The aim is to evaluate the association between fruit and vegetable consumption, diet quality and lifestyle in an elderly Mediterranean population, considering both variety and the combination of quantity and variety (QV). Methods A cross-sectional analysis of 6647 participants (51.6% of males) was conducted in the framework of the PREDIMED-Plus study. A variety score was created as the sum of vegetables and/or fruits consumed at least once per month using food frequency questionnaires. Dietary Reference Intakes (EAR and IA values) were used to estimate the prevalence of inadequate intake of dietary fiber and micronutrients. Logistic regression models were performed to examine the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and not meeting the DRIs, by tertiles of fruit and vegetable variety and QV categories. Results Participants with higher fruit and vegetable variety score reported a significant higher intake of fiber, vitamins, minerals and flavonoids and were significantly more likely to be physically active and non-smoker. Besides, higher variety in fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with lower prevalence of having an inadequate intake of fiber [(0.13 (0.11–0.16)], two or more [(0.17 (0.14–0.21)], three or more [(0.15 (0.13–0.18)] and four or more [(0.11 (0.10–0.14)] micronutrients in our participants. Higher quantity and variety in fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with lower prevalence of having an inadequate intake of fiber [(0.05 (0.04–0.06)], two or more [(0.08 (0.06–0.10)], three or more [(0.08 (0.06–0.09)] and four or more [(0.06 (0.05–0.07)] micronutrients. Conclusion Greater variety in fruit and vegetable intake was associated with better nutrient adequacy, diet quality and healthier lifestyle in an elderly Mediterranean population.Item Prevalence of childhook overweight/obesity in Spain 1993-2011 and associated risk factors in 2011(Nutrición Hospitalaria, 2017) Ajejas Bazán, María Julia; Jiménez Trujillo, María Isabel; Wärnberg, Julia; Domínguez Fernández, Silvia; López De Andrés, Ana Isabel; Pérez Farinós, José NapoleónAbstract Introduction: Childhood obesity is a recognized public health problem. The present work reports the changing prevalence of childhood overweight/ obesity in Spanish boys and girls over the period 1993-2011, and examines the risk factors apparent in 2011. Methods: Children with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 25 were deemed overweight, and those with a BMI of ≥ 30 were deemed obese. Overweight and obesity was consistently more common among boys than among girls. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Spain increased over the study period. Conclusions: According to the 2011 data, children who undertook no physical activity, or whose parents/guardians had a low level of education, showed the highest prevalence of obesity.Item Factores asociados al sobrepeso y la obesidad infantil en España, según la última encuesta nacional de salud (2011)(Escola Anna Nery, 2018) Ajejas Bazán, María Julia; Sellan Soto, María del Carmen; Vázquez Sellán, Antonio; Díaz Martínez, María Luisa; Domínguez Fernández, Silvia; Evangelista Cabral. IvoneObjetivo: Describir los factores asociados al sobrepeso/obesidad en España según datos de la última Encuesta Nacional de Salud (2011). Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal en población infantil de 2 a 15 años. Participaron 3752 individuos (niños n=2007 y niñas n=1745). Muestreo aleatorio polietápico estratificado. Principales variables: sobrepeso; obesidad; sexo; nivel de estudios del progenitor; ingresos mensuales; horas de sueño; ejercicio físico; horas de uso de televisión y/u ordenador; desayuno diario; percepción ponderal de los progenitores. Los criterios diagnósticos fueron los estándares de OMS, definiéndose sobrepeso con +1SD y obesidad, +2SD. Resultados: Niños más obesos que niñas. Niños/as cuyos progenitores presentaban un nivel de estudios bajo, niños/as que no hicieron ningún ejercicio y cuyos progenitores ganaron menos que 900€ mensuales presentaron un mayor sobrepeso/obesidad. Conclusión: Niños/as con progenitores con bajo nivel de estudios y de ingresos presentaron mayor obesidad. Dormir las horas recomendadas y hacer actividad física disminuye la obesidad
