Cardiometabolic Markers Associated With Altered Fetal Growth in Mediterranean Cohort
Cardiometabolic disturbances in pregnancy appear to be associated with inappropriate fetal growth, but evidence from uncomplicated pregnancies is still scarce and, due to varied findings, inconclusive. Moreover, most studies focus on specific markers, often measured at a single gestational time-point. We aimed to assess the associations between maternal cardiometabolic markers, measured in early and late pregnancy, and neonatal size in a Mediterr…
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy and behavioural problems at 4 years of age
There is an increasing prevalence of psychological issues in childhood. Lifestyle factors during pregnancy, including maternal nutrition, have been linked to children's behavioural development. This study aims to assess the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy on the behavioural problems of children at the age of 4. A total of 231 mother-child pairs were assessed. Maternal adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregn…
Prenatal vitamin B12 status and cognitive functioning in children at 4 years of age
Maternal vitamin B12 deficiency has been associated with disturbed cognitive functioning in offspring at different ages during childhood. However, this association has not been explored in pre-school-age children. The objective of this study was to examine the association between maternal vitamin B12 levels at the beginning and end of pregnancy and cognitive functioning in their children at 4 years of age. This longitudinal prospective study incl…
Prenatal iron supplementation adjusted to maternal iron stores reduces behavioural problems in 4‐year‐old children
Prenatal iron supplementation improves children's health and cognitive performance, but few studies explore behavioural development. This study assessed the effects of adjusting prenatal iron supplementation to maternal iron stores during early pregnancy on children's behavioural problems. Randomized controlled trial conducted in Tarragona (Spain) involving 230 nonanaemic pregnant women and their children after a 4-year follow-up. Based on haemog…
Impact of Covid-19 on vacation recreational walking
This study examined the impact of COVID-19 on recreational walking while on vacation, a relevant activity among tourists especially in urban destinations. We surveyed visitors to Costa Daurada, an urban coastal destination in Catalonia in August 2020. Only 5% of participants reported lower recreational walking levels compared to normal circumstances; 75% reported similar levels; and 20% reported higher levels. Higher recreational walking levels w…
Effectiveness of a physical activity program on cardiovascular disease risk in adult primary health-care users
Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02767739 . Trial registered on May 5th, 2016. Retrospectively registered
Haemoconcentration risk at the end of pregnancy
Objective To determine the associations between haemoconcentration at the end of pregnancy (third trimester and delivery) and neonatal behaviour in healthy pregnant women supplemented with moderate doses of Fe. Design A prospective longitudinal study in which obstetric and clinical history, maternal toxic habits, maternal anxiety and Hb levels were recorded at the third trimester and delivery. Neonatal behaviour was assessed at 48–72 h of age usi…
Effects of Prenatal Nicotine Exposure on Infant Language Development
Longitudinal study of psychopathological, anthropometric and sociodemographic factors related to the level of Mediterranean diet adherence in a community sample of Spanish adolescents
Objective The Mediterranean diet (MD) pattern has important health benefits; however, it seems that Spanish school-aged children have been abandoning this healthy pattern recently. We aimed to identify psychopathological, anthropometric and sociodemographic factors that may influence the risk of low MD adherence. Design Longitudinal study in three phases. MD adherence was assessed using the Krece Plus food questionnaire and psychopathological sym…
Effects of mediterranean diet on lung function in smokers
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02151669 . Registered 26 May 2014
Dietary intake and nutritional risk in Mediterranean adolescents in relation to the severity of the eating disorder
Objective To assess the relationship between the degree of severity of eating disorders (ED) and energy and nutrient intakes and nutritional risk in a mixed-sex adolescent population without clinical symptoms. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Data were collected in schools. Subjects Adolescents ( n 495) aged 14·2 ( sd 1·0) years. The Eating Attitudes Test was used to detect adolescents at risk of ED (rED) and a structured interview based on …
Heme iron intake and risk of new-onset diabetes in a Mediterranean population at high risk of cardiovascular disease
Identifier: ISRCTN35739639
Prevalence of iron deficiency states and risk of haemoconcentration during pregnancy according to initial iron stores and iron supplementation
Objective To describe the prevalence of iron depletion (ID), iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) and risk of haemoconcentration during pregnancy and at delivery and to assess the influence of initial Fe stores and Fe supplementation on that prevalence. Design Longitudinal study. Setting Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus (Catalonia, Spain). Subjects Two hundred and eighty-five pregnant women. Serum ferritin and Hb were measured in the first, secon…
A Prospective Study of Paediatric Obsessive–Compulsive Symptomatology in a Spanish Community Sample
Nutrition education intervention for dependent patients
Clinical Trial Registration-URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01360775
Safety during the monitoring of diabetic patients
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01087541
Factors associated with commencing smoking in 12-year-old students in Catalonia (Spain)
Results indicate that the age of commencing smoking is maintained in spite of prevalence having decreased in the last few years. The risk factors identified should be used to involve families and the educational community by offering them tobacco weaning programmes
The burden of community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly
CAP remains as a major health problem in older adults. Incidence rates in this study are comparable with rates described in Northern Europe and America, but they largely doubled prior rates reported in other Southern European regions
Psychological Problems and Nutritional Status in 6-Year-Old Children
There were no relations between nutritional status and psychological problems in 83 nonclinical 6-yr.-old children from low-risk socioeconomic and family backgrounds. Only Vitamin B12 and weight were significantly lower in the group with psychological problems. More in-depth longitudinal studies are necessary to confirm these results
The contribution of foods to the dietary lipid profile of a Spanish population
Objective: To identify the food that has the greatest effect on the variation in the percentage of energy intake derived from fat and saturated fatty acids for the consumption of a Spanish population. Design: A cross-sectional study of food consumption, using the 24-hour recall method for three non-consecutive days, one of which was a non-working day. Subjects were interviewed by trained interviewers in the subjects' homes. We used multiple linea…
