RESUMO
AIM: To investigate factors associated with gastric cancer (GC) in the Mexican population using a validated questionnaire. METHODS: We designed and validated in Spanish a Questionnaire to Find Factors Associated with Diseases of the Digestive Tract using GC as a model. A cross-sectional study using 49 subjects, with confirmed histopathological GC diagnosis, and 162 individuals without GC participated. Odds ratio and 95% CIs were estimated in univariate and multivariate analysis adjusted for possible confounding factors. In order to match age groups, a multivariate sub-analysis was performed in subjects ≥ 39 years of age and in females and males separately. RESULTS: In the univariate analysis, we found an association between GC and education to primary level or below, low socioeconomic status, the use of dental prostheses, omission of breakfast, consumption of very hot food and drink, addition of salt to prepared foods, consumption of salt-preserved foods and the pattern of alcohol consumption. We found protection against GC associated with the use of mouthwash, food refrigeration and regular consumption of fruit and vegetables. In the multivariate sub-analysis with subjects of ≥ 39 years, the omission of breakfast was identified as a risk factor for GC. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests an association between the omission of breakfast and the failure to refrigerate food with GC in the Mexican population.
RESUMO
La prevalencia de hipertensión arterial en la población de pacientes diabéticos estudiada fue de 53,6 por ciento , superior a la encontrada en otros estudios, sin diferencias de sexo. La edad promedio de diagnóstico de hipertensión arterial en esta población es de 57 años, siendo, en promedio 6 años posterior al diagnóstico de la DMNID. La frecuencia de hipertensión arterial se mantiene constante en 50 por ciento hasta los 20 años de evolución de la DMNID con un aumento posterior a mayor de edad. La prevalencia de hipertensión arterial aumenta cuando hay mal control metabólico ee IMC más altos. Las prevalencia de nefropatía en lapoblación de pacientes diabéticos fue de 14,4 por ciento . No se encontró asociación entre control metabólico y nefropatía, ni entre esta última e hipertensión arterial
