An analysis was made on eating habits. 345 students were selected from the Universidad Autonoma de San Luís Potosí (Mexico) Faculty of Engineering, with a mean age of 23 years old. Aims: Determine patterns of dietary intake in a higher education population, by age group and sex. Methods and Material: Using a 24-hour reminder survey (R-24), dietary intake patterns were determined by age and sex groups and somatometry data were collected and information was collected on tobacco consumption, alcohol, physical activity, habits and lifestyles that could be associated with nutritional status and / or dietary intake. Statistical analysis used: All the information collected was duly codified and processed for further statistical treatment. To do this, databases were generated using the statistical program SPSS ver. 11.5, for the calculation of mean, standard deviation and correlations of all the information collected from the respondents Results: Body mass index (BMI) levels with a maximum trend between 20 and 24 kg / m2, which revealed normal weight in 57,3%, of these, 27,9% were in a BMI between 25 and 29 kg / m2, indicator of overweight. As for the nutritional index (IN), 60,6% are in the normal situation, that is, between 90 and 110, only 20,6% have an IN of 110-120, a marker of overweight and obesity. The 57,1% consume between 2000 and 3000 Kcal / day, (77,7% are men). 60,3% eat three times a day and only 16,8% have made any specific diet. 37,4% developed little physical activity, while 56,2% did not perform any type of activity. 28,4% are smokers and 58,3% are frequent drinkers and 39,3% drink alcohol in excess (more than 6 beers / day). Conclusions: A significant rate has been observed in the prevalence of overweight and obesity, especially among the group of male students. In addition, a high prevalence of sedentary lifestyle has been found in most of the respondents. The prevalence of tobacco consumption is significant among the surveyed population, especially among male students in the age group between 17 and 24 years old, although only about one third of the total population surveyed declares to be a smoker.

Objective. To evaluate the rejection, the chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) and the delay in the function of the same (DGF) due to obesity and high BMI. Material and method. In this work, 500 patients of both sexes kidney transplant followed for 5 years were evaluated, post-transplant measurements of biochemical parameters and anthropometric measurements were made. It was also recognized data of chronic nephropathy and delayed graft function. Results: Five years after the transplant, there was an increase in BMI and an increase in the components of the metabolic profile: triglycerides, total cholesterol and hyperglycemia, as well as blood pressure. As a consequence we have also observed an increase in the incidence of chronic kidney disease and delayed graft function. Conclusion. Obesity significantly increases the incidence of post-transplant complications, which can finally be done through injection. An adequate control of BMI in kidney transplant recipients would directly influence long-term renal graft survival, which reduced the delay in allograft function, the appearance of CAN and prolonged renal allograft survival.

Introduction. Questionnaires have long been the tool of choice for the measurement of physical activity in large population groups, however, they depend on the accuracy with which they are answered. Accelerometers, on the other hand, can directly measure physical activity, eliminate subjectivity and, allow comparisons with instruments such as questionnaires. Objective. Establish the correlation level of the Four by one-day physical activity questionnaire (FOPAQ) with the ActiGraph wGT3x-BT accelerometer based on the quantification of the daily physical activity of school children aged 6 to 11 years. Method. 107 schoolchildren were evaluated with the FOPAQ and the ActiGraph wGT3x-BT accelerometer from thursday to sunday. For the correlation analyzes, only 43 children were chosen who correctly answered the FOPAQ. The time spent in four levels of activity intensity was obtained: sedentary, light, moderate and vigorous, for both methods. Pearson and Spearman correlations were performed, in addition to a t-Student and Wilcoxon test of each of the variables between the FOPAQ and the accelerometer of the four days measured. Results The Spearman correlations ranged from -0,103 to 0,077 and the Pearson correlations ranged from -0,058 to 0,014. The FOPAQ overestimated the sedentary and vigorous activity time as well as underestimated the light and moderate activity time. Conclusion. No correlation of the FOPAQ with the accelerometer was found, so it is not possible to recommend its use even in boys and girls

Adolescence proves to be a key age for acquiring and maintaining healthy habits. Nowadays, numerous research studies link physical activity practice with academic performance, as well as the physical fitness state and the body composition with academic achievement. Objective: Review the grade of influence of physical-sport activity on the variable academic performance and to know the influence of sedentary lifestyle on academic performance. Method: For this purpose, various databases were analyzed, including PubMed and Google Scholar, choosing a total of 75 articles in the first selection, using a total of 18 finally. Results and Conclusions: In terms of results and conclusions, we can see how physical activity practice has a positive influence on academic performance, being the recommended time 30-60 minutes daily.

Alzheimer disease (AD) is clinically characterized as a cause of dementia present in older adults. Patients may experience anxiety and depression. Aluminum (Al) is a common metal in the environment and one of the most abundant. Most of Al ingestion comes from food, through different forms: food contaminated by Al, water and industrialized foods that have Al as a preservative and / or coloring, the water being the most bioavailable form to be absorbed by the intestine. Al is extremely proinflammatory, pathological and genotoxic, which is particularly detrimental to the homeostatic functioning of brain cells, especially at the level of normal cytoplasmic and genetic activities using phosphate. Its ingestion can lead to gradual loss of memory. Based on the above, the objective of the present work is to show systematically revised information from published studies related to the intake of aluminum and Alzheimer disease.
