Food consumption based on the nutrient profile system underlying the Nutri-Score and renal function in older adults.

Background: The impact of the Nutri-Score labelling system on renal function is unknown.

Objective: To assess the association between food consumption based on the nutrient profile system underlying the Nutri-Score and renal function decline in older adults.

Methods: We used data from the Spain-based Seniors-ENRICA cohort, a study with 1312 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years recruited during 2008-2010 and followed up to December 2015.

The intake of flavonoids, stilbenes, and tyrosols, mainly consumed through red wine and virgin olive oil, is associated with lower carotid and femoral subclinical atherosclerosis and coronary calcium.

Purpose: It is suggested that polyphenols back the cardiovascular protection offered by the Mediterranean diet. This study evaluates the association of specific types of dietary polyphenols with prevalent subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged subjects.

Methods: Ultrasonography and TC were performed on 2318 men from the Aragon Workers Health Study, recruited between 2011 and 2014, to assess the presence of plaques in carotid and femoral arteries and coronary calcium.

High consumption of ultra-processed food may double the risk of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis: the Aragon Workers' Health Study (AWHS).

Background: Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption, which is increasing worldwide, has recently been associated with an increased risk of death and cardiovascular disease. We aimed to assess whether consumption of UPF is directly associated with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in middle-aged men.

Methods: A computed tomography scan was performed on 1876 men from the Aragon Workers' Health Study, recruited from January 2011 to December 2014, to assess coronary calcium.
