Self-efficacy and perceived control in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
2010
Desde la Teoría de Acción Planeada (TAP), el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar si la autoeficacia y la percepción de control presentan diferencias predictivas sobre la intención y las conductas preventivas de la enfermedad cardiovascular. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 359 sujetos. Los datos han sido analizados empleando el paquete estadístico EQS 6.1. Los resultados muestran que la autoeficacia influye positiva y significativamente sobre la intención y sobre la conducta, mientras que la percepción de control influye negativa y significativamente sobre la intención de conducta, pero no sobre la conducta preventiva. Este trabajo ha mostrado la conveniencia de distinguir entre autoeficaci…
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.
Polyphenol intake and mortality risk: a re-analysis of the PREDIMED trial
2014
[Background] Polyphenols may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other chronic diseases due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as their beneficial effects on blood pressure, lipids and insulin resistance. However, no previous epidemiological studies have evaluated the relationship between the intake of total polyphenols intake and polyphenol subclasses with overall mortality. Our aim was to evaluate whether polyphenol intake is associated with all-cause mortality in subjects at high cardiovascular risk.
