The purpose of this work was to investigate the links between oxidative stress, inflammation and coagulation their effect on Mediterranean diet-diabetes relationship.In 2001-2002, a random sample 1514 men (18-87 years old) 1528 women (18-89 selected participate in ATTICA study, where Athens is major metropolis. A validated questionnaire used assess lifestyle dietary factors. Adherence diet recorded using MedDietScore. Among others, stress inflammatory biomarkers were recorded. During...
The use of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk estimation scores in primary prevention has long been established. However, their performance still remains a matter concern. aim this study was to explore the potential using ML methodologies on CVD prediction, especially compared established tool, HellenicSCORE. Data from ATTICA prospective (n = 2020 adults), enrolled during 2001–02 and followed-up 2011–12 were used. Three different machine-learning classifiers (k-NN, random forest, decision...
Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is inversely associated with cardiometabolic health and the ageing process. The aim of present work was to evaluate relation between SMM 10 year cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence, among CVD-free adults 45+ years old.ATTICA a prospective, population-based study that recruited 3042 without pre-existing CVD from Greek general population (Caucasians; age ≥18 years; 1514 men). follow-up (2011-2012) captured fatal/non-fatal incidence in 2020 participants (50%...
Chronic stress frequently manifests with anxiety and/or depressive symptomatology and may have detrimental cardiometabolic effects over time. As such, recognising the potential links between stress-related psychological disorders cardiovascular disease (CVD) is becoming increasingly important in epidemiology research. The primary aim of this study was to explore prospectively associations clinically relevant levels 10-year CVD incidence among apparently healthy Greek adults. A...
Delirium is common in intensive care patients and associated with short- long-term adverse outcomes. We investigated the risk of cognitive impairment post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) without delirium.This a prospective cohort study ICUs two Australian university-affiliated hospitals. Patients were eligible if they older than 18 years, mechanically ventilated for more 24 h did not meet exclusion criteria. was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method Intensive Care Unit. Variables...
Prediabetes has been related to an increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD).The aim the present study was examine effect Mediterranean diet on CVD in subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG, i.e. plasma 100-125 mg/dl).During 2001-2002, 3042 men women (>18y) were enrolled for study. The participants showed no clinical evidence or any other chronic disease, living greater Athens (Greece) area. In 2011 2012, 10-year follow-up examinations performed, including a...
The use of existing public spaces by people living with dementia, such as museums and art galleries, are becoming popular due to their ability facilitate programs which promote social engagement inclusion. However, few studies have investigated physiological outcomes gallery-based programs. Using a quasi-experimental design, the present study aimed investigate levels salivary biomarkers cortisol interleukin-6, quality life (QoL), depressive symptoms, cognition, wellbeing, after attending...
