Álvarez-Álvarez, L; Vitelli-Storelli, F; Rubín-García, M; Martín-Sánchez, V; García Fernández, C; Carvalho, C; Araújo, J; Ramos, EObjective: To estimate, in a cohort of young Portuguese adults, the environmental impact (greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, land use, energy used, acidification and potential eutrophication) of diet according to adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD). Methods: Data from 1554 participants of the Epidemiologic Health Investigation of Teenagers in Porto (EPITeen) were analysed. Food intake and MD adherence were de...
Disordered Eating Profiles in Adolescence to Early Adulthood and Future Cardiom...
Pereira, R; Araújo, J; Severo, M; Ramos, E; Oliveira, ABACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Evidence is scarce on the clustering patterns of disordered eating dimensions or symptoms and their effects on future cardiometabolic health. This study examines associations of disordered eating trajectory profiles (from 13 to 21 years), with BMI and related cardiometabolic features at ages 21, 24 and 27. METHODS: Participants are from the Epidemiological Health Investigation of Teen...
Assessing external exposome by implementing an Environmental Data Management Sy...
Tagliaferro, S; Maio, S; Pirona, F; Stanisci, I; Sarno, G; Silvi, P; Kermenidou, M; Papaioannou, N; Perchard, R; Prpic, I; Polanska, K; Jerzynska, JDue to the increasing importance of exposome in environmental epidemiology, feasibility and usefulness of an Environmental Data Management System (EDMS) using Open Data was evaluated. The EDMS includes data from 10 European cities (Celje (Slovenia), Łódź (Poland), Manchester (UK), Palermo (Italy), Paris (France), Porto (Portugal), Regensburg (Germany), Reus (Spain), Rijeka (Croatia), Thessaloniki (Greece)) abou...
The relationship between social capital and inflammatory biomarkers in early ad...
Teixeira, P; Leão, T; Severo, M; Ramos, E; Fraga, SHigher levels of social capital (SC) are associated with better health status. However, there is little evidence of the impact of SC on biological health outcomes in the early ages. To identify the association between SC in adolescence and inflammation levels in early adulthood. Prospective study using data from 2435 participants from the Epidemiological Health Investigation of Teenagers in Porto cohort. SC was...
Depressive symptoms’ trajectories since adolescence and sleep quality in early ...
Gonçalves, M; Costa, AR; Ramos, E; Henriques, AObjectives: We aimed to estimate the association between depressive symptoms’ trajectories during adolescence and young adulthood and sleep quality in early adulthood. Methods: Data from 802 participants of the EPITeen study, evaluated at 13, 17 and 21 years of age, were analysed. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II and three trajectory classes from adolescence to adulthood ...
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysi...
Robinson, L; Roccaldo, R; Rodrigues, D; Rodriguez Perez, MdC; Rodríguez Villamizar, LA; Rodríguez, AY; Roggenbuck, U; Rohloff, P; Rohner, FBackground: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that...
Intrauterine Exposure to Phthalates and Child Growth in the First Year of Life:...
Ribeiro, C; Barros, H; Severo, M; Sakhi, AK; Thomsen, C; Ramos, EPhthalates are among the endocrine-disrupting compounds with higher widespread in daily life. Our objective was to assess the associations between maternal exposure to phthalates assessed by urinary phthalate metabolites and growth at birth and in the first year of life. The BiTwin cohort (479 single and 246 multiple pregnancies) was recruited as part of the HEALS project (2017–2019). Evaluations were conducted...
Socioeconomic factors and intergenerational differences in height of Portuguese...
Valente, B; Ramos, E; Araújo, JAverage adult height is an indicator of population health and a marker of socioeconomic inequalities. This study aimed to assess how socioeconomic differences affect intergenerational height increase between adults born in 1990 and their parents. Data from a population-based cohort of subjects born in 1990 (EPITeen) were analysed. Participants’ adult height was objectively measured. Parental height, education, ...
The emergence of socioeconomic inequalities in smoking during adolescence and e...
Alves, J; Perelman, J; Ramos, E; Kunst, AEBackground While it is known that educational inequalities in smoking start during early and middle adolescence, it is unknown how they further develop until adulthood. The aim of this article is to map, in the Portuguese context, how educational inequalities in smoking emerge from pre-adolescence until young adulthood. Methods This study used longitudinal data from the EPITeen Cohort, which recruited adolescen...
A lower energy intake contributes to a better cardiometabolic profile in adoles...
Costa, JP; Magalhães, V; Araújo, J; Ramos, ECaloric restriction has been associated with improved cardiometabolic health. Available data in humans are commonly based on short follow-up periods, specific diets, or popu-lation groups. We hypothesized that participants of a population-based cohort (Epidemio-logical Health Investigation of Teenagers in Porto) with a dietary pattern characterized by a lower energy intake during adolescence have a better cardi...
