The association between single health behaviours and incidence of premature mortality from major chronic diseases, including myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes mellitus, cancer, has been demonstrated thoroughly. However, the several healthy with Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), which is a measure for total combining Lost due to Disability mortality, not studied yet. A prospective cohort study was conducted among 33,066 men women aged 20 70 years recruited into EPIC-NL during 1993...
We used data from 3041 participants in four cohorts of community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years Spain collected through a pre-pandemic face-to-face interview and telephone conducted between weeks 7 to 15 after the beginning COVID-19 lockdown. On average, confinement was not associated with deterioration lifestyle risk factors (smoking, alcohol intake, diet, or weight), except for decreased physical activity increased sedentary time, which reversed end confinement. However, chronic pain...
The Mediterranean diet and other dietary patterns rich in fruits vegetables have been linked to lower risk of frailty older adults. However, not all plant-based diets are necessarily healthful, no previous study has evaluated the role quality risk. Our aim was assess association between frailty.Prospective cohort consisted with 82 234 women aged ≥60 years from Nurses' Health Study, who were followed 1990 through 2014. dates analysis April 14 June 23, 2021. Dietary data collected every 4...
Malnutrition is a global concern in older adults, as it negatively affects morbidity and mortality. While higher animal protein intake may help prevent treat malnutrition, might also increase the risk of chronic diseases death. Conversely, vegetable have lower anabolic effect not be effective to improve nutritional status. We studied whether are associated with changes status adults. used pooled data from two Spanish cohorts: Seniors-ENRICA 1 2. 2,965 community-dwelling adults aged 62–92...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a leading cause of mortality worldwide, especially in the elderly. Lowering number CVD deaths requires preventive strategies targeted on elderly.The objective was to generate evidence association between WHO dietary recommendations and from CVD, coronary artery (CAD), stroke elderly aged ≥60 y.We analyzed data 10 prospective cohort studies Europe United States comprising total sample 281,874 men women free chronic diseases at baseline. Components...
Life expectancy is increasing in Europe, yet a substantial proportion of adults still die prematurely before the age 70 years. We sought to estimate joint and relative contributions tobacco smoking, hypertension, obesity, physical inactivity, alcohol poor diet towards risk premature death. analysed data from 264,906 European EPIC prospective cohort study, aged between 40 years at time recruitment. Flexible parametric survival models were used model death conditional on factors, functions...
the association between vitamin intake and frailty has hardly been studied. The objective was to assess of dietary with incident in older adults from Spain.data came a cohort 1,643 community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65, recruited 2008-10 followed up prospectively throughout 2012. At baseline, 10 vitamins were assessed (vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12, C, D, E folates) using validated face-to-face diet history. Incident identified Fried's definition as having ≥3 following...
Abstract Background Although some components of the Mediterranean diet have shown benefits in pain risk through its anti-inflammatory/antioxidant properties, no population-based studies investigated effect adherence to this on changes over time. Methods We used data from 864 and 862 older adults recruited Seniors-ENRICA-1 Seniors-ENRICA-2 cohorts followed-up for 2.8 2.4 years, respectively. Adherence was assessed with MEDAS score at baseline. Frequency, severity, locations obtained baseline...
Abstract Background There is evidence that an overall healthy diet associated with lower risk of frailty. However, the effect composition, specifically role protein intake on frailty, mostly unclear. The aim this study was to evaluate protein, including total, plant, animal, and dairy in relation frailty incidence a large cohort older women. Methods We analysed data from 85 871 women aged ≥60 participating Nurses' Health Study. Intake measured nine times during follow‐up 1980 until 2010....
Abstract Background An adequate magnesium intake might lower the risk of frailty through its role in muscle function. Methods We analysed data from 81 524 women aged ≥60 years participating Nurses' Health Study. Total was obtained repeated food frequency questionnaires administered between 1984 and 2010 self‐reported information on supplementation. Frailty defined as having at least three following five FRAIL scale criteria: fatigue, low strength, reduced aerobic capacity, ≥5 chronic...
ABSTRACT Background Multimorbidity is the most common chronic condition experienced among older adults. It unknown which amount and source of protein influences development frailty mortality in patients with multimorbidity. We aimed to examine association plant animal sources intake this type patients. Methods This longitudinal study included 1868 participants aged ≥ 60 years from Seniors‐ENRICA cohort Spain multimorbidity, defined as having 2 or more clinician‐diagnosed diseases. Habitual...
Information about nutritional risk factors of functional limitation is scarce. The aim this study was to examine the association between Mediterranean diet and physical function impairment in older adults. We used data from 1,630 participants Seniors-ENRICA cohort aged ≥60 years. In 2008–2010, adherence pattern measured with Diet Score (MDS) Adherence Screener (MEDAS). Study were followed up through 2012 assess incident agility mobility as well overall functioning, defined a ≥5-point...
Dietary proteins are sources of some amino acid precursors two neurotransmitters relevant for biological rhythms, serotonin and melatonin, which involved in sleep alertness. Meat is the main source many countries. Furthermore, meat consumption special interest because it provides high-quality protein as well saturated <i>trans</i> fatty acids. However, its effect on patterns unclear. Thereby, aim was to examine association habitual with changes duration quality older adults. We used data...
Several studies have examined the association between hearing loss (HL) and physical function, with inconsistent results. Few used pure-tone thresholds considered possible confounders in association.To examine impaired lower extremity frailty syndrome, disability older adults.The Seniors-ENRICA-2 is a cohort study that was established 2015-2017 Spain. The present conducted from December 2015 to June 2017. Data were analyzed January 2, 2021, March 10, 2021. This cross-sectional analysis...
