Activité physique : Prévention et traitement des maladies chroniques
2019
Les maladies chroniques sont des affections non transmissibles de longue durée, parfois permanentes, qui évoluent avec le temps. Selon l’OMS, elles sont la première cause de mortalité mondiale et en Europe elles "concourent à près de 86% des décès […] et pèsent de plus en plus lourdement sur les systèmes de santé, le développement économique et le bien-être d’une grande partie de la population, en particulier chez les personnes âgées de 50 ans et plus".En France, la part des personnes âgées de 60 ans et plus devrait passer d’un quart en 2015 à un tiers de la population en 2040. Actuellement, c’est un français sur quatre qui souffre d’une maladie chronique, trois sur quatre après 65 ans. Ave…
Paving the way of systems biology and precision medicine in allergic diseases: the MeDALL success story: Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy; EU…
2016
MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy; EU FP7-CP-IP; Project No: 261357; 2010-2015) has proposed an innovative approach to develop early indicators for the prediction, diagnosis, prevention and targets for therapy. MeDALL has linked epidemiological, clinical and basic research using a stepwise, large-scale and integrative approach: MeDALL data of precisely phenotyped children followed in 14 birth cohorts spread across Europe were combined with systems biology (omics, IgE measurement using microarrays) and environmental data. Multimorbidity in the same child is more common than expected by chance alone, suggesting that these diseases share causal mechanisms irrespective of IgE sen…

Análisis de los determinantes socioeconómicos y de la morbilidad del Departamento de Salud Valencia Clínico-Malvarrosa. Desarrollo de un índice de pr…
2021
Los CRG (Clinical Risk Group) permiten estratificar a la población según la morbilidad, pero hasta ahora, no se ha estudiado el impacto de variables socioeconómicas sobre ésta utilizando este agrupador. Se dispone de información socioeconómica de cada individuo en la base de datos APSIG. Los índices de privación son indicadores compuestos que se utilizan para medir desigualdades en salud entre los territorios. El Departamento de Salud Valencia Clínico-Malvarrosa (DSVCM) ofrece cobertura a Zonas Básicas de Salud (ZBS) de la ciudad de Valencia y pueblos de L´Horta Nord. Esta diversidad geográfica y social aporta singularidad y riqueza al estudio de las desigualdades en salud. OBJETIVO. Analiz…
Magnesium and Health
2019
Magnesium (Mg) is the second most abundant cation after potassium in the intracellular compartment and has a critical role in modulating a large variety of cellular activities and metabolic pathways. Mg is cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions including all reactions that involve ATP utilization and transfer [1,2]. Over the past decades, the clinical relevance of Mg and its impact on health has been documented. In the human body, around 24 grams (1 mole) of Mg are present. Less than 1% of total Mg is in the serum; normal serum Mg concentrations range between 0.75-0.95 mmol/L (1.7-2.5 mg/dL or 1.5-1.9 meq/L). In healthy adults, daily Mg requirement is around 300-400 mg (5 to 6 mg/kg/day) …

Case Management for Patients with Complex Multimorbidity: Development and Validation of a Coordinated Intervention between Primary and Hospital Care
2017
In the past few years, healthcare systems have been facing a growing demand related to the high prevalence of chronic diseases. Case management programs have emerged as an integrated care approach for the management of chronic disease. Nevertheless, there is little scientific evidence on the impact of using a case management program for patients with complex multimorbidity regarding hospital resource utilisation. We evaluated an integrated case management intervention set up by community-based care at outpatient clinics with nurse case managers from a telemedicine unit. The hypothesis to be tested was whether improved continuity of care resulting from the integration of community-based and …
Impact of Age, Multimorbidity and Frailty on the Prescription of Preventive Antiplatelet Therapy in Older Population
2020
Platelet aggregation inhibitors (PAI) have widely proven their efficiency for the prevention of ischemic cardiovascular events. We aimed to describe PAI prescription in an elderly multimorbid population and to determine the factors that influence their prescription, including the impact of age, comorbidities and frailty, evaluated through a comprehensive geriatric assessment. This cross-sectional study included all patients admitted to the acute geriatric department of a university hospital from November 2016 to January 2017. We included 304 consecutive hospitalized patients aged 88.7 ±
Inverse Comorbidity: The Power of Paradox in the Advancement of Science
2013
Abstract: Research on comorbidity and multimorbidity is finally receiving the attention it deserves, particularly considering the magnitude and impact they have on health and the delivery of healthcare [1,2]. Numerous studies have demonstrated that individuals with Down’s syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, diabetes, anorexia nervosa, Alzheimer’s disease, allergy related diseases, multiple sclerosis or Huntington’s disease (among other health problems) are protected against many forms of cancer, including solid tumors, smoking-related tumors and prostate cancer. This apparent anti-cancer effect, which we have termed inverse cancer comorbidity, has been obse…
Multimorbidity and anxiety symptoms among adults aged 50 years and over from six low- and middle-income countries
2021
Currently, there are limited data on the association between multimorbidity (i.e., ≥ 2 chronic conditions) and anxiety, especially among the older population in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the association between multimorbidity and anxiety symptoms in a large sample of adults aged ≥ 50 years from six LMICs (China, India, Ghana, Mexico, Russia, South Africa). Cross-sectional, nationally representative, community-based data from the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) were analysed. A total of 11 chronic physical conditions were assessed. Anxiety symptoms referred to extreme/severe problems with worry or anxiety in the…
