Papel del sueño en el desarrollo de obesidad infantil
2021
El sobrepeso y la obesidad infantil suponen uno de los mayores problemas de salud a nivel mundial, incrementándose su incidencia en las últimas décadas. Esto acarrea la aparición de diversos problemas en el desarrollo, así como de varias patologías comórbidas durante la edad adulta, empeorando la calidad de vida y comportando un gran gasto económico para los sistemas nacionales de salud. La obesidad generalmente se ha visto asociada a la adopción de hábitos dietéticos no saludables y a una reducción de la actividad física diaria, derivada de un aumento del sedentarismo. No obstante, las terapias asociadas a la mejora de este estilo de vida no han resultado tener el éxito esperado. Ahora bie…
Pathophysiology of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
2021
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex disorder characterized by total or partial collapse of the upper airways (UA) during sleep, causing obstructive apneas or hypopneas, respectively. During respiratory events, respiratory efforts occur against the restricted or collapsed upper airway, hypoxia and hypercapnia develop, and sympathetic activation increases. The main symptoms of OSA are intermittent snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. OSA is often associated with obesity, hypertension, and increased cardiovascular risk. Pathophysiological aspects include: anatomical and physiological determinants of UA closure, and immediate and long-term consequences of chronic intermittent hypoxi…
Physical education teacher educators’ views regarding the purpose(s) of school physical education
2015
The aim of this paper was to gain an understanding of the views of a group of physical education teacher educators on the purpose(s) of school physical education and whether, how and why these views have changed over time. Semi-structured individual interviews were carried out with thirteen physical education teacher educators; a fourteenth participant responded to interview questions in writing. Participants were based in seven countries: Belgium, Finland, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and the USA. A relative consensus on the overarching purpose of physical education was evident, centred on physical education preparing young people for a lifetime of physical activity. The fram…
Health Promotion in Sport Coaching: Coaches and Young Male Athletes’ Evaluations on the Health Promotion Activity of Coaches
2015
Sport coaches have paradoxical attitudes towards addressing health promotion as a part of their coaching practice: health is recognized as an important factor, but not greatly invested in. Overall, the extent to which youth sport coaches take health promotion into account has been unclear. Therefore, it is the intention of this study to clarify this situation. The results show that coaches evaluate their own activity on health promotion as being relatively active, whereas young male athletes' evaluations reveal a wide gap in how they perceived the coaches' activity. Young male athletes perceived their coaches as being substantially more passive in comparison to coaches' self-evaluations. T…

Análisis de supervivencia de pacientes obesos sometidos a trasplante hepático
2015
La prevalencia de obesidad ha aumentado en países en vías de desarrollo, de igual modo en receptores de trasplantes hepático (TH) ésta también se ha incrementado de manera significativa. La obesidad tiene un impacto negativo, en cirugía general y trasplante de órgano sólido. Hasta la fecha existen pocos estudios en TH que analizan el impacto de la obesidad en los resultados del mismo. Objetivo: determinar si existen diferencias en la supervivencia (SV) actuarial a 5 años de obesos y no obesos sometidos a TH en Hospital Universitario La Fe de Valencia (HULF). Material y Método: el diseño corresponde a casos y controles anidados en una cohorte. La muestra está constituida por sujetos sometido…
Efectos de la cirugía bariátrica en la apnea obstructiva del sueño
2023
La obesidad se relaciona íntimamente con la apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS). Se presenta una tesis doctoral en la que se evaluó mediante un estudio prospectivo longitudinal la prevalencia de AOS en pacientes candidatos a cirugía bariátrica y las características de su vía aérea superior, así como cuáles fueron los efectos de la pérdida de peso tras la cirugía bariátrica en la AOS y los cambios en la anatomía de la vía aérea superior. La prevalencia de AOS en este estudio fue de 74,2%. La edad superior a los 48 años fue un factor predictivo independiente de AOS moderada o grave. Los pacientes con AOS moderada y grave presentaron un mayor peso, cuellos más gruesos, paladares más flácidos, ma…
Cross-national time trends in adolescent body weight perception and the explanatory role of overweight/obesity prevalence
2023
Introduction Body weight perception (BWP) is associated with health behaviors. Current evidence points to an increase over time in both actual and perceived weight status among adolescents, however there is limited evidence on time trends in BWP in cross-national samples of adolescents. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine time trends in BWP between 2002 and 2018 among adolescents from 41 countries and regions, including gender and country differences and to explore the role of changes over time in country-level overweight/obesity prevalence in these trends. Methods Data were used from five cycles (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018) of the repeated cross-sectional Health Behavior in…
