Anthropometric Characteristics, Diettic Intake and Chronotype in Ecuadorian Adults
View through CrossRef
Anthropometric characteristics in a subject are a good indication of their body-weight status and diagnosis of overweight and obesity. O and O multifactorial, so today the curiosity arises to investigate new risk factors that predispose to increased body weight, including chronotype. The objective of this study is to evaluate the anthropometric characteristics and caloric intake according to the chronotype in sick Ecuadorian adults. This cross-sectional study consisted of 400 men and women aged between 18 and 63 years, who were hospitalized at the Enrique Garcés General Hospital in the city of Quito. Anthropometric measurements were taken using ISAK techniques. Calorie intake was measured by a 24-hour recall and food frequency, and the Horne and Osttberg questionnaire was applied to measure the chronotype of the subjects. Statistical analyses were performed in R and R studio software. The study subjects were classified into 4 groups depending on their chronotype: moderate morning, extreme morning, intermediate, and moderate evening. It was observed that moderate evening subjects had higher values of body weight, high waist circumference, high triceps skinfold, high percentage of fat mass, visceral fat, and caloric intake than the other groups (p < 0.05). Evening chronotype appears to be related to overweight and obesity and caloric intake.
Keywords: chronotype, overweight, anthropometry.
Resumen
Las características antropométricas en un sujeto son una buena indicación de su estado de peso corporal y diagnóstico de sobrepeso y obesidad. O y O multifactoriales, por lo que en la actualidad surge la curiosidad de investigar nuevos factores de riesgo que predispongan al aumento de peso corporal, entre ellos el cronotipo. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar las características antropométricas y el consumo calórico según el cronotipo en adultos ecuatorianos enfermos. En este estudio transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 400 hombres y mujeres entre 18 y 63 años de edad que se encontraban hospitalizados en el Hospital General Enrique Garcés de la ciudad de Quito. Las medidas antropométricas se tomaron mediante técnicas ISAK. La ingesta de calorías se midió mediante un recordatorio de 24 horas y la frecuencia de los alimentos. Y se aplicó el cuestionario de Horne y Osttberg para medir el cronotipo de los sujetos. Los análisis estadísticos se realizaron en el software R y R studio. Los sujetos de estudio se clasificaron en 4 grupos según su cronotipo: Moderado matutino, extremo matutino, intermedio y moderado vespertino. Se observó que los sujetos vespertinos moderados tenían valores más altos de peso corporal, circunferencia de cintura alta, pliegue cutáneo tricipital alto, porcentaje alto de masa grasa, grasa visceral e ingesta calórica que los demás grupos (p<0,05). El cronotipo vespertino parece estar relacionado con el sobrepeso y la obesidad y la ingesta calórica.
