Filter by:The purpose of this observational study is to identify the dental and periodontal health issues, oral hygiene practices, and potential relationships between them by assessing the variables that may have an impact on them.The main questions its aims to answer are: Is there a relationship between compliance with the Mediterranean diet and periodontal status? Is there a relationship between physical activity and periodontal status?
At present, many literatures have confirmed that the Mediterranean diet has the effect of delaying cognitive degeneration in patients with mild cognitive impairment, and can also slow down the speed of brain atrophy. In addition to the highly respected Mediterranean diet every year, several years of foreign research have found The maintenance of oral hygiene also has a significant relationship with the decline of cognitive function. The intervention of "oral hygiene" is a new intervention method that has started in recent years. Oral health will affect the overall health status, physical function, diet and nutritional status of the elderly. In particular, older adults with poor oral health are more likely to suffer from mild cognitive impairment. The relationship between oral health and nutrition and overall health is inseparable. If the concept of healthy eating (Mediterranean diet) recognized by the public is used and oral health education is involved at the same time. To allow patients with mild cognitive impairment to maintain oral health care in daily life, and to increase the knowledge of the Mediterranean diet and try to follow the rules of the Mediterranean diet, whether there is a more significant impact on these patients.
Sexuality is integral to personality, influencing feelings, thoughts, actions, and physical and mental health. Female sexual dysfunction is a fairly common condition that covers four main areas: hypoactive sexual desire disorder, arousal disorder, orgasmic disorder, and sexual pain disorder. Although incidence and prevalence rates vary, it has been reported that women range between 30% and 50%. Male sexual dysfunction is not a single disease. Male sexual arousal refers to the entire process of sexual activity for men, including penile erection, penile penetration, ejaculation, and any obstruction in a single connection. It is a significant psychological distress for affected men, their sexual partners, and their health-related quality of life. Sexual dysfunctions are common among men of all ages and ethnic and cultural backgrounds. It is reported in the literature that 52% of men between the ages of 40-70 experience various degrees of sexual dysfunction. Cardiovascular disease, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome are risk factors for sexual dysfunction. Although the positive effects of adopting healthy lifestyle changes and dietary habits in reducing the risks of these diseases have been proven, few studies have evaluated the impact of these treatment approaches on sexual dysfunction. Studies evaluating the relationship between diet and erectile dysfunction have focused more on men with diabetes. Some small studies have also shown that lifestyle modification and weight loss interventions improve erectile dysfunction in men with significant cardiovascular risks. The same is valid for female sexual dysfunction. The Western diet and its components are indirectly associated with sexual morbidity. The Western diet has processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and high sodium and monounsaturated fat content, which have been widely linked to the development of MetS, obesity, and diabetes. These comorbidities are also risk factors for female sexual dysfunction as well. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the eating habits of obese and non-obese men and women and their sexual functions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the Archena Infancia Saludable project on adherence to MD and 24-h movement behaviors in schoolchildren
Energy Deficit Syndrome (RED-S) is the impairment of physiological functioning caused by relative energy deficiency and includes impaired metabolic rate, menstrual, endocrine, hematological, immunological, gastrointestinal, bone, psychological, developmental and cardiovascular function. Eighty-seven percent of athletes show at least one symptom related to RED-S, with a higher prevalence in women. Treatment of RED-S preferably involves a multidisciplinary team of health professionals to address the complex interaction of nutrition, training, body image and performance. The main objective is to prevent energy deficit syndrome in female athletes in the province of Alicante through different training and diet protocols using a virtual platform. A 12-week single-blind randomized clinical trial with an intervention period and a control period (RCT) is proposed. The sports federations of the most representative practices in the province of Alicante will be selected by randomized sampling. The female athletes will be randomly divided into 4 groups (control group; control group with free use of the virtual platform; intervention group with Mediterranean diet and physical exercise planning; intervention group with red fruits and physical exercise planning).
