OBJECTIVE Shift workers are known to have increased morbidity associated to wrong habits. In this study we have evaluated the nutritional status, food habits and physical activity in health shift workers. METHODS 207 permanent morning-shift workers and 210 shift workers (3-shift system) were

OBJECTIVE Assessment of relation between metabolic syndrome (MS) and Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence. METHODS Cross-sectional study. ATP III definition of MS was used. Adherence to MD was assessed with a Food Frequency Questionnaire. Intakes of cereal, fruit, legumes, vegetables, fish, nuts,

Blood samples were taken from the ventral coccygeal vein of 15 El Hierro giant lizards (Gallotia simonyi) (seven females and eight males), six La Gomera giant lizards (Gallotia bravoana) (four males and two females) and four Tenerife giant lizards (Gallotia intermedia) (two males and two females),

In Venezuela as in the Canary Islands (Spain), cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this research is to estimate the cardiovascular risk in the Canary Islands migrants living in Venezuela and participating in the study cohort "CDC of the Canary Islands

OBJECTIVE To estimate the incidence rate and risk factors for diabetes in the Canary Islands. METHODS A total of 5521 adults without diabetes were followed for a median of 3.5 years. Incident cases of diabetes were self-declared and validated in medical records. The following factors were assessed

In order to establish the prevalence of hypertension (according to both the JNC-V/ADA and the WHO/ISH criteria) in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), a group of 142 unselected young adults with IDDM from Northern Gran Canaria Island was cross-sectionally studied. The

OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence and the determinants of diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) in an adult Canarian population. METHODS Cross-sectional study. One thousand and thirty subjects aged 30-82 years were randomly selected. Participants completed a survey questionnaire

Holstein-Friesian steer beef production is renowned globally as a secondary product of the milk industry. Grass feeding is a common practice in raising Holstein steers because of its low cost. Furthermore, grass feeding is an alternative way to produce beef with a balanced n-6 to n-3 fatty acids

BACKGROUND As a fruit of complex interaction of factors, coronary atherosclerosis constitutes the first cause of death in the developed countries. METHODS With the aim of studying the risk factors of ischemic cardiopathy in a natural adult population (30-64 years) from Lanzarote (Canary Islands) a

OBJECTIVE A rise in plasma levels of the amino acid homocysteine (HCY) is a possible risk factor in cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms proposed to explain how HCY can increase the risk of vascular disease include its direct effect on the vascular endothelium and its role in increasing the risk

Despite the higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in populations residing at moderate altitudes, mortality in these populations is lower than in populations residing at low altitudes. To examine whether metabolic and hemodynamic differences can explain this apparent paradox, we performed a

OBJECTIVE The lower mortality from coronary ischemic disease in populations living at high altitude has been related to an increase of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol at altitude. Leptin has been proposed as a cardiovascular risk factor. We investigated whether leptin varies according to

The apolipoprotein E (apo E) polymorphism in a Spanish working population of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) was analyzed. The distribution of apo E alleles (epsilon 3, 0.850; epsilon 2, 0.075; epsilon 4, 0.075) and phenotypes (E3/3, 72.6%; E3/4, 13%; E3/2, 11.5%; E4/4, 0.8%; E2/2, 1.5%; E4/2,

OBJECTIVE To study whether the score proposed by the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism to define the protein energy wasting (PEW) syndrome has diagnostic validity in patients undergoing dialysis. METHODS Cross-sectional study including 468 prevalent hemodialysis patients from
