Obesity as a complex chronic disease
Obesity is a chronic disease of multifactorial origin, with a high prevalence worldwide that is associated with potentially serious complications and that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Due to its high clinical ...
Interaction between plasma phospholipid odd‑chain fatty acids and GAD65 autoantibodies on the incidence of adult‑onset diabetes: the EPIC‑InterAct case–cohort study
Aims/hypothesis Islet autoimmunity may progress to adult-onset diabetes. We investigated whether circulating odd-chain fatty acids (OCFA) 15:0 and 17:0, which are inversely associated with type 2 diabetes, interact with ...
Sourdough bread with different fermentation times: A randomized clinical trial in subjects with metabolic syndrome
The Mediterranean diet, featuring sourdough bread, shows promise in managing metabolic syndrome. This study explored the effects of two sourdough breads, with differing fermentation times but similar nutritional profiles, ...
Placental efflux transporters and antiseizure or antidepressant medication use impact birth weight in MoBa cohort
Low birth weight raises neonatal risks and lifelong health issues and is linked to maternal medication use during pregnancy. We examined data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study and the Medical Birth ...
Systematic review of ethical issues in perinatal mental health research
BackgroundMaternal mental health during the peripartum period is critically important to the wellbeing of mothers and their infants. Numerous studies and clinical trials have focused on various aspects of interventions and ...
Efficacy of capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency in the physiotherapeutic treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a multifactorial disorder that affects 5.7% to 26.6% of women and 2.2% to 9.7% of men, characterized by hypersensitivity of the central and peripheral nervous system ...
Fruit and vegetable consumption is inversely associated with plasma saturated fatty acids at baseline in Predimed Plus Trial
Scope Plasma fatty acids (FAs) are associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. The aim of our study is to assess the relationship between fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption and ...
Mediterranean diet, energy restriction, physical activity, and atherogenicity of very-low density lipoproteins: findings from two randomized controlled trials
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 physical activityimproves ...
Association of physical activity with high-density lipoprotein functionality in a population-based cohort: the REGICOR study
Introduction and objectives To determine the dose-response association between current and past leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), total and at different intensities, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality ...
Determinants and outcomes of physical activity in patients with COPD: a systematic review
Background The relationship between physical activity, disease severity, health status and prognosis in patients with COPD has not been systematically assessed. Our aim was to identify and summarise studies assessing ...
Effects of a combined community exercise program in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome : a randomized clinical trial
Physical activity is associated with a decreased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea and improved sleep efficiency. Studies on the effects of a comprehensive exercise program in a community setting remain limited. Our ...
Food biodiversity and total and cause-specific mortality in 9 European countries: an analysis of a prospective cohort study
Background Food biodiversity, encompassing the variety of plants, animals, and other organisms consumed as food and drink, has intrinsic potential to underpin diverse, nutritious diets and improve Earth system resilience. ...
Factors associated with serum ferritin levels and iron excess: results from the EPIC‑EurGast study
Purpose Excess iron is involved in the development of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. We aimed to describe the prevalence of excess iron and its determinants in ...
Association between beverage consumption and environmental sustainability in an adult population with metabolic syndrome
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 impact the environmental ...
Effects of low-load blood flow restriction training in healthy adult tendons: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective To systematically review the effects of low-load blood flow restriction training (LL-BFR) on healthy adult tendons. Design A systematic review with meta-analysis. Literature search Six electronic databases ...
Professional competences to promote healthy ageing across the lifespan: a scoping review
As societies age, the development of resources and strategies that foster healthy ageing from the beginning of life become increasingly important. Social and healthcare professionals are key agents in this process; ...
Body mass index and subfertility: multivariable regression and Mendelian randomization analyses in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study
STUDY QUESTION What is the association between BMI and subfertility? SUMMARY ANSWER We observed a J-shaped relationship between BMI and subfertility in both sexes, when using both a standard multivariable regression ...
Lack of pragmatic attitude of self-labelled pragmatic trials on manual therapy: a methodological review
Background Pragmatic randomized controlled trials are getting more interest to improve trials’ external validity. This study aimed to assess how pragmatic the design of the self-labelled pragmatic randomised controlled ...
Physical performance testing in post-COVID-19 patients: protocol for a systematic review of psychometric measurement properties
Introduction COVID-19 is an infectious disease that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. A large variety of exercise capacity tests are used for the evaluation of post-COVID-19 patients, but the psychometric properties ...
Socio-environmental correlates of physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Background: Study of the causes of the reduced levels of physical activity in patients with COPD has been scarce and limited to biological factors. Aim: To assess the relationship between novel socio-environmental ...