This is a controlled, randomized and multicentric clinical trial aimed at university students and performed at the Faculties of Medicine and Pharmacy at the University of Seville (Spain). Its objective is to evaluate the effect of an intervention based on the use of an information and communication technology (ICT) tool, specifically an application for mobile telephones (called e-12HR), in the improvement of adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
A physically active life with adequate and balanced nutrition is essential for a healthy life. Unhealthy diet and being physically inactive are among the common risk factors that need to be corrected in order to maintain and improve health. The Mediterranean diet, first described by Angel Keys, is rich in plant foods such as grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds and olives; The main source of added oils is olive oil; moderate-high consumption of fish and seafood, moderate-level consumption of eggs, poultry and dairy products, and low-level red meat; It is a nutrition model with moderate intake of wine / fermented beverages (such as turnip, grape juice). Preferring vegetable oils instead of animal fats, preferring fish instead of red meat consumption, preferring low-fat / fat-free milk and dairy products, limiting the intake of simple sugar and refined carbohydrates, fruit rich in fiber and antioxidants in the Mediterranean diet, which is shown as an example of healthy nutrition today. It is thought that this type of nutrition can prevent the formation of chronic diseases due to features such as increasing vegetable consumption. Determining the nutritional status and physical activity levels of individuals and their associated health outcomes; It is very important in terms of determining the current situation and determining the priority problems that need to be solved.
Periodontitis is a biofilm-mediated chronic inflammatory disease with a multi-factorial etiology; it belongs to the group of diseases classified as "Non-communicable Diseases" (NCDs). According to the results of the Global Burden of Disease Study of 2017, it is the sixth most prevalent disease worldwide and it constitutes a heavy burden on health costs. Risk factors for such disease include non-modifiable risk factors, i.e. familiarity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, as well as modifiable risk factors, i.e. diet, stress and low physical exercise. Given the significant impact of oral health on the quality of life and overall well being of the individual, many studies investigated the importance of risk factors for oral health. In particular, there is some evidence that more severe manifestations of periodontitis are associated with lower physical activity (De Oliveira Ferreira et al., 2019), poor sleep quality (Karaaslan & Dikilitaş, 2019) and more perceived stress (Coelho et al., 2020). With regards to diet, despite the high number of studies demonstrating an anti-inflammatory effect of the Mediterranean Diet, no study has ever investigated the adherence to Mediterranean Dieta to the oral health status. From a methodological standpoint, investigations regarding environmental factors are mainly carried out through questionnaires administration, whose validity and reproducibility had been previously demonstrated. The novelty introduced by the present study would be a complete analysis of the effects of lifestyles (diet, sleep quality, physical exercise, perceived stress) on the periodontal status of the individual.
Treatment for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is through lifestyle modification consisting of caloric restriction and exercise, with an emphasis on weight loss. Unfortunately, the success and longevity of lifestyle changes that focus on weight loss, are poor in children. The dietary recommendation of calorie restriction alone may not be optimal in a pediatric population for multiple reasons including changes in hormonal milieu, growth velocity, and decreased bone mineral density that occur with significant weight loss. Mediterranean Diet (MD) is based on the high intake of extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, fruits, cereals, nuts and legumes; moderate intakes of fish and other meats, dairy products and red wine and low intakes of eggs and sweets. So, it provides a large amount of monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vegetable proteins, fibre and antioxidants; and low amounts of sugar, cholesterol and saturated fats. It offers a lot of choice in food selection, and well tolerated, and many people can adhere to it over the long term. The investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of a MD vs. low fat diet on changes in hepatic steatosis, aminotransferases, and anthropometric measurements among obese children with NAFLD
The diseases derived from Metabolic Syndrome caused 75% of the total deaths. It is more profitable to invest in prevention than in the treatment of most cardiovascular diseases. Several institutions consider prevention as one of the main priorities in public health. Patients with Metabolic Syndrome, undergoing Mediterranean diet and exercise program, will have lower fat mass, greater lean mass and muscle strength; in addition to the lower expression of proinflammatory biomarkers, compared to those subjected to standard diet and exercise. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the changes in body composition and cardiovascular risk in the population with metabolic syndrome undergoing a Mediterranean diet program and / or controlled physical activity. Design: Experimental, longitudinal design, controlled clinical trial, randomized. Population with Metabolic Syndrome in which the effect of Mediterranean diet and / or controlled physical activity will be compared on anthropometric parameters, body composition, cardiometabolic risk and plasma biomarkers.
