Article Synopsis
- Hypertension significantly raises the risk of kidney and cardiovascular events (K/CVEs) and mortality, particularly for individuals diagnosed before age 55.
- A study involving over 71,000 patients was conducted from 2007 to 2018 in Madrid, comparing newly diagnosed hypertensive patients to a matched control group without hypertension.
- Findings indicate that younger individuals face much higher risks, with hazard ratios reflecting increased danger of K/CVEs related to the age at which hypertension is diagnosed.
Article Synopsis
- Toxic oil syndrome, a disease linked to contaminated rapeseed oil ingested in 1981, shows a higher prevalence of chronic diseases among affected individuals compared to a matched reference group.
- In a study of 3,527 patients, those with toxic oil syndrome were found to have significantly higher rates of multimorbidity and conditions like diabetes, complicated hypertension, heart attack, depression, and asthma.
- Interestingly, the same patients exhibited lower prevalence of anxiety and low back pain, suggesting a complex relationship between toxic oil syndrome and various health issues.

We examined the association between country of birth and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence in Andean immigrant population relative to Spanish-natives; and whether this association varied by age, sex and length of residence.

The objectives of the study were to assess the effect of text message reminders on influenza vaccination uptake of patients with selected rare diseases and delayed vaccination, and to describe their characteristics.
Methods: Quasi-experimental pre-post intervention study performed along the 2016 influenza vaccination campaign in the Autonomous Community of Madrid.
We studied the association between neighborhood social and economic change and type 2 diabetes incidence in the city of Madrid (Spain). We followed 199,621 individuals living in 393 census tracts for diabetes incidence for 6 years using electronic health records, starting in 2009. We measured neighborhood social and economic change from 2005 to 2009 using a finite mixture model with 16 indicators that resulted in four types of neighborhood change.
