Nitric-Oxide-Inducing Factors on Vitamin D Changes in Older People Susceptible to Suffer from Sarcopenia
Calcium and magnesium, together with vitamin D and the hormones testosterone and cortisol, are key elements in muscle function, to maintain physical fitness. This study aims to analyze if supplementation with NO precursors (L-arginine, L-citrulline and beetroot extract) modulates the circulating levels of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and steroid hormones in elders. Sixty-one volunteers (65.1 years old, 164.6 cm of height and 71.2 kg of weight) s…
Body image satisfaction and weight concerns among a Mediterranean adult population
Most of studied population reported body image dissatisfaction, but half of them are not worried about it. Women were more concerned about their body weight status.

The prevalence of excessive weight in Balearic Islands’ young and middle-aged women and its association with social and socioeconomic factors
No significant increase in the prevalence of overweight/obesity was observed in middle-aged women, with a low level of education being the single socioeconomic variable associated with excessive weight in this target group. Overweight/obesity increased in young women with unemployment being the distinguishing socioeconomic factor associated with this increase
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and consumption of functional foods among the Balearic Islands’ adolescent population
Objective To assess differences in adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) between consumers and non-consumers of functional foods among the Balearic Islands’ adolescent population. Design Cross-sectional nutritional survey carried out (2007–2008) in the Balearic Islands, a Mediterranean region. Dietary assessment was based on a semi-quantitative FFQ and two non-consecutive 24 h recalls. Anthropometric measurements and questions related to socio…
Tourism capitalism and island urbanization
The Balearic Islands are one of the main tourism regions in Europe, and tourism has been the structural capitalist activity of urban growth there since the 1950s. Mapping tourist accommodation in the Balearics might help spatially explain the important socio-spatial transformation of a small archipelago in the Western Mediterranean. This paper analyses the diffusion of tourist accommodations as the main vehicle for urbanization since the 1950s. T…
Food Consumption Patterns of Balearic Islands’ Adolescents Depending on Their Origin
The expansion of urbanisation in the Balearic Islands (1956–2006)
Since the mid-20th century the Balearic Islands have experienced significant changes as a result of their incorporation into the global economy as a mass tourism destination. The expansion of urbanisation has become a main change, given that the archipelago’s urbanised surface has increased fivefold since 1956. The territory of the islands has been organised internally to meet the demands of, first, tourism, and, second, the residential demands o…

Body image and eating patterns among adolescents
Many overfat boys were satisfied with their body image while practically all overfat girls reported wishing a thinner body. Meal patterns and food consumption were associated with body dissatisfaction and overfat status among adolescents
Proposal for a Breakfast Quality Index (BQI) for children and adolescents
Objective To propose and apply an instrument to assess the breakfast quality of children and adolescents in the Mediterranean area. Design Randomized, cross-sectional survey of breakfast consumption using a validated semi-quantitative FFQ administered at school by trained dietitians between Tuesday and Friday. A Breakfast Quality Index (BQI) score was developed, assigning a positive value to the consumption of cereals, fruit, vegetables, dairy pr…
Association between sedentary behaviour and socioeconomic factors, diet and lifestyle among the Balearic Islands adolescents
The prevalence of sedentary behaviour among Balearic Islands adolescents is high, mainly among girls. Age, sex, parental educational and profession levels, body size dissatisfaction, and poor quality diet are important factors of physical activity practice among adolescents
Western and Mediterranean dietary patterns among Balearic Islands’ adolescents
Objective To assess prevailing food patterns among Balearic Islands’ adolescents, and socio-economic and lifestyle determinants. Design Cross-sectional nutritional survey carried out (2007–2008) in the Balearic Islands, a Mediterranean region. Dietary assessment was based on a 145-item semi-quantitative FFQ and two non-consecutive 24 h recalls. Anthropometric measurements and questions related to socio-economic, lifestyle, physical activity and b…
Food patterns and Mediterranean diet in western and eastern Mediterranean islands
Objective To assess current Mediterranean dietary patterns (MDP) in the western and eastern Mediterranean, i.e. in Balearic islanders (BI) and Greek islanders (GI). Subjects and methods Dietary patterns were assessed using FFQ on a representative sample ( n 1200) of the BI and GI ( n 1324) adult population. A Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) was calculated according to the consumption of nine MDP components: (i) with a beneficial effect on health, …
Nutritional status of the Andean population of Puna and Quebrada of Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina
Objective To assess the nutritional status of the Andean population of Puna and Quebrada of Humahuaca, Jujuy, using anthropometric measurements. Design and subjects A cross-sectional nutritional survey was carried out in a representative sample ( n = 1236) of individuals from these regions. Children aged 2–9 years, adolescents (10–17 years) and adults (≥18 years; pregnant and lactating women excluded) were considered. Height-for-age, weight-for-h…
Does the diet of the Balearic population, a Mediterranean-type diet, ensure compliance with nutritional objectives for the Spanish population
Objectives To assess the dietary habits of Balearic Islands' consumers who are successful in meeting current nutritional recommendations, to find clues for the development of future food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) that would be relevant to this population. Design Cross-sectional nutritional survey carried out in the Balearic Islands between 1999 and 2000. Subjects and methods Dietary habits were assessed by means of 24-hour recall (two non-c…
