The Southern European Atlantic Diet and all-cause mortality in older adults
Carballo-Casla, A; Ortolá, R; García-Esquinas, E; Oliveira, A; Sotos-Prieto, M; Lopes, C; Lopez-Garcia, E; Rodríguez-Artalejo, FBackground The Southern European Atlantic Diet (SEAD) is the traditional diet of Northern Portugal and North-Western Spain. Higher adherence to the SEAD has been associated with lower levels of some cardiovascular risk factors and reduced risk for myocardial infarction, but whether this translates into lower all-cause mortality is uncertain. We hence examined the association between adherence to the SEAD and al...
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-ba...
Zhou, B; Lu, Y; Hajifathalian, K; Bentham, J; Di Cesare, M; Danaei, G; Bixby, H; Cowan, MJ; Ali, MK; Taddei, C.; Lo, WC; Ninomiya, T; Noale, M; Noto, DBackground One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are aff ecting the number of adults with diabetes. Method...

Danaei, G; Fahimi, S; Lu, Y; Zhou, B; Hajifathalian, K; Di Cesare, M; Lo, WC; Reis-Santos, B; Cowan, MJ; Shaw, JE; Bentham, J; Mohammad, K; Mohan, VBackground Diabetes has been defi ned on the basis of diff erent biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the eff ect of diff erent diagnostic defi nitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classifi cation of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a po...
Major Habitual Dietary Patterns Are Associated with Acute Myocardial Infarction...
Oliveira, A; Rodríguez-Artalejo, F; Gaio, R; Santos, AC; Ramos, E; Lopes, CBackground: Most dietary pattern analyses in southern Europe have relied on a priori food approaches using Mediterranean-style diet indexes. These methods may not reflect the current population's food consumption. Objective: To assess the association of a posteriori dietary patterns with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiovascular risk markers in the general adult population of Porto, Portugal. Design:...
Body fat distribution and C-reactive protein - a principal component analysis
Oliveira, A; Lopes, C; Severo, M; Rodríguez-Artalejo, F; Barros, HBackground and Aims: To assess, using principal component analysis, the independent associations of general, central and peripheral subcutaneous fat with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), in men and women from the general population. Methods and results: We studied 833 women and 486 men, randomly selected from the non-institutionalized population of Porto, Portugal, with information on hs-CRP (≤10. ...
Alcohol intake and systemic markers of inflammation-Shape of the association ac...
Oliveira, A; Rodríguez-Artalejo, F; Lopes, CAims: To assess the association of alcohol intake with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), uric acid and leukocyte count in blood, and whether sex and body mass index (BMI) modify these associations. Methods: Individuals aged ≥18 years were randomly selected from the population of Porto, Portugal (70% of participation). A total of 840 women and 490 men with reliable information on inflammatory markers...
Adherence to the Southern European Atlantic Diet and occurrence of nonfatal acu...
Oliveira, A; Lopes, C; Rodríguez-Artalejo, FBackground: The Southern European Atlantic Diet (SEAD) is the traditional diet in northern Portugal and Galicia, a region in northwest Spain. Objective: The objective was to examine the association between adherence to the SEAD and the occurrence of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Design: This was a population-based case-control study in Porto, Portugal. Cases were patients aged ≥18 y who were hospi...
