Background
Although physical activity is recommended as a measure for treatment and management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), little is known about the status of sedentary behavior, barriers and enablers to exercise, and the needs for exercise guidance in pregnant women with GDM.
Aim
The objectives of this study were to investigate the status of physical activity, sedentary behaviors and needs for exercise guidance in pregnant women with GDM, and explore its barriers, enablers and determinants.
Method
A cross-sectional study was conducted. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the data of exercise, sedentary behavior and barriers/enablers to exercise. Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to evaluate the physical activity. A stepwise multivariate logistic regression was conducted to analyze the determinants of exercise among pregnant women with GDM.
Findings
A total of 371 questionnaires were collected. The exercise compliance rate was only 27.42%. 41% of pregnant women with GDM had sedentary time more than 6 h per day. 50.9% of participants had sedentary lifestyle. The most common barriers and enablers to physical activity were pregnancy symptoms or discomfort (32.1%) and easier glycemic control (88.9%), respectively. Advanced age (≥ 35 years old), low capita monthly family income, and the number of sedentary-lifestyle days (OR = 1.227, 95%CI 1.090–1.382, P = 0.001) were the independent risk factors for failing to meet exercise standard among pregnant women.
Discussion/Conclusion
Health care providers should provide interventions based on reducing sedentary behavior and increasing moderate physical activity to minimize the potential health problems in pregnant women with GDM.
虽然体育活动被推荐作为治疗和管理妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)的一项措施,但对GDM孕妇久坐行为的状况、运动的障碍和促进因素以及运动指导的需求知之甚少。目的研究妊娠期糖尿病孕妇的身体活动状况、久坐行为和运动指导需求,探讨其障碍、促进因素和决定因素。方法采用横断面研究。使用自行设计的问卷收集运动、久坐行为和运动障碍/促进因素的数据。采用孕期体力活动问卷对孕妇进行体力活动评估。采用逐步多因素logistic回归分析GDM孕妇运动的决定因素。调查结果共收集问卷371份。运动依从率仅为27.42%。41%患有GDM的孕妇每天久坐时间超过6小时。50.9%的参与者有久坐不动的生活方式。最常见的身体活动障碍和促进因素分别是怀孕症状或不适(32.1%)和更容易控制血糖(88.9%)。高龄(≥35岁)、家庭人均月收入低、久坐不动的生活方式天数(OR = 1.227, 95%CI 1.090 ~ 1.382, P = 0.001)是孕妇运动不符合标准的独立危险因素。讨论/结论卫生保健提供者应提供基于减少久坐行为和增加适度体育活动的干预措施,以尽量减少妊娠糖尿病孕妇的潜在健康问题。

This study describes the health education experiences of older adults with chronic disease (CD).
Design
A qualitative study employing a phenomenological approach.
Setting
Municipalities of Central Region of Cundinamarca Colombia.
Participants
The study was conducted through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. A total of 40 older adults participated in the study.
Methods
Data were collected through interviews, which were then coded and analyzed using ATLAS.ti software.
Results
The analysis revealed three main themes: Older adults became aware of their CD through initial signs and symptoms and reflections on previous lifestyle habits. After diagnosis, they managed CD through new activities and routines including pharmacologic treatment, health check-ups, and regular clinical tests. Treatment adherence was influenced by personal experiences and the adoption of new lifestyle habits.
Conclusions
The changes experienced by older adults implied a learning process influenced by their individual history, experiences, and external factors like family support. The findings provide valuable insights for designing health education strategies aimed at improving the empowerment of older adults in their healthcare process.

Primary Care is undergoing a profound transformation driven by demographic, social, and technological changes. In this context, the integration of physical activity into clinical practice and the development of digital health strategies emerge as key approaches to addressing physical inactivity and sedentary behavior, particularly in situations of chronic conditions, aging, and frailty. This article analyzes how technologies such as mobile applications, wearable devices, and digital platforms can enable more personalized physical activity prescription, remote monitoring, and community connection. It reviews the opportunities offered by these tools, based on the WHO's 5 A brief intervention model, as well as barriers such as the digital divide and care overload. The article emphasizes the need to align digital health initiatives with ethical principles, community engagement, and person-centered care, strengthening rather than replacing the human connection.

To estimate the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori (HP) with triple therapy (amoxicillin 1 g/12 h, clarithromycin 500 mg/12 h, and omeprazole 20 mg/12 h/for 14 days) and to evaluate its clinical effectiveness in improving symptoms associated with HP infection. This is an observational, prospective, exposed cohort study.
Desing
Prospective observational cohort study of exposed groups.
Setting
Urban health area with follow-up in primary care.
Participants
A total of 125 patients (68% women, 32% men) with untreated HP infection or who had not received eradication treatment in the last year were included, with a mean age of 52.2 years (SD ± 17.5).
Interventions
Three visits were conducted. During visit 1, informed consent was obtained, the main and secondary symptoms were recorded, and treatment was prescribed. In visit 2, after completing the treatment, adverse effects, adherence (Morisky-Green test), and clinical evolution were recorded. In visit 3, the eradication test result was verified.
Main measurements
Demographic, symptomatology, eradication, adherence, and adverse effects variables were collected.
Results
The eradication rate was 92% (95% CI: 85.90-95.60%). Of these, 93.90% (95% CI: 88-97%) showed improvement or resolution of their symptoms. Therapeutic adherence was 80.80% (95% CI: 73.02-86.74%). Adverse effects appeared in 41.60% of patients, of which 35.20% were digestive-related.
Conclusions
The study supports triple therapy as a first-line option for HP infection in primary care in our setting. The majority of patients experienced a progressive improvement in their symptoms.

Objective
To analyze the frequency of reattendances in PC and their association with adverse events, considering sex-based differences.
Design
A retrospective observational study.
Site
Five primary care centres in the Valencia Region (Spain).
Participants
Patients over 50 years old attended in between 2019 and 2024.
Main measurements
A review of 541 electronic health records of patients was conducted to identify reattendances occurring within 20 days after an index visit Associated AEs were assessed as well.
Results
A total of 2077 reattendances were recorded (0.77 per patient-year), with significantly higher frequency among men (1601 in men vs. 476 in women; P < 0.001). Eighty-five AEs were identified (annual incidence: 3.1; 95% CI: 2.5–3.8), with women experiencing an 18% higher incidence compared to men (OR = 1.18; 95% CI: 1.13–1.24; P < 0.001). No significant sex-based differences were observed in the severity of harm (P = 0.713). Reattendances were associated with AEs (OR = 7.04; P < 0.001), as was cognitive impairment, measured using the Pfeiffer Index (OR = 1.21; P = 0.033). In contrast, low and medium PC utilization were associated with a lower probability of AEs (OR = 0.22 and 0.45; P = 0.003 and 0.043, respectively).
Conclusions
Reattendances in PC are frequent and significantly associated with the occurrence of preventable AEs. Sex-based differences and individual patient factors, such as cognitive status and care utilization patterns, should be considered in patient safety strategies.
