The main objective of this work is to investigate the relationship between Mediterranean diet (MD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) its components in Caucasian subjects 35 74 years. secondary analyze sex differences. Methods: A cross-sectional trial. This study utilized data from EVA, MARK, EVIDENT studies, a total 3417 with mean age ± SD 60.14 9.14 years (57% men) were included. We followed five criteria established National Cholesterol Education Program III define MetS. MD was assessed...
Long COVID has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk and chronic low-grade inflammation, raising concerns about its long-term metabolic consequences. Given that the Mediterranean diet (MD) shown beneficial effects on factors inflammation in various populations, it is important to explore potential impact individuals COVID. Therefore, aim determine association of MD (CVRF) syndrome (MetS) Caucasian subjects diagnosed Cross-sectional study, 305 were included following WHO...
The relationship between alcohol consumption and vascular structure arterial stiffness is not clear, especially in people diagnosed with persistent COVID. aim of this study was to evaluate how use related adults A descriptive cross-sectional conducted involving 305 individuals (97 men 208 women) COVID according the WHO criteria. Arterial assessed by measuring cardio-ankle index (CAVI) brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) a VaSera VS-1500 device, carotid-femoral (cf-PWV) Sphygmocor...
Gut microbiota and its by-products are increasingly recognized as having a decisive role in cardiovascular diseases. The aim is to study the relationship between gut early vascular ageing (EVA).
The increasing use of smartphones by older adults also increases their potential for improving different aspects health in this population. Some studies have shown promising results the improvement cognitive performance through lifestyle modification. All may a broad impact on quality life and carrying out daily living activities. objective study is to evaluate effectiveness combining smartphone smartband technology 3 months with brief counseling habits, as opposed providing only, physical...
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the relationship Mediterranean diet (MD) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in Caucasian subjects between 35 74 years. secondary analyze sex differences. Methods: A cross‑sectional trial. This utilized data from EVA, MARK, EVIDENT studies, a total 3417 mean age 60.14±9.14 years (57% men). MetS was defined based on Joint Scientific Statement National Cholesterol Education Program III. Waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting...
People living with dementia (PLWD) and their family caregivers report higher rates of having a sedentary lifestyle than non-disabled peers do. This study analyzed the effectiveness an intervention designed to increase physical activity among PLWD in primary health care settings. A cluster-randomized multicenter clinical trial was conducted. Participants from four centers were randomly assigned group (IG) or control (CG) 1:1 ratio using Epidat software. After seven-day period digital...
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy combined use smartphone and smartband technology for 3-months alongside brief lifestyle counselling, versus counselling alone, in increasing physical activity. As secondary objectives, effects intervention on dietary habits, body composition, quality life, level functionality cognitive performance were assessed. Methods This employed a randomized clinical trial two-parallel groups design – control group (CG) (IG). conducted...
Background The microbiota is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in the pathophysiology of many diseases, including cardiometabolic with lifestyles probably exerting greatest influence on composition human microbiome. main objectives study are to analyze association (diet, physical activity, tobacco, and alcohol) gut oral microbiota, arterial aging, cognitive function subjects without cardiovascular disease Iberian Peninsula. In addition, will examine mediating role microbiome...
Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection affects the vascular endothelium, which mediates inflammatory and thrombotic cascade. Moreover, alterations in endothelium are related to arterial stiffness, has been established as a marker of cardiovascular disease. The objective this study is analyse how structure, function, ageing endothelial damage biopsychological situation adults diagnosed with persistent COVID differences by gender. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, observational will be...
Background Behavioral and substance addictions are prevalent health problems that, alongside obesity, linked to reduced physical activity increased sedentary time. Similarly, arterial stiffness vascular aging processes that begin gradually at an early age closely associated with morbidity mortality from cardiovascular diseases. The main objective of this study is analyze how related obesity body fat distribution, activity, time, aging, as well sleep quality, cognitive function gender...
The aim of this longitudinal descriptive observational study was to analyze the influence different lifestyles on arterial stiffness (AS) throughout five years follow-up and describe differences by sex in a Spanish adult population without cardiovascular disease at start study. A random stratified sampling age used obtain 501 subjects included initial assessment. No allowed subjects. average 55.9 years, 50.3% were women. total 480 analyzed again later. Alcohol tobacco consumption collected...
The progression of Central Blood Pressure (CBP) values and central hemodynamic parameters its relationship with cardiovascular risk factors is quite unknown. We sought to investigate this association in a Spanish adult population without diseases.
Background: mHealth technologies could help to improve cardiovascular health; however, their effect on arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters has not been explored date. Objective: To evaluate the of a intervention, at 3 12 months, central in sedentary population with overweight obesity. Methods: Randomised controlled clinical trial (Evident study). 253 subjects were included: 127 intervention group (IG) 126 control (CG). The IG briefed use Evident app smart band (Mi Band 2, Xiaomi)...
During the transition to menopause, women experience different psychological, hormonal, and physical alterations that can affect their health. Physical activity is considered an important strategy in prevention control of such changes.To evaluate short-term effect intensive intervention, based on a combined exercise programme using Smartband, increase decrease sedentary lifestyle postmenopausal inactive women.Randomized clinical trial with two parallel groups.In total, 100 aged 45-70 years...
The aim of the study was to examine relationship between Mediterranean diet (MD) and vascular stiffness metabolic syndrome (MetS), as well its components in individuals over age 65, overall by sex.
Background: Recent research highlights the potential role of sex-specific variations in cardiovascular disease. The gut microbiome has been shown to differ between sexes patients with risk factors. Objectives: main objective this study is analyze differences women and men relationship microbiota measures arterial stiffness. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional Spain, selecting 180 subjects (122 women, 58 men) aged 45 74. Subjects stiffness were identified by presence at least one...
Abstract Aim This study assesses the effect of an intervention to reduce disruptive behaviours (DB) presented by care recipient users adult day centres (ADCC), thereby reducing caregiver overload. While ADCC offer beneficial respite for family caregivers, DB that many recipients show promote resistance attending these centres, which can be a great burden on their caregivers. Design Randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods The was carried out with 130 caregivers people seven in...
The data on the relationship between insulin resistance and vascular ageing are limited. aim of this study was to explore association different indices with in an adult Caucasian population without cardiovascular disease. We selected 501 individuals disease (mean age: 55.9 years, 50.3% women) through random sampling stratified by sex age. Arterial stiffness evaluated measuring carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) brachial-to-ankle (baPWV). participants were classified into three...
