Active Commuting, Physical Activity, and Sedentary Behaviors in Children and Adolescents from Spain
Active commuting (AC) has been proposed as a great opportunity to increase physical activity level (PA) in children and adolescents. The aim of the present study is to determine the associations between AC (walk and cycle commuting) and non-AC (motor vehicle commuting) with PA levels, and with AC and sedentarism in Spanish children and adolescents. A representative Spanish sample of 424 children and adolescents (38% females) was involved in the A…
Malnutrition in all its forms by wealth, education and ethnicity in Latin America
Objective: To summarise the findings from this supplemental issue on the distribution of malnutrition (stunting/short stature, anaemia and overweight) by wealth, education and ethnicity within and between ten Latin American countries. Design: We retrieved information from each country’s article and estimated the average difference in the prevalence of malnutrition between groups. We estimated the associations between countries’ malnutrition preva…
Sedentary behavior among Spanish children and adolescents
Spanish children and adolescents are not meeting the recommendations regarding the maximum of screen viewing (<2 h/day), especially during the weekend, for all of sedentary behaviors. Urgent strategies and intervention studies are needed to reduce sedentary behavior in young people
Differences in meal patterns and timing with regard to central obesity in the Anibes (‘Anthropometric data, macronutrients and micronutrients intake, practice of physical activity, socioeconomic data …
Objective To study the association of meal patterns and timing with central obesity to identify the best dietary strategies to deal with the increasing obesity prevalence. Design A cross-sectional study performed on data from a representative sample of the Spanish population. Height and waist circumference were measured using standardized procedures and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was calculated. The sample was divided into those without central…
Social-ecological systems in the Anthropocene
Understanding social-ecological system dynamics is a major research priority for sustainable management of landscapes, ecosystems and resources. But the lack of multi-decadal records represents an important gap in information that hinders the development of the research agenda. Without improved information on the long-term and complex interactions between causal factors and responses, it will be difficult to answer key questions about trends, rat…
Waist-to-height ratio, inflammation and CVD risk in obese children
Objective To evaluate the association between waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and specific biomarkers of inflammation, CVD risk and endothelial dysfunction in prepubertal obese children. Design Prospective, multicentre case–control study matched by age and sex. Setting Children were recruited between May 2007 and May 2010 from primary-care centres and schools in three cities in Spain (Cordoba, Santiago de Compostela and Zaragoza). Subjects Four hund…
Are healthcare workers’ intentions to vaccinate related to their knowledge, beliefs and attitudes? a systematic review
Wholegrain cereals and bread
Objective The promotion of healthy lifestyles is one of the major goals of governments and international agencies all over the world. Wholegrain cereals are rich in nutrients and many phytochemical compounds, with recognised benefits for health, including dietary fibre, a number of phenolic compounds, lignans, vitamins and minerals and other bioactive components. The aim of the present work is to review the fundamental studies that support the co…
Burden of disease due to cancer in Spain
Lung, colorectal and breast cancers are responsible for the highest number of DALYs in Spain. Even if the burden of disease due to cancer is predominantly caused by mortality, some cancers have a significant weight of disability. Information on 2000 burden of disease due to cancer can be useful to assess how it has evolved over time and the impact of medical advances on it in terms of mortality and disability
Factors associated with maternal mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa
Education and an effective and efficient health system, especially during pregnancy and delivery, are strongly related to maternal death. Also, macro-economic factors are related and could be influencing the others
Fortified foods. Criteria for vitamin supplementation in Spain
Objective: To review and analyse criteria for vitamin supplementation and fortification in Spain. Design: Systematic review of scientific literature and simulation analysis of food fortification. Methods: A simulation analysis using a fortified beverage was performed in a random sample of 2855 children aged 2 to 24 years in Spain. Results: High-risk groups for vitamin supplementation and fortification in Spain are highlighted, and target vitamins…
Cytogenetics of autosomal fragile sites
Population cytogenetic data on autosomal fragile sites show differences among different ethnic groups. The Basques are an ancient population; their origin is not exactly known and many studies using several traits have shown peculiarities in the Basques. This is the first study about the incidence of autosomal fragile sites in a healthy Basque sample. The results show interindividual variability, no sex differences at a global level, but differen…
