2022
Abstract Background Body mass index (BMI) may not be an optimal predictor of frailty as its constituents, lean and fat mass, may have opposite associations with frailty. Methods A linear mixed model analysis was performed in the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study (n = 2 000) spanning from 57 to 84 years. A 39-item frailty index (FI) was calculated on three occasions over 17 years. Body composition in late midlife included BMI, percent body fat (%BF), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), lean mass index (LMI), and fat mass index (FMI). Results Mean FI levels increased by 0.28%/year among men and by 0.34%/year among women. Among women, per each kg/m2 higher BMI and each unit higher %BF the increases in FI leve…

2020
En este trabajo se analiza la Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 19 de febrero de 2019, que ha venido a considerar que la falta de relación familiar manifiesta entre padres e hijos mayores de edad puede provocar la extinción de la pensión de alimentos, en caso de que dicha ausencia de relación familiar sea imputable, de modo principal y relevante, a los hijos. Se trata de una causa que ha sido alegada por los padres desde hace años como motivo para conseguir privar al hijo mayor de edad de la pensión alimenticia en instancias inferiores, sin embargo, nunca se había hecho valer ante el TS, por lo que interesaba conocer la opinión de nuestro Alto Tribunal al respecto. El propio TS reconoce en …
