Leisure-time physical activity, sedentary behaviors, sleep, and cardiometabolic risk factors at baseline in the PREDIMED-PLUS intervention trial: A c…
2017
Limited data exists on the interrelationships between physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors and sleep concerning cardiometabolic risk factors in aged adults at high cardiovascular disease risk. Our aim was to examine independent and joint associations between time spent in leisure-time PA, sedentary behaviors and sleep on the prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Mediterranean individuals at high cardiovascular risk. Cross-sectional analyses were performed on baseline data from 5776 Spanish adults (aged 55-75y in men; 60-75y in women) with overweight/ obesity and MetS, from October 2013 to October 2016, in the PREDIMED-PLUS tri…
Dels meus pares mane jo: estudi qualitatiu sobre violència filio-parental
2014
The increase in filio-parental violence over the last few years is reflected in the number of complaints regarding the data provided by government agencies and media, because of the increase in society’s interest for this issue. This study deals with the influence of different parental educational styles on the origin and continuity of these behaviours, through interviews with professionals from the social field and discussion groups with parents and children.
Abús sexual infantil: conseqüències psicològiques a llarg termini i factors de risc i protectors
2015
Objectiu: Realitzar una revisió de la literatura, per tal de comprovar les conseqüències psicològiques negatives, a llarg termini, de l'abús sexual infantil (ASI). És a dir si les víctimes d'ASI presenten una major prevalença de psicopatologies que la població general i si hi tenen algun paper altres variables, com a risc o com a mediadores. Mètode: Foren consultades quatre bases de dades mitjançant revisió sistemàtica i també es realitzà una revisió manual. Resultats i conclusions: S'inclogueren vint-i-set articles, que posen de manifest que les víctimes d'abusos sexuals infantils presenten un major nombre de psicopatologies en l'edat adulta i que, sobre aquestes, influeixen una sèrie de v…
Low-fat dairy products and blood pressure: follow-up of 2290 older persons at high cardiovascular risk participating in the PREDIMED study
2014
High blood pressure (BP) has been ranked as the most important risk factor worldwide regarding attributable deaths. Dietary habits are major determinants of BP. Among them, frequent intake of low-fat dairy products may protect against hypertension. Our aim was to assess the relationship between low-fat dairy product intake and BP levels and their changes after 12-month follow-up in a cohort of asymptomatic older persons at high cardiovascular risk recruited into a large-scale trial assessing the effects of Mediterranean diets on cardiovascular outcomes. Data from 2290 participants, including 1845 with hypertension, were available for analyses. Dairy products were not a specific part of the …
Role of HDL function and LDL atherogenicity on cardiovascular risk: a comprehensive examination
2019
[Background] High-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) atherogenic traits can describe the role of both particles on cardiovascular diseases more accurately than HDL- or LDL-cholesterol levels. However, it is unclear how these lipoprotein properties are particularly affected by different cardiovascular risk factors.
Association between dietary fibre intake and fruit, vegetable or whole-grain consumption and the risk of CVD: results from the PREvención con DIeta M…
2016
Prospective studies assessing the association between fibre intake or fibre-rich food consumption and the risk of CVD have often been limited by baseline assessment of diet. Thus far, no study has used yearly repeated measurements of dietary changes during follow-up. Moreover, previous studies included healthy and selected participants who did not represent subjects at high cardiovascular risk. We used yearly repeated measurements of diet to investigate the association between fibre intake and CVD in a Mediterranean cohort of elderly adults at high cardiovascular risk. We followed-up 7216 men (55-80 years) and women (60-80 years) initially free of CVD for up to 7 years in the PREvención con…
Prevenció de la malaltia d'Alzheimer en etapes primerenques i mitjanes de la vida
2015
La malaltia d'Alzheimer és la causa més freqüent de demència a l'edat adulta. A més, la seua incidència s'incrementa fortament amb l'edat i, és per això, que la seua prevalença està augmentant en tot el món degut a l'augment a l'expectativa de vida. Clínicament es caracteritza per un dèficit cognitiu progressiu i irreversible i alteracions de la conducta que afecten a la memòria i altres dominis cognitius, a la capacitat d'aprenentatge, activitats de la vida diària i, en últim terme, a la qualitat de vida. Donat que el tractament farmacèutic disponible actualment solament pot millorar moderadament els símptomes, la modificació de factors de risc a etapes primerenques i mitjanes de la vida é…
El consum recreatiu d'esteroides anabolitzants entre els joves valencians
2012
The present study tries to measure the phenomenon of recreational consumption of anabolic steroids amongst youngsters from the city of Valencia by means of the application of qualitative methodology conducted through interviews. The sample was composed by nineteen young men aged between 21 and 34 years, that were selected from fitness centers using the snowball sampling technique. Individuals under use and abuse of anabolic steroids present patterns of consumption similar to other substances of abuse: low risk perception, repeated use and dose increase, as well as the lack of information among them. Therefore, after transcending the sports field, the consumption of anabolic steroids should …
Gene-environment interactions of CETP gene variation in a high cardiovascular risk Mediterranean population
2010
Genome-wide association studies show that cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are more strongly associated with HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations than any other loci across the genome. However, gene-environment interactions for clinical applications are still largely unknown. We studied gene-environment interactions between CETP SNPs and dietary fat intake, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, and diabetes on HDL-C in 4,210 high cardiovascular risk subjects from a Mediterranean population. We focused on the −4,502C>T and the TaqIB SNPs in partial linkage disequilibrium (D'= 0.88; P < 0.001). They were i…
Endothelial Progenitor Cells Predict Cardiovascular Events after Atherothrombotic Stroke and Acute Myocardial Infarction. A PROCELL Substudy.
2014
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine prognostic factors for the risk of new vascular events during the first 6 months after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or atherothrombotic stroke (AS). We were interested in the prognostic role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and circulating endothelial cells (CEC). METHODS: Between February 2009 and July 2012, 100 AMI and 50 AS patients were consecutively studied in three Spanish centres. Patients with previously documented coronary artery disease or ischemic strokes were excluded. Samples were collected within 24h of onset of symptoms. EPC and CEC were studied using flow cytometry and categorized by quartiles. Patients were foll…
