dc.descriptionEating habits are defined as a set of behaviors and conducts that collectively influence the selection, preparation, and consumption of food. Insulin resistance is characterized by a decrease in the body's ability to respond adequately to insulin, the key hormone in the regulation of glucose metabolism. Objective: To determine the relationship between eating habits and insulin resistance in adults at the Quevedo General Hospital during the period October 2024 - May 2025. Methodology: This research was field, non-experimental, correlational with a cross-sectional approach. Results: The sample consisted of 132 adults, of which 57.6% were female and 42.4% male. According to age, adults aged 26 to 35 years predominated, representing 31.1%, followed by those aged 36 to 45 years with 28%, those aged 18 to 25 years with 25% and finally, adults aged 46 to 50 years, representing 15.9%. Regarding dietary habits, 54.5% of participants consumed cereals and derivatives daily, while 40.9% included vegetables in their diet, and 40.2% consumed milk and derivatives. On a weekly basis, 35.6% of adults ate legumes three or more times a week, 28.8% consumed milk and derivatives with the same frequency, and 24.2% reported a similar consumption of meat. On the other hand, it was highlighted that 37.9% of adults never consumed sweets, and 31.8% did not ingest sugar; it was evident that adults with unhealthy eating habits had a higher prevalence of insulin resistance, reaching 55.3%, while those who maintained healthy habits presented a considerably lower percentage, only 20.5%. Regarding insulin resistance, it was found that 65.2% of the sample studied presented this condition, while 34.8% did not. Finally, a significant relationship was identified between eating habits and insulin resistance with a value of (p = < .001). In conclusion, eating habits influence insulin resistance, which is why the importance of intervening with a nutritional education strategy to improve the health of the population studied is highlighted.es_ES

dc.description.abstractLos hábitos alimentarios se definen como un conjunto de conductas y comportamientos que influyen de manera colectiva en la selección, preparación y consumo de alimentos. La resistencia a la insulina se caracteriza por la disminución de la capacidad del organismo para responder adecuadamente a la insulina, la hormona clave en la regulación del metabolismo de la glucosa. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre los hábitos alimentarios y la resistencia a la insulina en adultos del Hospital General Quevedo durante el periodo octubre 2024 – mayo 2025. Metodología: Esta investigación fue de campo, no experimental, correlacional con enfoque transversal. Resultados: la muestra estuvo constituida por 132 adultos, de los cuales el 57.6% eran de sexo femenino y el 42.4% masculinos. De acuerdo a la edad, los adultos de 26 a 35 años predominaron, representando el 31.1%, seguidos por aquellos de 36 a 45 años con un 28%, de 18 a 25 años con un 25% y finalmente, los adultos de 46 a 50 años, representaron el 15.9%. En cuanto a los hábitos alimentarios, el 54.5% de los participantes consumió cereales y derivados diariamente, mientras que el 40.9% incluyó verduras y hortalizas en su dieta, y el 40.2% consumió leche y derivados. A nivel semanal, el 35.6% de los adultos ingirió legumbres tres o más veces a la semana, el 28.8% consumió leche y derivados con la misma frecuencia, y el 24.2% señaló un consumo similar de carnes. Por otro lado, se destacó que el 37.9% de los adultos nunca consumió dulces, y el 31.8% no ingirió azúcar; se evidenció que los adultos con hábitos alimentarios poco saludables tuvieron una mayor prevalencia de resistencia a la insulina, alcanzando un 55.3%, mientras que los que mantuvieron hábitos saludables presentaron un porcentaje considerablemente menor, de solo el 20.5%. Con respecto a la resistencia a la insulina, se encontró que el 65.2% de la muestra estudiada presentó esta condición, mientras que el 34.8% no. Finalmente se identificó una relación significativa entre los hábitos alimentarios y la resistencia a la insulina con un valor de (p = < .001). En conclusión, los hábitos alimentarios influyen en la resistencia a la insulina, por lo cual es destaca la importancia de intervenir con una estrategia de educación nutricional para mejor la salud de la población estudiada.es_ES
