abstract = {Objective: To determine the prevalence and characterize the condition of disabled people in the municipality Los Santos, Santander in 2010 and 2011. 



Materials and methods: A descriptive study was conducted using the tool of record "Survey of Persons with Disabilities and its attendant". Physiotherapy and bacteriology students from the University of Santander (UDES), previously trained, collected the information by interview. We use descriptive statistics applying central tendency measures and absolute and relative frequencies. 



Results: We found 108 people with disabilities; the prevalence of disability in this population was 1.3% (95% CI 1.1 -1.6), the place with the highest prevalence was Los Teres (9.4%; 95% CI 5.1-15.5). Of the 108 disabled people, 48% were female and 47.2% were between 15 and 44 years old. The body structure more impaired was the nervous system with 64.8% and general tasks and demands were the most affected (57.4%). Problems with services, transport systems and policies, social security, health, and education were the main facilitator (57.4%). 



Conclusion: Disability as a public health problem affecting the activities, participation and performance of people with disabilities decreasing their individual development and opportunities for integration into society.},

abstract = {Introduction: the voluntary donation of blood is a challenge for blood banks; it is intended for blood donations to be increased, once the preconceptions in the process become known. Objective: establish the main social preconceptions related to the voluntary donation of blood. Methods: a descriptive transversal study of a sample of 100 adults. The data was gathered through the application of surveys conducted during the months of July to December of 2010. The variables were: age, sex, origin, social and financial status, level of education and main preconceptions related to the donation of blood. A descriptive analysis was conducted; the software used was Epilnfo version 3.5.1. Results: the main preconception for women was "gaining weight" with 70.59%, while for men it was "blood is commercialized" with 36.36%. Discussion: the age described in the study and the social and cultural aspects behave according to those predetermined; the social preconceptions are established mainly by the feminine gender with the weight increase. Conclusion: the social preconceptions allow for the subjects to have a greater negative predisposition towards donating blood.},

abstract = {We present the health and education reality of disabled persons (DP) from Los Santos, Santander in 2010 and 2011. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was done with the instrument “Survey of Persons with Disabilities and its caregiver”. An interview was performed by 17 last year students of Physiotherapy and Bacteriology previously trained. Information was collected from 108 DP (48.1% female). With reference to health, the conditions that most affect them are nervous system disorders (64.8%), with a principal diagnosis of Epilepsy (18%) and Cerebral Palsy (15%). 89.6% of DP belongs to a subsidized health regime, 61% went once to rehabilitation, and physiotherapy was the main service received (63.2%); the primary reason for not attending rehabilitation was the lack of financial resources (45.7%). Regarding education, for DP aged three years old and more, 46.2% could not read or write, 37.4% of DP would not continue studying if they have the opportunity, and 33.6% did not know or did not answer this question. In terms of education, support services to DP who are enrolled in school, 50% have pedagogical support and the remaining do not have any service. Furthermore, 62.5% believe that teachers do not adequately address the special needs of DP and 58.5% believe that the education of DP has not been responsive to their needs. We conclude that disability is a public health problem affecting the health and education of DP, reducing their individual development and the opportunities for integration into society.},

abstract = {Purpose: To evaluate the reliability and agreement of the time sitting items from the IPAQ and GPAQ.



Methods: An evaluation of diagnostic technologies was done. The IPAQ and GPAQ were administered by two interviewers to a sample of 92 adults (42.4 ± 13.9 years), twice with an interval of time between 3 to 6 days, in the same order of application established randomly in the first test. In the analysis, we assessed the test-retest reliability of the sitting items from the IPAQ and GPAQ and between items reliability by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (CCI 2.1) and their confidence intervals at 95% (95% CI). The level of agreement was established by the Bland-Altman method.



Results: Test-retest reliability to time sitting items of the IPAQ was good (ICC: 0.77 (95% CI: 0.67-0.84) and very good to GPAQ (ICC: 0.83 95% CI 0.76-0.89). The agreement was poor with a mean difference of -0.04 (limits of agreement: -4.95, 4.9 h/d) using the IPAQ and 0.15 h/d (limits of agreement -4.2, 4.5 h/d) using the GPAQ. Between items, reliability was very good in the first test (CCI: 0.81 95% CI 0.73-0.87) and in the second test (CCI:0.82 95% CI 0.74-0.88); the level of agreement was poor in the first test with a mean difference of -0.54 (limits of agreement: -4.7; 3.6 h/d) and in the second test -0.36 (limits of agreement: -4.9; 4.2 h/d).



Conclusions: The measurement of sedentary behavior or physical hypoactivity through the items of the IPAQ and GPAQ showed good reliability but poor agreement, it is suggested to improve the measurement of this behavior. Additionally, the results showed that the sitting item of the IPAQ and GPAQ provide similar information.},

abstract = {The aim of this study was to describe the grip strength in a sample of healthy workers in Manizales and evaluate possible associations with age, gender, occupation, and dominance. Participants: 199 healthy workers (39.8 ± 11.5 years); 53.8% female. The strength was measured by triplicate with a Jamar dynamometer, the natural logarithm (ln) of the averaged output variable. As explanatory variables included gender, age, occupation, and dominance. For the bivariate analysis test was used Wilcoxon sign rank. The associations were evaluated using simple linear models and multiple regression to estimate regression coefficients (β) and its standard error. Significance level α = 0.05. There was a difference of3.52 kg / FZA (95% CI 2.9, 4.1) for the strength of the right hand compared with the left. The gender difference was 9.17 kg / FZA (95% CI 6.5, 11.8) and 11.4 Kg / FZA (95% CI 9.04, 13.7) for right and left, respectively, both in favor of men. Multiple regression analysis showed significant coefficients (p\<0.0001) for males (β = 0.39 and 0.31) in the ln of the strength of the left and right hands, respectively. There was a significant trend (p \<0.0001) to decreased ln strength for each year of increasing age in both hands (β -0.010). There were no associations with occupation nor with dominance. These results show changes in grip strength associated with age and gender.},
