Association between obesity and mental health problems among Spanish children aged 9 and 12 years
Obesity is an important determinant of mental health in the child and adolescent population. In this study, the association between obesity and the development of psychological problems in Spanish children aged 9 and 12 years was examined. In this prospective study, 2,473 9-year-old children and 2,119 12-year-olds who participated in the Longitudinal Study of Childhood Obesity (ELOIN) were evaluated. The standardized BMI was calculated from weigh…

Dimensions and domains to assess secondhand tobacco smoke exposure
OBJECTIVE: To identify the dimensions and domains to be included in questionnaires when assessing self-reported secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure in etiological studies and in population health surveys. METHOD: A qualitative study was conducted in two stages. In stage one, based on a Delphi methodology, 16 experts in tobacco epidemiology completed two questionnaires and attended a group session. In stage two, triangulation interviews were c…
Sitting less and moving more
Substituting one hour per week of ST with an equivalent amount of PA was associated with a lower risk of all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality
Rural-urban gradients and all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality in Spain using individual data
The literature reporting on rural-urban health status disparities remains inconclusive.•We analyzed data from a longitudinal population-based study using individual observations.•Our results show that the risks of all-cause and cancer mortality are greater in large cities than in other municipalities, with no clear urban-rural gradient.•Not differences were found among territories in cardiovascular mortality
Physical and social environmental factors related to co-occurrence of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors
Predictive capacity of self-rated health on all-cause mortality in Spain
BACKGROUND: Published evidence on self-rated health's capacity to predict mortality and its variability across subpopulations lacks consistency. Our objective is to evaluate this predictive association and whether/how it varies by sex, age and educational attainment at the population level in Spain. METHODS: Data came from a prospective longitudinal study based on 42 645 individuals aged ≥15 years who participated in the 2011-2012 and 2014 Spanis…
Small area influences on the individual unhealthy lifestyle behaviors
Accuracy of anthropometric measurements and weight status perceptions reported by parents of 4-year-old children
Objective: To assess the validity of self-reported height and weight by parents of 4-year-old children and subjective weight perception. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting: Paediatric population living in the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Participants: Children born in 2008–2009 examined at 47–59 months of age. Data were collected by paediatricians of the Madrid Primary Care Physicians Sentinel Network. Parents reported weight a…
Assessing the Retail Food Environment in Madrid
Previous studies have suggested that European settings face unique food environment issues; however, retail food environments (RFE) outside Anglo-Saxon contexts remain understudied. We assessed the completeness and accuracy of an administrative dataset against ground truthing, using the example of Madrid (Spain). Further, we tested whether its completeness differed by its area-level socioeconomic status (SES) and population density. First, we col…
Parental perception of child health status and quality of life associated with overweight and obesity in early childhood
Exposure to secondhand smoke in the home and mental health in children
Among children, SHS exposure in the home during ≥1 h/day is associated with a higher frequency of mental disorder. This association was mostly due to the impact of SHS on ADHD
Towns with extremely low mortality due to ischemic heart disease in Spain
Results indicate that dietary and health care factors have an influence on inframortality. The geographical aggregation suggests that other factors with a spatial pattern, e.g., genetic or environmental might also be implicated. These results will have to be confirmed by studies in situ, with objective measurements at an individual level
Second-hand smoke exposure and psychological distress in adolescents. A population-based study
In non-smoking adolescents, duration of exposure to SHS in the home had a positive dose-response relationship with the frequency of psychological distress. However SHS exposure outside the home did not show an association with mental health

Confirmatory factor analysis of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) in Spanish adolescents
Deaths in collective dwellings and inequalities in small-area mortality
BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of elderly persons reside and die in institutions, yet there are few studies that analyse the effect of this on mortality in small areas and its ensuing effect on the association between material deprivation and mortality. METHODS: A cross-sectional, ecological study in the region of Madrid covering 3906 census tracts (median 1000 inhabitants), using mortality data for 1996-2003 and socioeconomic deprivation from th…
Impact of the "Tobacco control law" on exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in Spain
A considerable reduction in exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in the workplace and, to a lesser extent, in bars and restaurants, is related to the implementation of the "Tobacco control law". Although only initial figures, these results already demonstrate the effectiveness of strategies that establish control measures to guarantee smoke-free places
