2019

Introducción: En España, un tercio de los menores y dos tercios de los adultos padecen exceso de peso, una condición que genera un sobre coste médico directo de 2000 millones de euros. El entorno alimentario obesogénico causa obesidad al promover el consumo de bebidas azucaradas y de alimentos ultraprocesados. Por ello, proponemos cinco políticas prioritarias con el PODER de revertir la epidemia de obesidad y de enfermedades no transmisibles asociadas a ella, mediante la creación de entornos alimentarios saludables.El PODER de las políticas alimentarias: P (Publicidad): regulación de la publicidad de alimentos y bebidas no saludables dirigida a menores por todos los medios y prohibición de …

Biomonitoring of mercury in hair of breastfeeding mothers living in the Valencian Region (Spain). Levels and predictors of exposure

2017

This study focused on the evaluation of the levels of total mercury in hair among 120 breastfeeding mothers aged 20 to 45-. The concentrations of Hg ranged from 0.07 to 6.87 mu g/g with a geometric mean (GM) of 1.22 mu g/g. This GM is six times higher than the average internal exposure of mothers from other 17 European countries (0.225 mu g/g). Near 70% of mothers presented levels of Hg above the USA EPA internal exposure guideline of 1 mu g/g, and 27% exceeded the EFSA health-based guidance value of 1.9 mu g/g. The multivariate regression analysis revealed that age, smoking and fish consumption (sword fish, small fat fish, small lean fish) were the major predictors of mercury in hair. (C) …
