalencia y R2 (p<0,05). Se encuestaron 135 alumnos, edad promedio: 20 años ± 2,6. Grupo mujeres (n=76): 5 % riesgo DBT a 10 años (moderado a alto); datos antropométricos: IMC: 23 kg/m2 ± 4,4; CCA: 72 cm ± 9,4; PGC: 29 % ± 7,1. Grupo hombres (n=59): 10% riesgo de DBT (moderado a alto); datos antropométricos: IMC: 26 kg/m2 ± 2,8; CCA: 77 cm±21; PGC: 28% ±8,6. Correlaciones significativas: PGC-Findrisc: r 0,54 (mujeres) y r 0,63 (hombres); IMC-Findrisc: r 0,54 (mujeres) y r 0,63 (hombres); PGC-CCA: r 0,82 (mujeres) y r 0,52 (hombres); PGC-IMC: r 0,97 (mujeres) y r 0,74 (hombres), p<0,05. El riesgo de desarrollar diabetes a 10 años fue elevado, sobre todo en estudiantes con sobrepeso/obesidad. El PGC fue una variable sensible para determinar desvíos en el peso. Encontramos una alta asociación entre variables antropométricas que deben ser abordadas de manera preventiva como Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
