RESUMO
Introduction: Introduction: little attention has been paid to the effect of exposure to weight-related stigma on the quality of life of young Chileans with obesity. Objective: to identify the prevalence of weight-related stigma and to analyze its association with obesity and the perception of quality of life in university students from Valparaíso, Chile. Methods: correlational type study and cross-sectional design. Two hundred and sixty-two university students participated, from 18 to 29 years old, matriculated in the Faculty of Health Sciences of a public university in Valparaíso, Chile. Quality of life was assessed with the WHOQOL-BREF scale, weight-related stigma with the Brief Stigmatizing Situations Inventory (SSI), and nutritional status with body mass index (BMI) classification. The application of the questionnaires was on-line and the answers were anonymous. Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between the variables, adjusted for gender and age. Results: the prevalence of stigma related to weight was 13,2 % in eutrophic, 24,4 % in overweight and 68,0 % in obese. Weight-related stigma, rather than obesity itself, is associated with poorer perceived physical health (OR: 4.30; 95 % CI: 2.10-8.80), psychological health (OR: 4.51; 95 % CI: 2.20-9.26), social relationships (OR: 3.21; 95 % CI: 1.56-6.60) and environment (OR: 2.86; 95 % CI: 1.33-6.14). Conclusion: students exposed to stigmatizing situations related to weight had a worse perception of their quality of life compared to those not stigmatized.
Introducción: Introducción: el efecto de la exposición al estigma relacionado en la calidad de vida de los jóvenes con obesidad ha recibido poca atención. Objetivo: identificar la prevalencia de estigma relacionado con el peso y analizar su asociación con la obesidad y la percepción de la calidad de vida en estudiantes universitarios de Valparaíso, Chile. Metodología: estudio de tipo correlacional y diseño transversal. Participaron 262 estudiantes universitarios, de 18 a 29 años de edad, matriculados en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de una universidad pública de Valparaíso, Chile. La calidad de vida se evaluó con la escala WHOQOL-BREF; el estigma relacionado con el peso, con el Inventario breve de Situaciones Estigmatizantes (SSI); y el estado nutricional, con la clasificación del índice de masa corporal (IMC). La aplicación de los cuestionarios fue en línea y las respuestas fueron anónimas. Se realizaron modelos de regresión logística múltiple para evaluar la asociación entre las variables, ajustados por sexo y edad. Resultados: la prevalencia de estigma relacionado con el peso fue del 13,2 % en eutróficos, 24,4 % en sobrepesos y 68,0 % en obesos. El estigma relacionado con el peso, más que la obesidad en sí misma, se asoció con una peor salud física percibida (OR: 4,30; 95 % IC: 2,10-8,80), salud psicológica (OR: 4,51; 95 % IC: 2,20-9,26), relaciones sociales (OR: 3,21; 95 % IC: 1,56-6,60) y ambiente (OR: 2,86; 95 % IC: 1,33-6,14). Conclusiones: los estudiantes expuestos a situaciones estigmatizantes relacionadas con el peso tuvieron una peor percepción de su calidad de vida en comparación con aquellos no estigmatizados.

BACKGROUND: Suicidal behavior is a public health problem, and adolescents are one of the main risk groups. Aim: To analyze the association among suicidal behavior, consumption of psychoactive substances, and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in adolescents attending schools in Valparaiso, Chile. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Five hundred-fifty adolescents enrolled in a public school participated in the study. HRQoL was evaluated through KIDSCREEN-27, while suicidal behavior and the consumption of psychoactive substances were measured with the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS). RESULTS: The prevalence of suicidal behavior was higher in women and in those who used tobacco or marijuana in the last month. Respondents with a bad perception of physical well-being reported a higher frequency of suicidal ideation than those with a good perception (Odds ratio (OR): 2.24; 95% confidence: 1.49-3.36). Likewise the frequency of suicidal ideation was higher in those with a bad perception of psychological well-being (OR: 3.87; 95%CI: 2.09-7.71), and a bad perception of autonomy and relation with parents (OR:2.46; 95%CI: 1.34-4.54). Suicide planning was also associated with dimensions of autonomy and relation with parents (OR: 2.32; 95% CI: 1.23-4.38) and dimensions of friends and social support (OR: 1.86; 95%CI:1.05-3.28). Suicide attempt was associated with the dimensions of friendship and social support (OR: 1.83; 95%CI: 1.02-3.28) and school environment (OR: 1,92; 95%CI: 1,23-3,01). Conclusions: Suicide ideation is associated with worse physical and psychological well-being. Suicide planning and suicide attempt is associated with a worse perception about the relation with parents or friends, social support, and school environment.

