HRQoL were assessed Audit Diabetes-Dependent Quality Life Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaires, respectively. Adherence MedDiet evaluated relative Diet Score (rMED)....
The objective of this study was to describe the intake macronutrient, especially fatty acids, and explore their possible effect on diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In case–control study, we included a total 146 DR 148 without DR. macronutrient evaluated using validated food frequency questionnaire. We used logistic regression adjusted for sex, age, duration, energy intake, educational level, physical activity, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure,...
We aimed to assess food intake and adherence the Mediterranean Diet in patients with T1D compared nondiabetic individuals. This was an observational, multicenter study 262 subjects 254 age- sex-matched subjects. A validated food-frequency questionnaire administered. The alternate Score (aMED) Healthy Eating Index (aHEI) were assessed. clinical variables also collected. analysis of data included comparisons between groups multivariate models. Compared controls, had a higher dairy products (p...
Lipoprotein disturbances have been associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We assessed the advanced lipoprotein profile T1DM individuals, and analysed differences non-diabetic counterparts.This cross-sectional study involved 508 adults 347 controls, recruited from institutions a Mediterranean region of Spain. Conventional (assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR] spectroscopy) profiles were analysed. Crude adjusted (by age, sex,...
Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are at increased risk for heart failure (HF). The cardiac-specific (FABP3) and adipose-tissue-specific (FABP4) types of the fatty acid binding proteins have been associated both all-cause cardiovascular (CV) mortality. aim this study was to explore prognosis value FABP3 FABP4 in ambulatory subjects chronic HF (CHF), without T2D. A prospective involving 240 CHF performed. Patients were followed-up a mean 5.78 ± 3.30 years cause death (if any)...
Purpose The Mollerussa prospective cohort was created to study pre-diabetes in a population-based sample from the primary care setting semirural area of Pla d’Urgell Catalonia (Spain). aims were assess prevalence our population, likelihood develop overt diabetes over time and identify risk factors associated with progression condition. Participants includes 594 subjects randomly selected between March 2011 July 2014 who older than 25 years, consented participate did not have recorded...
In this cross-sectional study, we assessed the possible association of vitamin D deficiency with self-reported treatment satisfaction and health-related quality life in patients type 2 diabetes.We performed a sub-analysis previous study included total 292 diabetic patients. We evaluated through specific tools: Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire Audit Diabetes-Dependent Quality Life. Vitamin was defined as 25 (OH) serum levels < 15 ng/mL.Multivariable linear regression models were...
This study aimed to assess the potential association between dietary patterns (i.e., Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) and healthy eating) patient-reported quality of life (QoL) treatment satisfaction (TS) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A food frequency questionnaire, Audit Diabetes-Dependent Quality Life (ADDQoL-19), Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-status version (DTSQ-s) were administered via personal interviews 258 participants T1D. Multivariable analysis showed that a...
Abstract Background Compelling evidence suggests that the fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) / α-klotho axis is impaired in subjects with diabetes mellitus. We examined relationship between parameters related to calcium/phosphate homeostasis, including FGF23 and α-klotho, subclinical carotid atherosclerosis burden type 1 mellitus (T1D) subjects. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 226 T1D 147 age-, sex- plaque-matched, non-diabetic (non-T1D) subjects, both normal renal function....
