Prediction of cardiovascular disease by the framingham-REGICOR equation in the high-risk PREDIMED cohort: Impact of the mediterranean diet across different risk strata

Background-The usefulness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) predictive equations in different populations is debatable. We assessed the efficacy of the Framingham-REGICOR scale, validated for the Spanish population, to identify future CVD in participants, who were predefined as being at high-risk in the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study-a nutrition-intervention primary prevention trial-and the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean diet on CVD across risk categories. Methods and Results-In a post hoc analysis, we assessed the CVD predictive value of baseline estimated risk in 5966 PREDIMED participants (aged 55-74 years, 57% women; 48% with type 2 diabetes mellitus).

Triglicéridos, colesterol HDL y dislipidemia aterogénica en la guía europea para el control de las dislipidemias 2019

En general, las guías de práctica clínica tanto europeas con americanas han abordado el control de la dislipidemia aterogénica de forma poco convincente e incluso superficial, en gran medida por las limitaciones terapéuticas disponibles. En consecuencia, esta dislipidemia está infradiagnosticada, infratratada e infracontrolada. Dada la reciente aparición de la guía 2019 de la European Atherosclerosis Society y de la European Society of Cardiology sobre el control de las dislipidemias, parece oportuno examinar su posicionamiento con respecto a la dislipidemia aterogénica y/o sus principales componentes, el aumento en las lipoproteínas ricas en triglicéridos y la disminución del colesterol de…

Supplementary Material for: Effect of an Intensive Weight-Loss Lifestyle Intervention on Kidney Function: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Introduction: Large randomized trials testing the effect of a multifactorial weight-loss lifestyle intervention including Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) on renal function are lacking. Here, we evaluated the 1-year efficacy of an intensive weight-loss intervention with an energy-reduced MedDiet (erMedDiet) plus increased physical activity (PA) on renal function. Methods: Randomized controlled “PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea-Plus” (PREDIMED-Plus) trial is conducted in 23 Spanish centers comprising 208 primary care clinics. Overweight/obese (n = 6,719) adults aged 55–75 years with metabolic syndrome were randomly assigned (1:1) to an intensive weight-loss lifestyle intervention with an erMedD…
