Association of a DASH diet and magnetoencephalography in dementia-free adults with different risk levels of Alzheimer's disease.

This study explored how adherence to the DASH diet relates to electrophysiological measures in individuals at varying Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk due to family history (FH). There were 179 dementia-free subjects. DASH index was calculated, and participants were classified into different DASH adherence groups.

[Dietary strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention].

The present review aims to provide specific dietary guidelines based on scientific evidence to prevent the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In general, a high daily consumption of plants based food (whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts) is recommended compared to foods of animal origin, especially red and processed meats, moderate use of extra virgin olive oil as a culinary fat compared to other types of fats and oils, and low salt intake, especially from processed foods. Despite the scientific evidence and the nutritional education carried out in primary care, CVD continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide, which highlights the need to develop attractive and motivating approaches that enable the population to adhere definitively to healthy habits.

[Egg components involved in cognitive function].

Interest in the relationship between diet and cognitive function has increased in recent years. In this sense, eggs contain many essential nutrients that are also beneficial for cognitive function. Several studies have shown that moderate egg consumption not only does not increase cardiovascular risk but is positively associated with better cognitive performance and a lower risk of dementia.

[Evolution of critical nutrients (salt, sugars and saturated fats) in Spanish foods and beverages in the last 25 years].

Non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, etc.) are the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 71 % of global deaths. The risk factors for all of them are closely linked to lifestyle and in particular to diet.

[Role of diet in the prevention and development of Crohn's Disease].

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with frequent ileocolic location, although it can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by the development of skipped lesions and transmural inflammation and its incidence is increasing. The etiology and pathogenesis are related to genetic susceptibility, intestinal microbiota, dysbiosis, immunological abnormalities and environmental factors (tobacco use, NSAIDs, oral contraceptives and diet).
