Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Risk in a Higher Education Community of North-Eas...
Duarte, Carlos Manuel Teixeira; Magalhães, Pedro; Saldanha, Laissa de Sousa; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Bragada, José A.Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is considered one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyse the risk of developing T2D in a higher education community of Bragança, North-Eastern Portugal. The observational, cross-sectional and prospective sample comprised 3021 individuals, aged between 18 and 64 years old, of whom 1759 were women (mean age 24.16 ± 8.80 years) and 1263 were men (mean a...

Bragada, José A.; Teixeira, J.A.; Bragada, João P.; Duarte, Carlos Manuel Teixeira; Pontes, João H.; Saldanha, Laissa de Sousa; Magalhães, PedroThe prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has been increasing exponentially in the Portuguese population. Primary prevention using physical activity (PA), exercise and healthy lifestyles seems to be limited. Thus, current study aims to present the design and preliminary findings of a pilot community intervention for patients with MetS. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted between April and Jul...
