Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated with a reduced risk of major chronic disease. Health-related quality life (HRQL) valid predictor mortality. The aim this study to investigate the association between MD and HRQL examine possible role dietary antioxidants, fibre content and/or fatty acid components.
Low-grade inflammation is associated with an increased risk of chronic degenerative disease, but its relationship mortality less well explored. We aimed at evaluating, a large epidemiological level, the possible association low-grade inflammation, as measured by composite score, overall risk. conducted population-based prospective investigation on 20,337 adult subjects free from major hematological disease and acute inflammatory status, randomly recruited general population Moli-sani study....
Summary The association of polyphenol content human diet with low-grade inflammation is not yet fully understood. It was the objective this study to evaluate flavonoid and lignan intake frequently used easily applicable in clinical practice biomarkers, a novel holistic approach. A total 5,948 women 5,965 men (aged ≥ 35years) were analysed from Moli-sani cohort, randomly recruited general population. EPIC-FFQ for dietary assessment. Flavonol, flavone, flavanone, flavanol, anthocyanin,...
To evaluate factors associated with depression in elderly. During 2005–2007, 553 men and 637 women (aged 65 to 100 yrs) living various Greek islands Cyprus participated the study. The sampling was random multistage (according age-sex distribution of referent population). Depressive symptoms were evaluated using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Twenty five per cent 35% classified highest GDS category (i.e. score > 10), indicating intense depressive symptoms, while 54% 70% scored above...
It is uncertain whether the cardiovascular benefits associated with Mediterranean diet (MD) may differ across socioeconomic groups.Prospective analysis on 18991 men and women aged ≥35 years from general population of Moli-sani cohort (Italy). Adherence to MD was appraised by score (MDS). Household income (euros/year) educational level were used as indicators status. Hazard ratios (HR) calculated multivariable Cox proportional hazard models.Over 4.3 follow-up, 252 disease (CVD) events...
The aim of the present work was to evaluate repeatability and validity a short food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that could be used for older people living in Mediterranean areas. semi-quantitative FFQ included questions regarding consumption main groups beverages typically consumed areas as well some eating habits persons. During 2006–2007, assessment (within 10–30 days), 150 individuals (51 ± 17 yrs, 40% males) were studied, while another 190 (74 9 52% enrolled validation purposes....
To compare the efficacy of a diet rich in natural folate and two different folic acid supplementation protocols subjects with "moderate" hyperhomocysteinemia, also taking into account C677T polymorphism 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene.We performed 13 week open, randomized, double blind clinical trial on 149 free living persons mild hyperhomocyteinemia, daily 200 μg from folate-rich diet, [6S]5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), or placebo. Participants were stratified...
Objectives Sodium is the mineral that has been, mainly, linked to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. It found naturally in many foods, but also used food industry manufacturing. Identification of total sodium intake, as well 'hidden' intake from sources early life necessary. Methods Four thousand, five hundred eighty children aged 10–12 years were enrolled, a cross-sectional, population-based survey. Among other measurements, dietary data obtained by semi-quantitative frequency...
