Abstract Purpose We aimed to examine the prospective association between manganese, iron, copper, zinc, iodine, selenium, selenoprotein P, free and their interplay, with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD) colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Serum trace element (TE) concentrations were measured in a case-cohort study embedded within EPIC-Potsdam cohort, consisting of random sub-cohort ( n = 2500) cases T2D 705), CVD 414), CRC 219). TE patterns investigated using...
A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) desempenha um papel central na estruturação de sistemas saúde justos e eficazes, sendo considerada a principal porta entrada para o cuidado integral das populações. No Brasil, Estratégia da Família (ESF) configura-se como política pública voltada APS, estruturada promover ações prevenção, promoção, diagnóstico precoce contínuo. entanto, efetividade dessa estratégia depende diretamente formação capacitação dos profissionais que atuam nesse nível atenção, visto...

Exposure to maternal smoking early in life may affect blood pressure (BP) control mechanisms. We examined the association between (before conception, during pregnancy, and 4 years after delivery) BP preschool children. evaluated 4295 of Generation XXI children, recruited at birth 2005–2006 reevaluated age 4. At birth, information was collected by face-to-face interview additionally abstracted from clinical records. 4-year follow-up, interviews were performed children’s measured. Linear...
In recent years, several generic risk assessment (RA) tools have been developed that can be applied to assess the incursion of multiple infectious animal diseases allowing for a rapid response variety newly emerging or re-emerging diseases. Although these were originally different purposes, they used answer similar even identical questions. To explore opportunities cross-validation, seven RA African swine fever (ASF) Netherlands and Finland 2017 situation two hypothetical scenarios in which...
The role of vitamin D on pulmonary function is unclear and mostly studied in patients, smokers elderly people. aim this paper was to evaluate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin [25(OH)D] concentration young adults. Cross-sectional analysis 499 individuals that were evaluated at 21 years age as part population-based cohort Epidemiological Health Investigation Teenagers Porto (EPITeen). Serum 25(OH)D categorized according Institute Medicine. Pulmonary using spirometry. Linear...
To understand the relationship between vitamin D intake and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) levels in a sample of Portuguese adolescents.Cross-sectional evaluation carried out 2003/2004 school year. Vitamin was assessed by an FFQ 25(OH)D measured fasting blood sample.Public private schools Porto, Portugal.Adolescents aged 13 years (n 521) enrolled at (EPITeen cohort).Both mean (sd) level were far below recommended, 4·47 (2·49) µg/d 16·5 (5·7) ng/ml, respectively. A significant difference...
The objective of the G-RAID project was mutual exchange knowledge between consortium members on development generic risk assessment (RA) tools for animal disease incursion. Seven RA were compared considering objectives, inputs, algorithms and outputs. All designed rapid could assess incursion multiple diseases pathways. Specific objectives tools, however, varied from immediate response to new events prioritization horizon scanning, resulting in different approaches evaluate infectious...
The immune system is affected and shaped by several internal external factors. Among the variables, socioeconomic status known to influence since early years of life throughout life.In this study, we assessed relationship between parental education with white blood cells its subtypes in 1213 adolescents from EPITeen cohort, at age 13. Beta coefficients (β) 95% confidence intervals (CI) were fitted using linear regression models quantify association adjusted for sex, body mass index chronic...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact a community-based food education program on nutrition-related knowledge in middle-aged and older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants (n = 36; 65.9 ± 6.0 years old) were recruited primary health care 9-month lifestyle intervention for T2D randomly assigned an exercise (control group; n 16) or plus (experimental 20). Nutrition-related assessed through modified version General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire. increase total...
Abstract To evaluate the impact of adding food education sessions to an exercise programme on cardiovascular risk factors in middle-aged and older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a randomised parallel-group study was performed. Glycated haemoglobin, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, fat (FM) blood pressure were assessed at baseline after 9 months. The recruitment made three primary healthcare centres from Vila Real, Portugal. Thirty-three (65⋅4 ± 5⋅9 years old) engaged 9-month...
