Exploring the interplay between emotional attitudes towards diabetes, eating behaviour and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Public Health Nutr
October 2024
Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between emotional attitudes towards diabetes, eating behaviour styles and glycaemic control in outpatients with type 2 diabetes.
Design: Observational study.
Setting: Endocrinology Division of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The present work describes the cumulative coverage curves by country of birth, sex, age, and area of residence of the adult population residing in the province of Reggio Emilia (Emilia-Romagna Region, Northern Italy).The analyses are stratified by country of birth into HDC (Highly Developed Country), mostly Italians, and HMPC (Highly Migration Pressure Country), as a proxy of migrant status, excluding deaths. Vaccinations carried out up to September 2022 and recorded in the information system were considered, including vaccinations performed outside the province.

- Preclinical research over the past 35 years has shown that glial cells, like astrocytes and microglia, play a critical role in brain health and diseases, impacting neurodegeneration and pain.
- Several potential drug targets have been identified, including receptors and enzymes involved in neuroinflammation, but translating these findings into clinical treatments faces significant challenges.
- The review will focus on the role of glial cells in human diseases, discussing findings from post-mortem studies and human cell models, as well as the potential for visualizing glial responses to neuroinflammation in patients.
Article Synopsis
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disease that causes chronic pain, significantly impacting patients' quality of life, especially in older populations.
- Chronic pain from OA is linked to emotional issues like anxiety and depression, which may be tied to neuroinflammation in the nervous system.
- Research using the MIA model in rodents shows that neuroinflammation could be a key factor in both OA-related pain and mood disorders, suggesting potential new treatment targets involving specific cells and molecules.
Objective: The Wheel of Cardiovascular Health Diet was recently elaborated based on current nutritional recommendations for healthy eating and was made for person-centered nutritional counseling, thus it may be an interesting tool to improve food awareness. However, its validity is yet to be tested. We hypothesized that the self-perception of patients diagnosed with chronic diseases, evaluated by the Wheel of Cardiovascular Health Diet, is satisfactory in assessing the quality of their diets, compared with the Healthy Eating Index-2020.
