Positive affectivity and health
2011
RESUMEN Clásicamente se ha relacionado la afectividad positiva con la salud, y se intuye que hay una conexión directa entre ambas. De hecho, se cree que el desarrollo de sentimientos y emociones positivas ejerce un papel preventivo respecto a la enfermedad; o lo que es lo mismo, actúa como factor protector de la salud. En este texto se pretende explorar la relación entre ambos conceptos a través de diversos postulados teóricos de la Psicología de las emociones. Como resultados principales destaca la confirmación de la hipótesis que apunta a una íntima relación entre estos dos aspectos. Muchos autores consideran que en la actitud o forma de reaccionar ante los estímulos que nos rodean, está …
Florence Nightingale : higienista y estadística de referencia para Pedro Felipe Monlau
2022
Pedro Felipe Monlau fue un destacado higienista español y defensor de la Teoría Miasmática de las enfermedades. La España del siglo XIX tenía escasa infraestructura sanitaria, por lo que sus publicaciones se convirtieron en una poderosa fuente de transmisión de las ideas científicas dominantes del higienismo europeo. Levy, Londe, Villermé, Chadwick, Farr y Smith fueron personajes que influenciaron en el pensamiento del higienista español. El objetivo del presente trabajo es evidenciar si la doctrina higienista de Florence Nightingale influyó en España a través de la obra de Monlau. Se realizó una revisión de fuentes documentales primarias y se analizaron los resultados desde la perspectiva …
Ciencia de la salud y ciencia de las costumbres: higienismo y educación en el siglo XVIII
2000
En el siglo XVIII la preocupación por el mantenimiento de la salud a través de hátibos de vida correctos se difundió ampliamente en tratados pedagógicos, obras médicas de divulgación, literatura de creación, en particular novelas, y prensa periódica. Educación e higiene constituyeron parte inseparable de los proyectos del reformismo ilustrado, en los que reforma de la sociedad y reforma del individuo se conectaban estrechamente. En este artículo se analizan los principios compartidos por médicos y educadores acerca de la íntima relación entre mente y cuerpo, los vínculos entre salud moral y entre bienestar individual y utilidad colectiva, y se analizan el significado social y moral de las n…

This article examines ideas of morality and health, and connections between moral transgression and disease in both Scottish missionary and Central African thought in the context of the Livingstonia Mission of the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland in Malawi during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.2 By concentrating on debates, conflicts and co-operation between missionaries and Africans over the key issues of beer drinking and sexual morality, this article explores the emergence of a new ‘moral hygiene’ among African Christian communities in Northern Malawi.

Mediterranean diet and quality of life: Baseline cross-sectional analysis of the PREDIMED-PLUS trial
2018
We assessed if a 17-item score capturing adherence to a traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) was associated with better health-related quality of life among older Spanish men and women with overweight or obesity harboring the metabolic syndrome. We analyzed baseline data from 6430 men and women (age 55-70 years) participating in the PREDIMED-Plus study. PREDIMED-Plus is a multi-centre randomized trial testing an energy-restricted MedDiet combined with promotion of physical activity and behavioral therapy for primary cardiovascular prevention compared to a MedDiet alone. Participants answered a 36-item questionnaire about health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and a 17-item questionnaire…

Prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances and cardiometabolic risk in children from the spanish INMA birth cohort study
2017
BACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may affect body mass index (BMI) and other components of cardiometabolic (CM) risk during childhood, hut evidence is scarce and inconsistent. OBJECTIVES: We estimated associations between prenatal PFAS exposures and outcomes relevant to cardiometabolic risk, including a composite CM risk score. METHODS: We measured perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) in maternal plasma (first trimester). We assessed weight gain from birth until 6 mo. At 4 and 7 y, we calculated the age- and sex-specific z-scores for BMI, waist circumference (WC), and blood pres…
