La salud mental de estudiantes universitarios es un motivo de investigación a nivel internacional. El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la prevalencia de ansiedad, depresión y estado de salud autopercibida de los estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Miguel Hernández y analizar su asociación con diferentes variables sociodemográficas y del estilo de vida. Para ello, se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal de estudiantes de medicina de 1º a 6º curso de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche durante el curso 2019-20. Se utilizaron la Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) del European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión de Goldberg (EADG), el estudio Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea (PREDIMED), el Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) y el Test de Fagerström. Todos los cuestionarios están validados en España. Para el análisis se ajustaron modelos logísticos multivariantes. Fueron encuestados 474 estudiantes. La tasa de respuesta global fue del 55.26%. Un 68.1% de la muestra eran mujeres. Se estimó una prevalencia de probable ansiedad del 54.9%, probable depresión del 60.9% y probable ansiedad o depresión del 73.3%. La salud autopercibida regular-mala-muy mala fue del 8.9%. Se detectó una asociación estadísticamente significativa con el sexo, la edad, el curso académico, el municipio de residencia, el tipo de alimentación, la actividad física y el consumo de tóxicos. Como conclusión, los estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Miguel Hernández presentaron una prevalencia alta de probable ansiedad y depresión. Se observaron diferencias en función del sexo, curso académico, tipo de alimentación y consumo de tóxicos. The mental health of university students is a reason for international research. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of anxiety, depression and self-perceived health status of medical students from the Miguel Hernandez University and analyze their association with different sociodemographic and lifestyle variables. We did a cross-sectional descriptive study of medical students from 1st to 6th year of the Miguel Hernandez University during the 2019-20 academic year. They were used the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale (GADS), the Mediterranean Diet Prevention study (PREDIMED), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) and the Fagerström Test were used. All the questionnaires are validated in Spain. For the analysis, multivariate logistic models were adjusted. They were surveyed 474 students. The overall response rate was 55.26%. 68.1% of the sample were women. A prevalence of probable anxiety of 54.9%; probable depression of 60.9% and probable anxiety or depression of 73.3% was estimated. Regular-bad-very bad self-perceived health was only 8.9%. A statistically significant association was detected between the aforementioned variables and sex, age, academic year, municipality of residence, type of diet, physical activity and consumption of toxics. The medical students of the Miguel Hernandez University presented a high prevalence of probable anxiety and depression. Differences were observed based on sex, academic year, type of diet and consumption of toxic drugs.

Introduction. Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is rare and confers good prognosis. Long-term health related quality of life (HRQoL) and pregnancy outcomes are not well known in subjects treated during adolescence and young adulthood.Methods. Cross-sectional analysis of HRQoL and global self-esteem, using SF-36 and ISP-25 surveys, and of pregnancy outcomes in female survivors of DTC treated by total thyroidectomy and I131before age of 25 years.Results. Forty-five of 61 patients (74%) responded to the survey. Cumulative I131activity was ≤3.85 GBq in 18 subjects and >3.85 GBq in 27 subjects. Mean time from diagnosis was 7.6 ± 5.2 years for the group ≤ 3.85 GBq versus 16.9 ± 11.6 years for the group > 3.85 GBq (P<0.05). No significant alteration in long-term HRQoL and global self-esteem was observed. Thirty pregnancies after I131were noted in patients from the group > 3.85 GBq and 10 in patients from the group ≤ 3.85 GBq. Frequency of miscarriages was of 17% (group > 3.85 GBq) and 10% (group ≤ 3.85 GBq) with 9 and 24 live births, respectively. No congenital malformations or first year mortality was noted.Conclusion. Long-term HRQoL, global self-esteem, and pregnancy outcomes are not affected in young female survivors of DTC.
