Taste Perception Profiles and Adiposity in Older Adults with Metabolic Syndrome – PREDIMED-Plus
2020
OBJECTIVES: In humans, perception for each taste (sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami) has been independently related to food preferences and intake. Yet, the collective influence of perception of all 5 tastes on diet and cardiometabolic health remains unexplored. Therefore, our objective was to investigate the relations between a collective measure of taste perception – “taste perception profiles” – and adiposity. METHODS: We analyzed baseline data of 367 older adults (55–75 years; 55% female) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) participating in the PREDIMED-Plus Valencia trial. Taste perception was assessed for sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami using sucrose, NaCl, citric acid, phenylthiocar…
General Symptomatology of Pathogenic Drug Usage in Old Patients
1984
Drug administration involves the risk of unwanted side effects in patients of any age. This risk is considerably higher in older patients,5 as is shown by several statistics on this subject.8, 16, 18, 21 Higher risk of unwanted side effects in aged subjects is due to the concomitance of a number of factors1,5,17 i. e
The cholesterol paradox in atrial fibrillation: results from the LIPIDOGRAM 2015 study
2020
Abstract Background High blood lipid levels are known risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular events, but associations between lipid levels and atrial fibrillation (AF) are unclear. Some previous studies have suggested an inverse association between lipid levels and AF referred to as the “cholesterol paradox”. Purpose To examine the prevalence of AF by differing lipid levels in a large population-based study of almost 14,000 adults in Poland. Methods The LIPIDOGRAM 2015 study is a cross-sectional study of adults aged 18 years and older recruited in Poland in 2015/2016 by 438 family physicians. Poisson regression models with robust variance were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR…
