Introduction: Iodine deficiency is a public health problem, and iodine nutritional status should therefore be regularly measured.
Objective: To ascertain iodine nutritional status in Asturias and its relation to use of iodized salt and to other sociodemographic and nutritional parameters.
Material And Methods: A descriptive, observational study was conducted in a random sample of schoolchildren aged 5 to 14 years, in whom urinary iodine levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography.
Objective: Modifications in lifestyle, diet and certain clinical events are major contributors for the high prevalence of obesity. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with weight gain in a population of Spanish adults.
Design: The study was undertaken in two population-based cohorts from the north and the south of Spain (baseline and after 6 years).
Aim: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and the 2-h post-challenge plasma glucose (2hPG) are commonly used to identify those at risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the role of HbA(1c) in this prediction has still not been ascertained.
Methods: The Asturias study is a prospective population-based survey of diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors.
Introduction And Objectives: Although type-2 diabetes is a well-known cause of death, the mortality associated with undiagnosed diabetes and early-stage dysglycemia has not been clearly determined.
Methods: This study included 1015 individuals aged 30-75 years who took part in the first phase of the Asturias study (1998-1999). Participants completed a questionnaire and underwent a physical examination and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
