In this connection, it was observed that students from the Universidad Autonoma de Tlaxcala on admission and decreased physical activity has an impact at the body mass increase. This condition requires the identification of modifiable risk factors to influence the reduction of negative effects. So, will prioritize activities that enrich the Institutional Development Program 2006-2010 to support political that build a healthy environment, promote food quality and incorporate physical activity into school as an effective means for reducing chronic disease risk.
Objectives. to identify risk factors for type 2 diabetes university degree in nutrition. Encourage students a participatory environment to health problems felt.
Material and methods. as descriptive cross. Sample of 108 students (35% of total population).
Results: parental DM2, anthropometry, morning feeding, physical activity. Focus groups. Results Mean age 20.5 years. 55% positive family history of diabetes, 20% of first-degree parental line. Nutritional status: 56% normal, 26% overweight and 11% obese. Waist fat distribution 35% positive risk involved. Breakfast: 49% miss breakfast at home. Psychological stress: 52% average 36% lower and 12% high. 90% sedentary. Risk of type 2 diabetes: 62% average 28% lower and 10% high. 9 participatory assessments.
