Background: Coffee is widely consumed worldwide and rich in polyphenols with antioxidant properties linked to a reduced risk of metabolic cardiovascular diseases. Olive pomace (OP), by-product olive oil production, contains phenolic compounds cardioprotective effects but often discarded. Combining it coffee could enhance health benefits promote sustainability. Methods: Soluble solids, total phenols, flavonoids, capacity (DPPH• scavenging activity) were analyzed C-OP at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% OP...
Background: The cost and availability of gluten-free products (GFPs) are aspects associated with dietary compliance. In turn, following a diet (GFD) could impact on lifestyle. Objectives: To investigate the GFPs in Northwestern Mexico, to associate these factors noncompliance, evaluate GFD Materials methods: Gluten-containing foods were compared their versions. data collected by store visitation (16 supermarkets 10 health food stores). Individuals prescribed physician surveyed (n=36)....
Middle-aged Hispanic women have the highest prevalence of overweight and lifetime risk for diabetes all gender/racial groups. This study examines use alternative medicine weight loss management among obese Mexican American with or at diabetes.As part a risk-reduction intervention targeting federally qualified health center in Hillsboro, Oregon, we administered survey different treatment modalities, including medicine, traditional home remedies to 85 women. We also asked participants how...
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and Look AHEAD studies demonstrated that modest weight loss increased physical activity can significantly reduce the incidence of diabetes among overweight individuals with prediabetes. However, these involved costly interventions, all which are beyond reach most real-world settings serving high-risk, low-income populations. Our project, De Por Vida, implemented a risk-reduction intervention for Hispanic women in Federally Qualified Health Center...
Obesity have increased significantly in the last decades imparing biochemical parameters and increasing risk of cardiovascular diseases adults children. However, anthropometrics analyses are necessary to know alterations early ages. The objective this study was determine overweight (OW) obesity (OB) their relationship with metabolic such as lipid profile. A random sample 314 schoolchildren aged 6–12 y old from urban area Sinaloa studied. OW OB were determined using body mass index (BMI)...
Objective To assess dietary and red blood cell (RBC) fatty acids (FA) estimate the Lipophilic Index (LI), a novel index of FA fluidity, among Mexican‐American adults with without Metabolic Syndrome (MS). Methods Fasting samples were collected from 75 (65% female; 29% MS; 38±9 years; BMI=29±5 kg/m 2 ) for measurement plasma glucose, serum lipids RBC profiles. Dietary intake was estimated using Southwest Food Frequency Questionnaire MS status determined NCEP ATP III criteria. LI calculated as...
Objective To evaluate the availability and cost of gluten‐free food products (GFP) in Northwestern México. Methods A Mexican market basket wheat‐containing was created based on data from National Council for Evaluation Social Development Policy (CONEVAL). The GFP their wheat counterparts were recorded 2 border 3 non‐border cities total 26 supermarkets health stores included. Products grouped into 17 categories. Availability defined as proportion categories found each city. Cost calculated...
Background Hispanic women are disproportionately affected by cardiometabolic disease risk factors and diabetes mellitus (DM). Thus, their diet is an important factor in chronic prevention control strategies. Objective To characterize baseline nutrient intake among overweight/obese with or at for type 2 DM participating De Por Vida , a culturally‐tailored weight loss intervention. Methods Baseline dietary data was collected using the Southwest Food Frequency Questionnaire based on prior three...
Abstract Background Unhealthy behaviors are associated with high cardiovascular disease risk. The study aimed to assess the behavioral metrics according AHA, in Northwest Mexican adolescents. Methods was cross-sectional. Demographics, health history, and smoking data were collected by questionnaires. Dietary intakes estimated using a FFQ, physical activity IPAQ. Measurements included blood pressure anthropometrics. Results Participants freshmen students (n = 228, 55.6% men, age 18.5±0.4 y)....
Lifestyle changes when transitioning from high-school to college expose students unhealthy behaviors associated with high cardiovascular risk. The study aimed assess the behavior metrics according AHA criteria, in freshman adolescents Northwest Mexico.The was cross-sectional. Demographics and health history were collected by questionnaires. Four evaluated: diet quality using a duplicated FFQ, physical activity (PA) IPAQ, smoking, body mass index (BMI) percentile; blood pressure measured as...
Obesity is considered as one of the main risk factors that predispose to chronic diseases, such diabetes, which has been significantly increasing in children. The objective was analyze association between obesity and hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia (HG), insulin, insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR) polymorphisms gene encoding potassium inwardly‐rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) 120 children from Sinaloa, Mexico. Two groups (60 obese 60 non‐obese children, according Body Mass...
Although the etiology of obesity and comorbidities is poorly understood, genetic factors like polymorphisms strongly influence variations among individuals. Therefore we evaluated role gene encoding hepatic lipase (LIPC) G‐250A leptin receptor (LEPR) Q223R in blood biochemical parameters overweight obese Mexican children. The genotype was determined using PCR‐RFLP analysis for 120 children (60 obese, body mass index (BMI) age gender percentile >85 th 60 lean, 5–85 ). Additionally, were...
Obesity (O) is a multifactorial disorder and associates with the development of several chronic diseases. The metabolic syndrome (MS) diagnosed when three or more than any factors like dislipidemia, hyperglicemia, hypertension central obesity are presented. Some studies associated carbohydrate intake MS has been reported. objective this study was to evaluate effect low calorie‐ moderate diet (40% energy) on in people from Mexico for 8 weeks. 156 subjects participated study, however only 29...
Background: Hispanic women are disproportionately affected by cardiometabolic disease risk factors including increased adiposity. Addressing barriers to dietary change is an important strategy for ensuring success of behavioral weight loss interventions. However, perceived healthy eating among have not been thoroughly studied, and how a type 2 diabetes (T2D) or prediabetes (preD) diagnosis HbA1c levels related those perceptions unknown. Objective: To examine the association with T2D status...
Background Diet quality is an important factor contributing to type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention and control. Although nutrition therapy recommended as part of standard medical care for T2D patients, it not known whether diet differs among Hispanic women depending on their diagnosis status. This particular importance given the low awareness pre‐diabetes (preD) in this population. Objective To compare baseline macronutrient intake dietary overweight/obese with or at‐risk T2D, based status...
To identify dietary patterns of Mexican women in the Sonora-Arizona transborder region and assess their association with cardiometabolic risk factors. Mexican-born aged 25–50 years residing Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico (n = 61) Phoenix, Arizona, United States self-reported intake via Southwest Food Frequency Questionnaire capturing prior year completed a clinic visit for assessment anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, hair cortisol, fasting lipids, glucose, C-reactive protein (hsCRP),...
