Comprehensive analysis of the relationship between ultra-processed food consumption and food addiction at one-year follow-up in older adults with metabolic syndrome
Area-Level Socioeconomic Inequalities in Adiposity among Older Adults: The Moderating Effect of Neighborhood Walkability
Socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with higher obesity risk in older adults, but whether walkable neighborhoods modify these inequalities remains unclear. We examined whether neighborhood walkability moderates the association between area-level socioeconomic status (SES) and adiposity among older adults with overweight or obesity living in Mediterranean cities. This cross-sectional study analyzed baseline data from 1286 urban-dwelling adult…

Mediterranean Built Environment and Precipitation as Modulator Factors on Physical Activity in Obese Mid-Age and Old-Age Adults with Metabolic Syndrome: Cross-Sectional Study
When promoting physical activity (PA) participation, it is important to consider the plausible environmental determinants that may affect this practice. The impact of objectively-measured public open spaces (POS) and walk-friendly routes on objectively-measured and self-reported PA was explored alongside the influence of rainy conditions on this association, in a Mediterranean sample of overweight or obese senior adults with metabolic syndrome. C…
Pistachio consumption modulates DNA oxidation and genes related to telomere maintenance: A crossover randomized clinical trial
Chronic pistachio consumption reduces oxidative damage to DNA and increases the gene expression of some telomere-associated genes. Lessening oxidative damage to DNA and telomerase expression through diet may represent an intriguing way to promote healthspan in humans, reversing certain deleterious metabolic consequences of prediabetes. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01441921.

The feasibility and acceptability of reducing salt in partially baked bread: A Spanish case study
Objective Bread is a staple of the Mediterranean diet but contributes substantially to its salt content (19 % in Spain). The objective of the present study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of salt reduction in partially baked breads, partly replacing salt (NaCl) with a potassium salt, with subsequent follow-up. Design During 2013, nine breads already on the market (1·8 % NaCl flour basis) had 0·5 % of NaCl replaced with potassium c…
Adolescents’ ability to select healthy food using two different front-of-pack food labels: A cross-over study
Objective To compare, in adolescents, two models of front-of-pack Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) labels in terms of (i) friendliness and acceptance and (ii) the ability to choose a diet that closely follows the nutritional recommendations. Design A randomized cross-over study was designed to compare two simplified front-of-pack GDA nutrition labels. Setting A Spanish secondary school. Subjects Eighty-one healthy adolescents aged between 14 and 16 …
Retracted: Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet
BACKGROUND: Observational cohort studies and a secondary prevention trial have shown an inverse association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and cardiovascular risk. We conducted a randomized trial of this diet pattern for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events. METHODS: In a multicenter trial in Spain, we randomly assigned participants who were at high cardiovascular risk, but with no cardiovascular disease at enrollment, to …

Physical activity, energy balance and obesity
Obesity appears when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. The most important variable compound of energy expenditure is physical activity. The global epidemics of obesity seem closely related to reduced physical activity and sedentariness widely increasing nowadays. Once obesity has developed, caloric intake becomes similar to energy expenditure. To lose weight, besides decreasing energy intake, energy expenditure must be increased. The prom…

Inflammation, obesity and comorbidities: The role of diet
The adipocyte metabolism has been shown to change during the fat enlargement process associated to obesity. Several procoagulant proteins such as plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, tissue factor or factor VII and also inducible nitric oxide synthase show higher expression in adipose tissue of obese people in comparison to lean. This overexpression could explain at least a part of the atherogenic and cardiovascular risk associated with obesit…
