Background West Nile Virus (WNV) exemplifies the complexities of managing vector-borne diseases, expanding globally due to human activities and ecological changes. Originating from Africa and transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, WNV is now reported across multiple continents. The aim of this study was to identify the environmental, ecological, and individual factors influencing WNV transmission. Methods An…
Aims Dicarbonyl compounds such as methylglyoxal (MGO), glyoxal (GO), and 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) are present in numerous foods. They are pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative, but their potential role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development has been scarcely studied. We explored associations between dietary dicarbonyls with fatal and non-fatal CVD. Methods and results We conducted a case-cohort analysis based…
Importance Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) has been associated with a lower incidence of cancer and reduced weight gain. These associations suggest a potential role for the MedDiet in lowering the risk of obesity-related cancers (ORCs). Obesity is a known risk factor for various cancers and shows an inverse association with MedDiet adherence. Objective …
The association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is well established, but its role in driving multimorbidity remains unclear. Multimorbidity, defined as the co-occurrence of more the one chronic condition, is linked to higher mortality and reduced quality of life. This study investigates the association between SEP and multimorbidity using data from the…
Aims Associations of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain controversial. We therefore aimed to investigate the prospective associations of objectively measured FAs with CVD, including incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, as well as CVD mortality. Methods and results Circulating FA concentrations expressed as the percentage of total FAs…
Background Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has been linked with higher risk of mortality. This multi-centre study investigated associations between food intake by degree of processing, using the Nova classification, and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Methods This study analyzed data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. All-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality due to…
The rising incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders has been associated with early-life exposure to environmental factors, particularly neurotoxicants like organophosphate compounds (OPCs), which can impact brain development and function. This study examined the relationship between prenatal exposure to OPCs and molecular biomarkers of neurotoxicity in cord blood from 398 mother-child pairs in the GENEIDA birth cohort…
Although the criteria that support reimbursement decisions for medicines are often set by legislation, as is the case in Spain, in many cases neither the definition nor the measurement methods for these criteria are provided. Our goal was to elicit the views of a large sample of Spanish technical specialists on how to evaluate each…
Background Multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) represent a significant global health concern and vary in specific settings. Spain reported several annual deaths attributed to MDR bacteria, mainly carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. Objectives We aimed to characterise the incidence and temporal trends of MDR bacterial infections or colonisations reported within the province of Granada (data from five hospitals), and to…
