Plasma Metabolites From Choline Pathway and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in the PREDIMED (Prevention With Mediterranean Diet) Study.
2017
Background-The relationship between plasma concentrations of betaine and choline metabolism and major cardiovascular disease (CVD) end points remains unclear. We have evaluated the association between metabolites from the choline pathway and risk of incident CVD and the potential modifying effect of Mediterranean diet interventions. Methods and Results-We designed a case-cohort study nested within the PREDIMED (Prevention With Mediterranean Diet) trial, including 229 incident CVD cases and 751 randomly selected participants at baseline, followed up for 4.8 years. We used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure, at baseline and at 1 year of follow-up, plasma concentrations …
Modulation by means of candidate genes of intermediate and final phenotypes of cardiovascular diseases in mediterranean and german populations : appr…
2013
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) constituyen la principal causa de mortalidad en todo el mundo. Su etiología es multifactorial y compleja e incluye la interacción de factores de estilo de vida, ambientales y genéticos. Mediante estudios de asociación acerca de la influencia de polimorfismos de un sólo nucleótido (SNP) sobre fenotipos intermedios y finales de ECV, es posible identificar rutas metabólicas implicadas en ECV. De todos los factores de riesgo modificables de ECV, la dieta es de particular relevancia, tanto porque la gente come y bebe a diario como por su potencial para interactuar con factores de riesgo no modificables, tales como factores genéticos. En esta tesis se prese…
Efecto de la prevención de las enfermedades cardiovasculares en Atención Primaria sobre la hospitalización evitable (ACSC)
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVO: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son un problema de salud pública de primer orden y se prevé que continúen siéndolo en el futuro debido principalmente al envejecimiento poblacional; en España, representan la primera causa de muerte y hospitalización. Los tres problemas cardiovasculares más importantes, cardiopatía isquémica, enfermedad cerebrovascular e insuficiencia cardiaca, parten en su conocimiento de los grandes estudios epidemiológicos, siendo The Framingham Heart Study, el que más ha contribuido para el desarrollo de la prevención cardiovascular en las seis últimas décadas, aportando sólida evidencia sobre los factores de riesgo de estas enfermedades. La pro…
Patients' and physicians' preferences for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatments in Spain and Portugal: a discrete choice experiment.
2015
Objective: To assess Spanish and Portuguese patients' and physicians' preferences regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatments and the monthly willingness to pay (WTP) to gain benefits or avoid side effects. Methods: An observational, multicenter, exploratory study focused on routine clinical practice in Spain and Portugal. Physicians were recruited from multiple hospitals and outpatient clinics, while patients were recruited from eleven centers operating in the public health care system in different autonomous communities in Spain and Portugal. Preferences were measured via a discrete choice experiment by rating multiple T2DM medication attributes. Data were analyzed using the cond…
Relationships of working conditions, health problems and vehicle accidents in bus rapid transit (BRT) drivers
2018
Background The aim of this study was to estimate accident risk rates and mental health of bus rapid transit (BRT) drivers based on psychosocial risk factors at work leading to increased stress and health problems. Methods A cross-sectional research design utilized a self-report questionnaire completed by 524 BRT drivers. Results Some working conditions of BRT drivers (lack of social support from supervisors and perceived potential for risk) may partially explain Bogota's BRT drivers' involvement in road accidents. Drivers' mental health problems were associated with higher job strain, less support from co-workers, fewer rewards and greater signal conflict while driving. Conclusions To preve…
Total and Subtypes of Dietary Fat Intake and its Association with Components of the Metabolic Syndrome in a Mediterranean Population at High Cardiova…
2019
Background: The effect of dietary fat intake on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and in turn on cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear in individuals at high CVD risk. Objective: To assess the association between fat intake and MetS components in an adult Mediterranean population at high CVD risk. Design: Baseline assessment of nutritional adequacy in participants (n = 6560, men and women, 55&ndash

Fisioterapia cardiocirculatoria
2010
El Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) propugna un cambio metodológico en los estudios universitarios, al que sin duda contribuye el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). En este contexto la Universitat de València promueve la creación de grupos de innovación educativa al efecto de facilitar el tránsito al nuevo paradigma . El material que a continuación se presenta, “Fisioterapia cardiocirculatoria”, se inscribe en esta línea y su elaboración se debe a la ayuda concedida por el Vicerectorat de Convergència Europea i Qualitat (Universitat de València) en la convocatoria de ayudas a proyectos para la utilización y la exploración de las nuevas tecnologías …
Spatial analysis of the relationship between mortality from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and drinking water hardness
2004
Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Reproduced with permission from Environmental Health Perspectives. Previously published scientific papers have reported a negative correlation between drinking water hardness and cardiovascular mortality. Some ecologic and case-control studies suggest the protective effect of calcium and magnesium concentration in drinking water. In this article we present an analysis of this protective relationship in 538 municipalities of Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) from 1991-1998. We used the Spanish version of the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF) developed under the European Environment and Health Information System (EUROHEIS) research project. The strateg…
A high dietary glycemic index increases total mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk
2014
© 2014 Castro-Quezada et al. Objective: Different types of carbohydrates have diverse glycemic response, thus glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) are used to assess this variation. The impact of dietary GI and GL in all-cause mortality is unknown. The objective of this study was to estimate the association between dietary GI and GL and risk of all-cause mortality in the PREDIMED study. Material and Methods: The PREDIMED study is a randomized nutritional intervention trial for primary cardiovascular prevention based on community-dwelling men and women at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Dietary information was collected at baseline and yearly using a validated 137-item food freque…
