Dietary guidelines emphasize the importance of a varied diet to provide an adequate nutrient intake. However, older age is often associated with consumption monotonous diets that can be nutritionally inadequate, increasing risk for development or progression diet-related chronic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). To assess association between dietary diversity (DD) and intake adequacy identify demographic variables DD, we cross-sectionally analyzed baseline data from PREDIMED-Plus...
Overweight and obesity are important risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Moving towards healthier diets, namely, diets rich in bioactive compounds, could decrease the odds of suffering T2D. However, those individuals with high body mass index (BMI) may have altered absorption or metabolism some nutrients dietary components, including polyphenols. Therefore, we aimed to assess whether intakes classes polyphenols associated T2D a population metabolic syndrome how these associations depend...
Even relatively low levels of metals exposure may impact health, particularly among vulnerable populations such as infants and young children. However, little is known about the interplay between simultaneous metal exposures, common in real-life scenarios, their association with specific dietary patterns. In this study, we have evaluated adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD) urinary concentrations individually an mixture 713 children aged 4-5-years from INMA cohort study. We used a validated...
Background. Body weight dissatisfaction is a hindrance to following healthy lifestyle and it has been associated with concerns. Objectives. The aim of this study was assess the association between adherence Mediterranean (diet exercise) desired body loss in an adult population overweight. Methods. Cross-sectional analysis 6355 participants (3268 men; 3087 women) metabolic syndrome BMI (Body mass index) 27.0 40.0 kg/m2 (55–75 years old) from PREDIMED-Plus trial. Desired percentage that wished...
We assessed the association between usual coffee consumption and all-cause, cardiovascular (CV), cancer mortality in an adult population Spain, taking into account both amount type of consumed. used baseline data on other personal variables, number deaths during 18-year follow-up period, for 1567 participants aged 20 years older from Valencia Nutrition Study Spain. Total, caffeinated, decaffeinated was using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Cox regression models were to estimate...
The purpose of this study was to examine if the short semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) is a reliable and valid tool assess diet Spanish children aged 7-9 years. We collected data from 156 birth cohort INMA (Infancia y Medio Ambiente (Environment Childhood)). Children's parents or care-givers completed 46-item FFQ on two occasions over 9-12-month period about children's diet. To explore reproducibility FFQ, nutrient group intake both FFQs were compared, while validity...
We aimed to evaluate the association between three previously defined pro-vegetarian (PVG) food patterns and cancers of oesophagus, stomach, pancreas in a multi case-control study. analyzed data from multi-case hospital-based study carried out two Mediterranean provinces Spain. A total 1233 participants were included analyses: 778 incident cancer cases, histologically confirmed (199 414 165 pancreas) 455 controls. dietary assessment was performed using validated frequency questionnaire...
Prenatal exposure to metals/metalloids, even at common US population levels, may pose risks fetal health, and affect children's lung function. Yet, the combined effects of simultaneous prenatal exposures on function remain largely unexplored. This study analyzed 11 metals (As speciation, Cd, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Zn) in maternal urine during weeks 24-28 gestation evaluated function, including forced vital capacity (FVC) expiratory volume first second expiration (FEV1), 316...
Tools to assess diet in a reliable and efficient way are needed, particularly children adolescents. In this study, we the reproducibility validity of semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) among adolescents Spain. We analyzed data 51 male aged 15–17 years from prospective birth cohort study. Participants answered FFQ twice self-administered over 12-month period. Reproducibility was assessed by comparing nutrient intakes FFQs, average two FFQs 24-Hour Dietary Recalls obtained...
Background Helping consumers to improve the nutritional quality of their diet is a key public health action prevent cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The modified version Food Standard Agency Nutrient Profiling System Dietary Index (FSAm-NPS DI) underpinning Nutri-Score front-of-pack label has been used in strategies address deleterious consequences poor diets. This study aimed assess association between FSAm-NPS DI and some CVD risk factors including body mass index (BMI), waist...
We assessed the association between usual olive oil consumption (OOC) and all-cause, cardiovascular (CVD) cancer mortality in an adult population Spain.OOC was evaluated at baseline 1,567 participants aged 20 years older from Valencia Nutrition Study Spain using validated food frequency questionnaires. During 18-year follow-up period, 317 died, 115 due to CVD 82 cancer. Cox regression models were used estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HR) 95% confidence intervals (95%CI).After adjusting for...
Seaweed consumption has gained popularity due to its nutritional value and potential health benefits. However, concerns regarding the bioaccumulation of several trace elements highlight need for comprehensive studies on exposure associated with seaweed consumption. To address this gap in knowledge, we carried out a feeding intervention study three common edible seaweeds (Nori, Kombu, Wakame) 11 volunteers, aiming elucidate extent both beneficial harmful element through humans. Concentrations...
To assess the association between self-reported health (SRH) and mortality from all-causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD) cancer, in adults 65 years older Spain.We analysed data of 894 (504 women, 390 men) aged above two population-based studies, EUREYE-Spain study Valencia Nutritional Survey (VNS). SRH was assessed at baseline using a single question which is widely used epidemiological studies: "Overall, how would you consider your present?" response options were: 1. Very good, 2. Good, 3....
Carotenoids are pigments contained mainly in fruit and vegetables (F&V) that have beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health. Due to their lipophilic nature, co-ingestion of fat appears increase bioavailability via facilitating transfer the aqueous micellar phase during digestion. However, extent which high intake may contribute increased carotenoid plasma concentrations is still unclear. The objective was examine degree consumption different amounts both carotenoid-rich foods fats...
Reliable tools to evaluate diet are needed, particularly in life periods such as adolescence which a rapid rate of growth and development occurs. We assessed the biochemical validity self-administered food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) sample Spanish male adolescents using carotenoids vitamin E D data. analyzed data from 122 aged 15–17 years INMA-Granada birth cohort study. Adolescents answered 104-item FFQ provided non-fasting blood sample. Mean daily nutrient intakes serum concentration...
