“…An incorrect reporting of leisure-time physical activity cannot be excluded. However, in this study the Minnesota Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire, validated in our population (Elosua et al, 1994(Elosua et al, , 2000, was administered by a trained interviewer in order to reduce this probability.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyse the relation between age and both dietary habits and leisure-time physical activity, and to determine nutrient inadequacy of aged groups in our population. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: A random sample of the 25-74-y-old population of Gerona, Spain. Subjects: A total of 838 men and 910 women were selected from among the general population according to the 1991 census. Outcome measures: Analysis of dietary habits, including amount and type of alcohol consumption, and detailed evaluation of leisure-time physical activity. Results: Nutrient densities of carbohydrates, vitamin B 1 , vitamin B 12 , vitamin C, vitamin E, folate, potassium, iron, magnesium, copper, and dietary fiber increased significantly (Po0.05) with age in both genders, whereas an inverse trend was observed for total fat, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, and sodium. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed a direct association of healthy dietary habits, characterized through a composite dietary score, with age after adjusting for several confounders both in men and women (Po0.001). This score was composed of folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, b-carotene, dietary fibre, cholesterol, saturated fatty acids, and sodium. In all, 29 and 10% of male and female subjects aged 65-74 y, respectively, reported inadequate intakes of six or more of 16 nutrients. Total leisure-time physical activity increased with age in men (Po0.002), and was not different among female age groups. Conclusion: Dietary behaviours and levels of physical activity spent during leisure time indicate a healthy lifestyle of the aged men and women in the present population. Nutrient inadequacy observed in some aged men and women, however, deserves particular intervention of health-care programmes for this growing part of our society.

“…Leisure-time physical activity Leisure-time physical activity was measured by the Minnesota leisure-time physical activity questionnaire that was previously validated for Spanish men and women (Elosua et al, 1994(Elosua et al, , 2000. In summary, the questionnaire was administrated by a trained interviewer.…”

“…Anthropometric measurements were performed by standard methods, as previously described (Martinez-Gonzalez et al 2012a). Physical activity was assessed with the validated Spanish version of the Minnesota Leisure-Time Physical Activity questionnaire and expressed in minutes at a given metabolic equivalent per day (MET-min/day) (Elosua et al 1994(Elosua et al , 2000.…”

Genotype patterns at CLU, CR1, PICALM and APOE, cognition and Mediterranean diet: the PREDIMED-NAVARRA trial

et al. 2014

The traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has shown beneficial effects on cognitive decline. Nevertheless, diet-gene interactions have been poorly evaluated. We aimed to investigate diet-gene interaction in the PREDIMED-NAVARRA randomized trial. A total of 522 participants (67 ± 6 years at baseline) enrolled in the PREDIMED-NAVARRA trial were randomly allocated to one of three diets: two MedDiets (supplemented with either extra-virgin olive oil or nuts) or a low-fat diet. They were evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) after 6.5 years of intervention. Subjects were genotyped for CR1-rs3818361, CLU-rs11136000, PICALM-rs3851179 and Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genes. We studied MedDietgene interactions for cognition and assessed the effect of the MedDiet on cognition across different genetic profiles. A significant interaction (p = 0.041) between CLUrs11136000 and the MedDiet intervention on the MMSE was found with a beneficial effect of MedDiet among carriers of the T minor allele (B = 0.97, 95 % CI 0.45-1.49). Similar effect was observed for CR1-rs3818361, but no significant interaction was observed (p = 0.335). For PICALM-rs3851179, the MedDiet intervention showed a beneficial effect in both genotype groups. No apparent interaction was found for the CDT between intervention and gene variants. Similarly, participants randomly allocated to MedDiet groups, with favorable 123Genes Nutr (2014) 9:393 DOI 10.1007/s12263-014-0393-7 profiles of CR1, CLU and PICALM genes, significantly improved CDT scores compared to controls with the same genetic profile. Cognitive performance was better for nonApoE4 and for ApoE4 carriers of MedDiet groups compared to controls, but for CDT performance, we only found statistical significant differences for non-ApoE4 carriers. A MedDiet intervention modulates the effect of genetic factors on cognition. The effect of MedDiet might be greater for subjects with a more favorable genetic profile.

Predictors of adherence to a Mediterranean-type diet in the PREDIMED trial

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Determinants of dietary changes obtained with a nutritional intervention promoting the Mediterranean diet have been rarely evaluated.Aim of the study: To identify predictors of higher success of an intervention aimed to increase adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) in individuals at high cardiovascular risk participating in a trial for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease: the PREDIMED (PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea) trial. Candidate predictors included demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, cardiovascular risk-factors and baseline dietary habits.Methods: 1048 asymptomatic subjects aged 55-80 years allocated to the active intervention groups (subjects in the control group were excluded). Participants' characteristics were assessed at baseline among subjects. Dietary change were evaluated after 12 months. Main Outcome measures were: attained changes in 5 dietary goals: increases in 1) fruit consumption; 2) vegetable consumption, 3) monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)/ saturated fatty acid (SFA) ratio, and decreases in 4) sweets and pastries consumption, 5) and meat consumption. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations between the candidate predictors and likelihood of attaining optimum dietary change (improved adherence to a MeDiet).Results: Among men, positive changes toward better compliance with the MeDiet were more frequent among non-diabetics, and among those with worse dietary habits at baseline (higher consumption of meat, higher SFA intake, lower consumption of fruit and vegetables). Among women, marital status (married) and worse baseline dietary habits (high in meats, low in fruits and vegetables) were the strongest predictors of success in improving adherence to the MeDiet.Conclusions/ applications: Some participant characteristics (marital status, and baseline dietary habits) could contribute to predicting the likelihood of achieving dietary goals in interventions aimed to improve adherence to a MeDiet and may be useful for promoting individualized long-term dietary changes and improving the effectiveness of dietary counseling.
