Mediterranean diet, energy restriction, physical activity, and atherogenicity of very-low density lipoproteins: findings from two randomized controlled trials
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2023-01)
Scope: Some very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL) properties may render themmore pro-atherogenic. We aimed to assess whether a Mediterranean diet(MedDiet) or an energy-reduced MedDiet with increased ...
Validity of a method for the self-screening of cardiovascular risk
(Dove Medical Press, 2018-05)
Background: The validity of a cardiovascular risk self-screening method was assessed. The results obtained for self-measurement of blood pressure, a point-of-care system’s assessment of lipid profile ...
High-density lipoprotein characteristics and coronary artery disease: a Mendelian randomization study
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
Background
To assess whether genetically determined quantitative and qualitative HDL characteristics were independently associated with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods
We designed a two-sample ...
Role of HDL function and LDL atherogenicity on cardiovascular risk: a comprehensive examination
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-06)
Background
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) atherogenic traits can describe the role of both particles on cardiovascular diseases more accurately than HDL- ...
Increased consumption of virgin olive oil, nuts, legumes, whole grains, and fish promotes HDL functions in humans
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-01)
Scope
To evaluate whether increases in the consumption of cardioprotective food groups (virgin olive oil, nuts, fruits/vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, and wine) are associated with improvements ...
A lifestyle intervention with an energy-restricted Mediterranean diet and physical activity enhances HDL function: a substudy of the PREDIMED-Plus randomized controlled trial
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Background
Consumption of a Mediterranean diet, adequate levels of physical activity, and energy-restricted lifestyle interventions have been individually associated with improvements in HDL functions. ...
Mediterranean diet and quality of life: Baseline cross-sectional analysis of the PREDIMED-PLUS trial
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-06)
We assessed if a 17-item score capturing adherence to a traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) was associated with better health-related quality of life among older Spanish men and women with overweight ...
Breakfast energy intake and dietary quality and trajectories of cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults
(Elsevier, 2024-12)
Objectives
Not skipping breakfast is associated with a better overall diet quality and lower cardiometabolic risk. However, the impact of calorie intake and dietary quality of breakfast on cardiovascular ...
Association between beverage consumption and environmental sustainability in an adult population with metabolic syndrome
(MDPI, 2024-03)
Beverages are an important part of the diet, but their environmental impact has been scarcely assessed. The aim of this study was to assess how changes in beverage consumption over a one-year period can ...
Cancer signaling transcriptome is upregulated in type 2 diabetes mellitus
(MDPI, 2020-12-29)
We aimed to explore the differences in the whole transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells between elderly individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). We conducted a microarray-based ...
