Resumen
BUSTOS LEON, GINA M.; RICO MENDOZA, ALEJANDRO; ARDILA PEREIRA, LAURA y BUSTOS LEON, KATRYN J.. Factors associated with non-communicable diseases in ex-combatants. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2024, vol.40, n.2, pp.475-491. Epub 02-Dic-2024. ISSN 0120-5552. https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.40.02.026.622.
Objective:
Identification of factors associated with noncommunicable diseases in ex-combatants of the FARC-EP resident in the Transitional Standardization Zone (ZVTN) in the department of Cesar(Colombia).
Methodology:
Cross-sectional analytical study in which 114 ex-combatants of the FARC-EP were evaluated, using sociodemographic questionnaire and STEP WISE application. Data were collected, analyzed and reported as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical comparisons were made between groups using SPSS 24 software.
Results:
Ex-combatants with more than 5 years of belonging to the group have 1.6 times the probability of presenting high levels of abdominal fat with an OR 1.62 (1.39 - 1.90), and 2.04 (1.38 - 3.01) times the probability of being overweight and obese.
Conclusions:
The data found suggests that exposure to armed conflict could affect the physical health of ex-combatants, related to a greater probability of developing noncommunicable diseases such as: hypertension, diabetes, lung cancer, among others.
