Abstract
La diabetes mellitus se encuentra entre las 10 principales causas de muerte a nivel mundial (en 2017, 4 millones de personas entre 20 y 79 años fallecieron debido a ella). Se calcula que alrededor de 425 millones de personas tienen diabetes actualmente en el mundo a pesar de que muchos de los casos permanecen sin registrar. Solo en Europa alrededor del 38% de los casos de diabetes aún están sin diagnosticar, lo que supone unos 22 millones más de afectados. En España se estima que más de 5 millones de personas padecen esta enfermedad, dándose más de 380.000 nuevos pacientes cada año.
En el caso de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 se estima que 9 de cada 10 casos pueden atribuirse a hábitos de vida que podrían modificarse promoviendo estilos de vida saludables como el deporte o seguir una dieta equilibrada, ya que la obesidad es uno de los mayores factores de riesgo. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se han planteado también otros importantes factores de riesgo, entre ellos el déficit de Vitamina D. No obstante, los umbrales de niveles correctos de esta vitamina son muy controvertidos y el estudio de su impacto, por tanto, es complejo.
Este proyecto consiste en desarrollar un portal web que dará soporte a un equipo médico recopilando datos de contraste en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2. La aplicación les permitirá recopilar datos sobre los niveles de Vitamina D entre otros factores como la exposición diaria a la luz solar, el ejercicio físico diario o hábitos como el tabaquismo, todos ellos vía formularios para posteriormente, compararlos y extraer conclusiones que esperan ayuden a delimitar mejor la enfermedad, promover su prevención y, en general conseguir una mejor comprensión de la misma.
Se busca tras la finalización del proyecto, proporcionar a los médicos una herramienta útil y ajustada que les permita recopilar datos para avanzar en su investigación.
Diabetes mellitus is one of the 10 main causes of death worldwide (in 2017, 4 million people between 20 and 79 years passed away due to it). It is estimated that around 425 million people currently suffer diabetes in the world, despite there are a lot of unregistered cases. Only in Europe, around 38% of diabetes cases even remain undiagnosed, which means 22 million people affected. In Spain, it is estimated more than 5 million people suffer this disease, with more than 380.000 new patients every year. In the case of diabetes mellitus type 2, it is estimated 9 in 10 cases can be attributed to lifestyle that could be changed by promoting healthy lifestyles such as sport or having a balanced diet, since obesity is one the main risk factors. Nevertheless, in recent years other important risk factors have been raised, among them the vitamin D deficit. However, the correct levels threshold of this vitamin are controversial, and the research impact therefore is complex. This project consists of developing a web portal which will provide support to a medical team collecting contrast data in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The application will allow them to gather information on vitamin D levels, among other factors such as daily exposure to sunlight, daily physical exercise, or habits such as smoking, all of them through forms to later compare them, and draw conclusions which are expected to define the disease in a better way, to promote its prevention and, generally, to get a better understanding. After project completion, is sought to provide a useful and calibrated tool to the doctors to let them collect data to make progress in their research.
