Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Introducción. El presente proyecto se deriva del estudio madre aprobado por el CEISH titulado “Valoración geriátrica integral en adultos mayores de 65–90 años del cantón Cuenca 2024–2025”. Su propósito es profundizar en la interacción entre la razón masa/masa grasa y anomalías cardiometabólicas en adultos mayores en comunidades rurales del Ecuador, considerando la relevancia clínica de estos componentes en el envejecimiento. Objetivo general. Analizar la asociación entre RLMG y la prevalencia de anomalías cardiometabólicas en adultos mayores residentes en comunidades rurales del Ecuador. Metodología. Estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal, basado en registros anonimizados del proyecto madre. Se utilizará bioimpedancia multifrecuencia para obtener mediciones de grasa visceral y masa magra segmentaria por regiones anatómicas. Se integrarán variables clínicas como glucemia, presión arterial y perfil lipídico. El análisis estadístico incluirá correlaciones bivariadas y modelos de regresión logística para estimar el poder predictivo de los indicadores cruzados. Resultado. Se espera identificar asociaciones significativas entre el predominio de grasa visceral y la disminución de masa magra segmentaria con marcadores de riesgo cardiometabólico. Los hallazgos permitirán proponer umbrales clínicos de referencia y construir perfiles metabólicos estratificados, útiles para la valoración geriátrica funcional y preventiva. Área de estudio general: Enfermería. Área de estudio específica: Salud y nutrición. Tipo de artículo: Original.
