RESUMO

To evaluate the association between altitude and cardiometabolic risk calculated with the weight-height ratio (WHtR) in the Peruvian adult population via the cross-sectional data analysis of the Peruvian Demographic and Health Survey 2021. A total of 26,117 adults from 18 to 64 years of age were included in the analysis. The dependent variable was cardiometabolic risk, defined as "Yes" if the WHtR was ≥0.5 and "No" if the WHtR was <0.5. Exposure was altitude of residence categorized as: <1500 meters above sea level (masl); 1500 to 2499 masl; 2500 to 3499 masl; and ≥3500 masl. Crude and adjusted Poisson regression models were used to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The mean WHtR in the population was 0.59 (standard deviation: 0.08), and 87.6% (95% CI: 86.9-88.2) were classified as at risk. After adjusting for sex, age, education level, well-being index, and area of residence, living at altitudes between 2500 and 3499 masl (aPR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.96-1.00) and ≥3500 masl (aPR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.93-0.97) were associated with lower cardiometabolic risk in comparison with living at <1500 masl. An inverse association was identified between living at a higher altitude and the proportion of cardiometabolic risk in the Peruvian adult population. However, at least 8 out of 10 people were identified as at risk in all categories of altitude.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos do ganho de peso no período de recria, dos 13 aos 19 meses de idade, em algumas medidas de desenvolvimento corporal de novilhas de corte de reposição, da raça Hereford, mantidas em pastagem nativa. O período experimental foi compreendido entre 15/11/2002 e 23/04/2003. Os tratamentos foram três taxas de ganho de peso, em animais de 13 a 14 meses de idade, sendo: G600 - 20 novilhas (208+1,8kg) submetidas a um ganho diário médio (GDM) de 0,595kg dia-1; G700 - 23 novilhas (197+1,7kg) submetidas a um GDM de 0,637kg dia-1 e G800 - 24 novilhas (181+1,2kg) submetidas a um GDM de 0,723kg dia-1. Os GDM foram estabelecidos para que todos os animais atingissem 300kg (ou 65 por cento do peso adulto) ao início da estação de monta. Foram avaliados os efeitos dos tratamentos sobre o peso, a altura da garupa (AG), o perímetro torácico (PT), a relação peso:altura (PA) e sobre o escore de trato reprodutivo (ETR). Não foram observadas diferenças (P>0,05) no incremento da AG e do PT e na PA entre os grupos experimentais. O peso vivo foi altamente correlacionado (P<0,05) com a AG, o PT e a PA ao longo de todo o período de recria. Os grupos G700 e G800, submetidos a maior taxa de ganho de peso, apresentaram maiores valores (P<0,05) de ETR em relação ao G600 ao início da estação de monta. A AG e a PA de novilhas de corte não foram afetadas por ganhos de peso entre 0,600 e 0,730kg dia-1 dos 13 aos 19 meses de idade. Novilhas submetidas a mais intensas taxas de crescimento (G700 e G800) demonstraram estar mais aptas a conceberem do que novilhas recriadas numa menor taxa de crescimento (G600), considerando um mesmo peso alvo ao final do perído de recria.(AU)

This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of growth rate during the rearing phase of 13 to 19 months old replacement beef heifers Hereford on body development reared on native pasture. The experiment was conducted from 11/15/2002 to 04/23/2003. The treatments were the three weight gain rates: G600 - 20 heifers (208+1.8kg) submitted to an average growth rate (AGR) of 0.595kg day-1; G700 - 23 heifers (197+1.7kg) with an AGR of 0.637kg day-1 and G800 - 24 heifers (181+1.2kg) with an AGR of 0.723kg day-1. The three AGR aimed for a body weight of 300kg (or 65 percent of the expected adult weight) at the end of the rearing phase. Treatment effects were determined on body weight, hip height (HH), heart girth (HG), weight:height ratio (WH) and reproductive tract score (RTS). No differences (P>0.05) among treatments were observed on the increment of HH, HG and WH at the end of the experiment. Body weight was highly correlated to HH, HG and WH along the whole rearing phase. The groups G700 and G800 with large growth rates showed higher RTS (P<0.05) than G600 at the end of the rearing phase. The HH and WH measurements taken on beef heifers are not affected by growth rates between 0.600 and 0.730kg day-1 from 13 to 19 months of age. Beef heifers submitted to higher rates of growth (G700 e G800) demonstrated to be more likely to conceive than heifers reared on a lower growth rate (G600), considering the same target weight at the end of the rearing phase.(AU)
