Valoración de la efectividad de la educación alimentaria en niños preescolares, padres y educadores
2016
Introducción: La etapa infantil es el momento en el que se desarrollan los factores de riesgo que pueden desencadenar en edades adultas enfermedades relacionadas con la alimentación. Éste es el momento adecuado para instaurar las bases de una alimentación saludable. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la adherencia a la Dieta Mediterránea de niños, los conocimientos sobre hábitos saludables de niños, padres y profesores antes y después de una intervención de educación alimentaria, así como evaluar su eficacia.Material y Métodos: Estudio transversal en el que participaron 94 estudiantes de edades comprendidas entre 3 y 6 años, 12 padres y 8 profesores. Se calculó el grado de conocim…
Relationship between diet, microbiota, and healthy aging
2020
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/8/8/287 Este artículo pertenece al número especial "Oxidative stress and inflammation: from mechanisms to therapeutic approaches". En este artículo también participan: Marta Inglés, Gloria Olaso, Juan Gambini y Cristina Mas-Bargues. Due to medical advances and lifestyle changes, population life expectancy has increased. For this reason, it is important to achieve healthy aging by reducing the risk factors causing damage and pathologies associated with age. Through nutrition, one of the pillars of health, we are able to modify these factors through modulation of the intestinal microbiota. The Mediterran…
Hábitos saludables en universitarios de ciencias de la salud y de otras ramas de conocimiento: un estudio comparativo
2019
Introducción: Durante la vida universitaria, los estudiantes deberían consolidar sus hábitos saludables, que se verán reflejados posteriormente en su vida adulta. Esto es de especial importancia en el caso de los estudiantes que lleguen a ser profesionales del ámbito de la salud. Sin embargo, gran parte de la literatura concluye que los estudiantes reportan malos hábitos durante el periodo universitario. Objetivos: El presente estudio pretende determinar si estudiantes de ciencias de la salud (ECS) y estudiantes de otras ciencias (EOC) presentan hábitos saludables relacionados con la práctica de actividad física (AF) y adherencia a la Dieta Mediterránea (DM). Asimismo, saber si los ECS tien…
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…
Adherence to the Mediterranean Lifestyle and Desired Body Weight Loss in a Mediterranean Adult Population with Overweight: A PREDIMED-Plus Study
2020
Background. Body weight dissatisfaction is a hindrance to following a healthy lifestyle and it has been associated with weight concerns. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the adherence to the Mediterranean lifestyle (diet and exercise) and the desired body weight loss in an adult Mediterranean population with overweight. Methods. Cross-sectional analysis in 6355 participants (3268 men; 3087 women) with metabolic syndrome and BMI (Body mass index) between 27.0 and 40.0 kg/m2 (55–75 years old) from the PREDIMED-Plus trial. Desired weight loss was the percentage of weight that participants wished to lose. It was categorized into four cut-offs of this perce…
White blood cell counts as risk markers of developing metabolic syndrome and its components in the Predimed study.
2013
Journal Article; Multicenter Study; Randomized Controlled Trial; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; TRIAL REGISTRATION Controlled-Trials.comISRCTN35739639. BACKGROUND The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that includes hyperglucemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia and central obesity, conferring an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The white blood cell (WBC) count has been proposed as a marker for predicting cardiovascular risk. However, few prospective studies have evaluated the relationship between WBC subtypes and risk of MetS. METHODS Participants were recruited from seven PREDIMED study centers. Both a baseline cross-sectional (n = 4,377) and a prospe…
Exercise intervention in childhood obesity : a randomized controlled trial comparing hospital-versus home-based groups
2012
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a hospital clinic group- versus home-based combined exercise-diet program for the treatment of childhood obesity.One hundred ten overweight/obese Spanish children and adolescents (6-16 years) in 2 intervention groups (hospital clinic group-based [n = 45] and home-based [n = 41]) and a sex-age-matched control group (n = 24) were randomly assigned to participate in a 6-month combined exercise (aerobic and resistance training) and Mediterranean diet program. Anthropometric values (including body weight, height, body mass index, BMI-Z score, and waist circumference) were measured pre- and postintervention for all the participants. Percentage bo…

Estudio de los factores del estilo de vida, genéticos y epigenéticos, que influyen en la obesidad y enfermedades relacionadas en población mediterrán…
2017
La obesidad ha sido catalogada como la epidemia del siglo XXI, cuya prevalencia a nivel mundial ha ido aumentado en las últimas décadas. La obesidad se define como una acumulación anormal o excesiva de grasa que puede ser perjudicial para la salud. Además de ser considerada una enfermedad, es un factor de riesgo para otras patologías. El origen de la obesidad es multifactorial, y se produce como resultado de la combinación de los efectos genéticos, ambientales y sus interacciones. Los factores ambientales son factores modificables que pueden considerarse de estilo de vida, y los factores genéticos son considerados no modificables teniendo un papel importante, entre el 40-80% en la susceptib…
