Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTW) are two multifactorial pathological conditions that have been increasing in prevalence worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate how various sociodemographic variables healthy habits associated with the presence or absence MetS HTW. Methodology: This employed a mixed-methods approach, consisting retrospective longitudinal cross-sectional descriptive study, analyzing 44,939 healthcare workers MS HTW across four professional categories relationship between age, sex, smoking, physical activity, adherence Mediterranean diet using three diagnostic criteria. Descriptive analysis included categorical quantitative variables, which were assessed through frequencies, Student's t-test, chi-square, binary logistic regression models. Logistic Cohen's kappa used associations concordances. Age, lack activity showed strongest (OR: 2.65-2.84). results highlight importance other factors metabolic prevention. Results: most strongly evaluated odds ratios revealed significant values: age (9.07-13.71 for 13.42 HTW), sex (2.82-3.31 3.72 (2.65-2.84 2.40 HTW). Conclusions: risk developing among personnel is influenced by lifestyle habits, highest ORs observed nursing assistants orderlies. Future research delves deeper into causal severity will improve understanding facilitate development preventive activities reduce their incidence.

Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) is a highly prevalent pathophysiological entity implicated in the development of wide variety metabolic, cardiovascular, and endocrine disorders. The aim this study to assess association between sociodemographic variables healthy habits with IR risk scales. Methodology: This dual study, incorporating both longitudinal-retrospective cross-sectional designs, analyzed healthcare workers across four professional categories (physicians, nurses, technicians, auxiliary personnel). It examined age, sex, category, smoking status, physical activity, adherence Mediterranean diet elevated scores on insulin Results: All were associated presence values scales, activity showing strongest (reflected odds ratio values). Conclusions: profile an individual higher presenting scales would be elderly male health worker who smoker physically inactive, low diet.

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(4), P. 649 - 649

Excessive body adiposity is a significant public health challenge on global scale. This study aimed to investigate the association between various sociodemographic factors and healthy lifestyle habits presence or absence of elevated levels. Two studies were conducted, retrospective longitudinal cross-sectional descriptive study. The analysis included 44,939 healthcare workers, categorised into four professional groups, explore relationship age, sex, smoking, physical activity, adherence Mediterranean diet adiposity, assessed as fat (BF) visceral (VF) Descriptive statistics encompassed categorical quantitative variables, analysed using frequencies, Student's t-tests, chi-square tests, multinomial logistic regression models. Associations, concordances, correlations further examined Cohen's Pearson's kappa coefficients. Age, activity most strongly associated with BF VF Odds ratios (ORs) indicated following associations: individuals aged 60 years older exhibited ORs 6.71 (95% CI: 5.68-7.74) for 12.18 10.01-14.26) VF; male sex was 2.21 2.06-2.36) 12.51 11.29-13.74) VF. Sedentary behaviour linked 3.69 3.41-3.97) 4.20 3.78-4.63) Among professionals, nursing assistants orderlies demonstrated highest levels adipose tissue accumulation. Elevated among personnel are significantly by factors, pronounced risk observed in orderlies. Further research focusing causal relationships behaviours this population will provide valuable insights support design targeted preventive strategies mitigate its prevalence.
