Breast cancer is the leading cause of female burden, and its incidence has increased by more than 20% worldwide since 2008. Some observational studies have suggested that Mediterranean diet may reduce risk breast cancer.To evaluate effect 2 interventions with vs advice to follow a low-fat (control) on incidence.The PREDIMED study 1:1:1 randomized, single-blind, controlled field trial conducted at primary health care centers in Spain. From 2003 2009, 4282 women aged 60 80 years high...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent synthetic chemicals that may affect components of metabolic risk through the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor but epidemiological data remain scarce and inconsistent. To estimate associations between repeated measurements main PFAS in plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides hypertension among control subjects from a population-based nested case-control study on diabetes type 2 middle-aged women men. Participants (n = 187) were free at...
Abstract Background Ultra-processed food intake has been associated with chronic conditions and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between ultra-processed incident frailty in community-dwelling older adults. Methods Prospective cohort 1,822 individuals aged at least 60 years who were recruited during 2008–2010 Spain. At baseline, consumption obtained using a validated computerized face-to-face dietary history. foods identified according nature extent their...
Trihalomethanes (THM), a major class of disinfection by-products, are widespread and associated with adverse health effects. We conducted global evaluation current THM regulations concentrations in drinking water.
Introduction Cocaine abuse represents a major public health concern. The social perception of cocaine has been changing over the decades, phenomenon closely tied to its patterns use and abuse. Twitter is valuable tool understand status drug globally. However, no specific studies discussing have conducted on this platform. Methods 111,508 English Spanish tweets containing “cocaine” from 2018 2022 were analyzed. 550 manually studied, largest subset underwent automated classification. Then,...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have drawn much attention due to bioaccumulation potential and their current omnipresence in human blood. We assessed whether plasma PFAS, suspected induce endocrine-disrupting effects, were prospectively associated with clinical type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. established a nested case-control study within the Swedish prospective population-based Västerbotten Intervention Programme cohort. Several PFAS measured from subset of 124 pairs at baseline (during...
Introduction and objectives. Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease its risk factors. The aim this study was to assess, for the first time in literature, prospective association between UPF abdominal obesity (AO) older adults. Methods. sample consists 652 participants Seniors Study on Nutrition Cardiovascular Risk Spain: Seniors-ENRICA-1 study, (mean age 67, 44% women). At baseline, standardized anthropometric...
Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular factors and mortality. However, little is known on the UPF effect renal function. The aim this study to assess prospectively association between function decline. This a prospective cohort 1312 community-dwelling individuals aged 60 older recruited during 2008-2010 followed up December 2015. At baseline, validated dietary history was obtained. identified according NOVA classification. baseline at...
Abstract Background Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective and safe medical procedure that mainly indicated for depression, but also patients with other conditions. However, ECT among the most stigmatized controversial treatments in medicine. Our objective was to examine social media contents on Twitter related identify evaluate public views matter. Methods We collected posts English Spanish mentioning between January 1, 2019 October 31, 2020. Identified tweets were subject a mixed...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) development may be linked to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including organochlorine compounds (OCs) and perfluoroalkyl polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). To explore underlying mechanisms, we investigated metabolites, proteins, genes linking POPs with CVD risk. We used data from a nested case-control study on myocardial infarction (MI) stroke the Swedish Mammography Cohort – Clinical (n = 657 subjects). OCs, PFAS, multiomics (9511 liquid...
Abstract Background Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption, which is increasing worldwide, has recently been associated with an increased risk of death and cardiovascular disease. We aimed to assess whether consumption UPF directly subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in middle-aged men. Methods A computed tomography scan was performed on 1876 men from the Aragon Workers’ Health Study, recruited January 2011 December 2014, calcium. All participants were free heart Dietary intake collected by...
Background & aimsThe specific association of olive oil consumption with coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke has not been totally established.Objective: to examine whether is associated subclinical atherosclerosis, the risk total cardiovascular (CVD), CHD, and stroke.MethodsThree cohorts were included: AWHS (2318 men), SUN Project (18,266 men women), EPIC-Spain (39,393 women). Olive was measured at baseline using validated questionnaires.ResultsIn AWHS, 747 participants had a positive...
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal, which the non-smoking population mainly exposed to through diet. Current health-based guidance values are based on renal toxicity; however, emerging evidence suggests that bone and cardiovascular system might be more sensitive Cd exposure. To assess association of urinary (U-Cd) with incidence fractures, myocardial infarction, heart failure, ischemic stroke mortality in postmenopausal women. We used data from 4024 women, aged 56–85 population-based prospective...
Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread persistent pollutants that have been associated with elevated cholesterol levels. However, data on incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) is lacking. Objectives: We investigated the association of exposure to PFAS risk myocardial infarction stroke and, subsidiary, baseline blood lipids. Methods: This population-based nested case–control study included first cases matched controls from two Swedish cohorts: Mammography...
Background: Nitrate and trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water are widespread potential human carcinogens. Objective: We evaluated the association between drinking-water exposure to nitrate THMs prostate cancer. Methods: During period 2008–2013, 697 hospital-based incident cancer cases (97 aggressive tumors) 927 population-based controls were recruited Spain, providing information on residential histories type of consumed. Average levels linked with lifetime consumption calculate...
Teratogenic properties of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been assessed in a few studies, however, epidemiological evidence for an association is inconclusive. We conducted Swedish nation-wide register-based cohort study to assess the associations estimated fetal exposure sum drinking water perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic (PFOA), perfluorononanoic (PFNA) and perfluorohexane (PFHxS) with major congenital malformations. included all births Sweden during 2012-2018...
There is inconclusive evidence of associations between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) diabetes hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. We conducted a nation-wide register-based cohort study assess the estimated maternal drinking water sum four major PFAS (PFAS4; perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorononanoate (PFNA) perfluorohexanoate (PFHxS)) with gestational mellitus (GDM), hypertension preeclampsia. included nulliparous women giving...
Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) have shown to be involved in the atherosclerotic process and cause endothelial cell dysfunction. To assess longitudinally whether plasma concentrations of different POPs were associated with blood pressure risk hypertension middle-aged women men.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread persistent environmental pollutants. There is evidence that PFAS induce metabolic perturbations in humans, but underlying mechanisms still unknown. In this exploratory study, we investigated PFAS-related plasma metabolites for their associations with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to gain potential mechanistic insight these perturbations. We used untargeted LC-MS metabolomics find related exposures a case-control study on T2D (n = 187 matched pairs)...
