Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the association of fruit, vegetable, and pulses consumption with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.
Study Design: This prospective study included 66,933 individuals from three Spanish health surveys linked to the national death registry up to December 2022.
Methods: Adjusted Poisson regression models were used to analyze the data, categorizing fruit, vegetable and pulses intake according to Spanish dietary recommendations and using splines to examine non-linear relationships.
Background: Disability and chronic diseases are prevalent conditions associated with mortality, but little information is available on their potential synergistic effects.
Objective: This study aimed to describe additive interactions between disability and chronic diseases on mortality risk in middle-aged and older adults.
Methods: A representative cohort of 22,800 community-dwelling Spanish people aged 50 years or older were interviewed for disability with the Global Activity Limitation Indicator and specific chronic diseases in the 2011-12 and 2014 National Health Surveys and subsequently followed up for mortality.
Background: It is unknown whether growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is associated with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) and whether or not its association with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) changes according to CMP status.
Methods: In total, 1 957 randomly selected adults aged ≥65 years without prior CVD were followed up between 2015 and 2023. CMP was classified according to its intensity, frequency, and interference with daily activities.
Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of adherence to WCRF/AICR cancer prevention recommendations with health-related quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Health-EpiGEICAM study.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how following cancer prevention guidelines from the WCRF/AICR affects the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in breast cancer survivors over a long period, specifically comparing their status at diagnosis and 7-12 years later.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 406 breast cancer survivors, collecting information on lifestyle, diet, physical activity, and HRQL using a scoring system based on WCRF/AICR recommendations.
- - Results indicate that higher adherence to these cancer prevention guidelines is linked to slight improvements in the physical aspect of HRQL over time, while no significant change was found in the mental HRQL domain.