Background: Adolescence is considered a nutritionally vulnerable period of life, since their eating habits are influenced by factors that can promote the consumption of non-nutritious food. Aim: To analyze the relation between eating habits, obesity, and the perception of Health-Related Quality of Life in school-aged adolescents. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 550 adolescents aged 16 ± 1 years (60% women) attending a public education institution in Valparaíso, Chile. The Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) for eating habits and the KIDSCREEN-27 survey for health-related quality of life were self-administered online. The answers were anonymous. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the variables, which was adjusted for age and sex. Results: Ten percent of men and 6% of women were obese. Those with an inadequate consumption of fruits had a worst perception of their physical well-being, autonomy and relationship with their parents. Psychological well-being and school environment were perceived worst among those that did not consume breakfast. Obese respondents also reported a poorest physical health. Conclusions: Inadequate eating habits and obesity have a negative effect of health-related quality of life among adolescents.

Introducción: Las personas sin hogar aumentaron en Chile. El consumo riesgoso de alcohol es una conducta que podría afectar negativamente su calidad de vida. Objetivos: Comparar la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) de personas sin hogar usuarios de un centro diurno de Valparaíso con población chilena de referencia; y comparar la CVRS de personas sin hogar con y sin consumo riesgoso de alcohol. Métodos: Estudio transversal realizado con 53 personas sin hogar usuarios de un centro de acogida diurno en Valparaíso, Chile 2015-2016. Se aplicó un cuestionario que consultó sobre variables sociodemográficas, CVRS (SF-12) y consumo de alcohol (AUDIT). El análisis estadístico se realizó con STATA versión 12. Resultados: De los participantes 54,71 por ciento presentó consumo riesgoso de alcohol. El tamaño del efecto de las diferencias entre las medias de las puntuaciones de las personas sin hogar vs. población de referencia chilena es grande para siete dimensiones de CVRS, siendo mayores en función física (r = 1,89), rol emocional (r = 2,12) y salud mental (r = 1,85) . No hubo diferencias entre la CVRS de las personas sin hogar con consumo riesgoso de alcohol comparado con los que declaran consumo de bajo riesgo. Discusión: Los resultados coinciden con estudios que dan cuenta que la CVRS de la población objetivo es peor que en la población general y que en personas con enfermedades crónicas. Conclusiones: Habitar en la calle afecta todas las dimensiones de la CVRS. Las dimensiones de la CVRS no se encuentran afectadas por el consumo riesgoso de alcohol(AU)
Introduction: The amount of homeless people has increased in Chile. The risky alcohol consumption is a behavior that could negatively affect their quality of life. Objectives: To compare the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of homeless people users of a Valparaíso day center with the Chilean reference population and compare the HRQOL of homeless people with and without risky alcohol consumption. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted on 53 homeless users of a day center shelter in Valparaíso, Chile from 2015 to 2016. A questionnaire was applied for sociodemographic variables, HRQOL (SF-12) and alcohol consumption (AUDIT). The statistical analysis was performed with STATA version 12. Results: 54.71 percent of the participants presented risky alcohol consumption. The effect size of the differences between the means of the scores of the homeless vs. The effect size of the differences between the mean scores of homeless people compared to the Chilean reference population is large for seven HRQoL dimensions, which is greater in physical function (r = 1.89), emotional role ( r = 2.12) and mental health (r = 1.85). HRQoL for homeless people was no different concerning risky alcohol consumption compared to those who declared low risk consumption. Discussion: The results coincide with a study that shows that the HRQOL of the target population is worse than in the general population and that in people with chronic diseases. Conclusions: Living on the streets affects all the dimensions of the HRQOL. Dimensions of HRQOL are not affected by risky alcohol consumption(AU)
