Vegānisks dzīvesveids: apzinātā patērniecība kā identitātes konstruētājs
2015
Šajā darbā es diskutēju par attiecībām starp apzinātām patērniecības praksēm un kolektīvajām un individuālajām to cilvēku, kas apgalvo, ka dzīvo vegānisku dzīvesveidu, identitātēm. Izmantojot kvalitatīvas pētniecības metodes es pētu lauku un intervēju vegānus Rīgā, lai izzinātu apslēptās patērniecības procesa sociālās nozīmes, un kā tās ietekmē vegāna pašidentitātes un vegānu kolektīvās identitātes veidošanos un atainošanu. Es parādu to, ka vegānisms var tikt skatīts kā dzīvesveids, kas ir balstīts uz to, ko cilvēki patērē un ko apzināti nepatērē. Es parādu to, ka patērniecības izvēles tiek izdarītas atkarībā no patērniecībā ietvertā morālā diskursa, un ka vegānu sabiedrība viņu pašu prātos…
Mediterranean diet impact on cardiovascular diseases: a narrative review
2017
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more than 17 million deaths per year worldwide. It has been estimated that the influence of lifestyle on CVD mortality amounts to 13.7% for smoking, 13.2% for poor diet, and 12% for inactive lifestyle. These results deeply impact both the healthy status of individuals and their skills in working. The impact of CVD on productivity loss accounts for the 24% in total costs for CVD management. Mediterranean diet (MedD) can positively impact on natural history of CVD. It is characterized by a relatively high consumption of inexpensive and genuine food such as cereals, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, fresh fruits, and olive oil as the principal source of…
Healthy Aging and Dietary Patterns
2021
A number of factors contribute to the complex process of aging, which finally define whether someone will or not develop age-associated chronic diseases in late life. These determinants comprise genetic susceptibility as well as various behavioral, environmental, and dietary factors, all of which have been shown to influence specific pathways regulating the aging process and the extension of life, which makes longevity a multidimensional phenomenon. Although a “miraculous elixir” or a “nutrition pill” are not plausible, researchers agree on the notion that nutritional factors have major impact on the risk of age-associated chronic non-communicable diseases and mortality. In recent years nut…
Impact of Mediterranean Diet on Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Longevity
2021
The average life expectancy of the world population has increased remarkably in the past 150 years and it is still increasing. A long life is a dream of humans since the beginning of time but also a dream is to live it in good physical and mental condition. Nutrition research has focused on recent decades more on food combination patterns than on individual foods/nutrients due to the possible synergistic/antagonistic effects of the components in a dietary model. Various dietary patterns have been associated with health benefits, but the largest body of evidence in the literature is attributable to the traditional dietary habits and lifestyle followed by populations from the Mediterranean re…
What Are We Measuring When We Evaluate Digital Interventions for Improving Lifestyle? A Scoping Meta-Review
2022
Background: Lifestyle Medicine (LM) aims to address six main behavioral domains: diet/nutrition, substance use (SU), physical activity (PA), social relationships, stress management, and sleep. Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) have been used to improve these domains. However, there is no consensus on how to measure lifestyle and its intermediate outcomes aside from measuring each behavior separately. We aimed to describe (1) the most frequent lifestyle domains addressed by DHIs, (2) the most frequent outcomes used to measure lifestyle changes, and (3) the most frequent DHI delivery methods.Methods: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA-…
A study on sports activities performed by Palermo football club fans
2011
Introduction: It is known that sport is able to evoke high levels of emotional attachment and identification (Sutton et al., 1997). This phenomenon can be a factor stimulating the practice of football mainly at a young age. The aim of this study was to explore whether Palermo fans do sports activities and especially football. Methods: Several websites and telecasts mainly followed by Palermo fans were used to select the participants for this study and invite them to fill in a questionnaire. The data collected were elaborated by statistical analysis. Results: 899 fans filled in the questionnaire (743 men and 156 women). The average age of women was 32.74 ± 11.13 years; while that of men was …
An Exploratory Analysis of Factors Associated with Health-Related Physical Fitness in Adolescents. The ASSO Project
2018
Monitoring physical fitness (fitness) and identifying, since the beginning, possible determinants in youth could be useful to preserve health and avoid morbidities in adulthood. The main objective of this study is to provide details on the fitness levels of a sample of adolescents living in the Southern area of Italy and describe its associations with biological/genetic, socio-cultural/environmental, and lifestyle (physical activity/sedentariness, alcohol/smoking, meal patterns/habits) factors. The study was conducted within the Adolescence Surveillance System for Obesity Prevention (ASSO) project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Health and examining adolescents&rsquo
Calidad de vida de los discapacitados intelectuales valorada por ellos mismos y los profesionales: variables implicadas
2016
Mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas con Discapacidad Intelectual es un objetivo prioritario desde la implantación de la Ley de Promoción de la Autonomía Personal y Atención a las personas en situación de dependencia. Los profesionales y los propios usuarios no siempre coinciden en la valoración que tienen acerca de las diferentes dimensiones de que consta el constructo. Es posible que las discrepancias se deban a variables no especialmente atendidas por la investigación como el modo en que viven (vivienda tutelada, residencia o unidad familiar), o el grado de discapacidad que muestran. El objetivo de este estudio ha consistido en analizar las posibles discrepancias existentes entre l…

Osobowościowe uwarunkowania choroby wieńcowej u pacjentów po zawale mięśnia sercowego
2020
Wstęp: Choroby kardiologiczne, a przede wszystkim zawał mięśnia sercowego jest główną przyczyną chorobowości, inwalidztwa i zgonów w Polsce. W etiopatogenezie zawału wyróżnia się modyfikowalne i niemodyfikowalne czynniki ryzyka. Rozwój medycyny psychosomatycznej spowodował, że fundamentalną rolę w etiopatogenezie zawału przypisuję się elementom behawioralnym oraz predyspozycjom osobowościowym. Cel pracy: Celem pracy było poznanie osobowościowych uwarunkowań choroby wieńcowej u pacjentów po za-wale mięśnia sercowego. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego wśród 110 pacjentów oddziału kardiologicznego, którzy przebyli zawał mięśnia sercowego. Zastosowano nast…
