Spanish National Registry of Paediatric Coeliac Disease: Changes in the Clinical Presentation in the 21st Century.

Objectives: Over the last several decades, there has been a tendency towards a predominance of less symptomatic forms of coeliac disease (CD) and an increase in the patient age at diagnosis. This study aimed to assess the clinical presentation and diagnostic process of paediatric CD in Spain.

Methods: A nationwide prospective, observational, multicentre registry of new paediatric CD cases was conducted from January 2011 to June 2017.

[Nutritional Study in Spanish Pediatric Population (EsNuPI)].

Introduction: promoting healthy lifestyles already from the pediatric age for prevention of diseases at a short, mid and long-term is compulsory worldwide. Objectives: to know eating patterns and dietary habits, physical activity and sedentary behaviours in urban Spanish children aged one to nine years old, no vegan, by evaluating the differences between standard milk consumers (RS) and milk formula (AMS). Methods: prospective, observational, cross-sectional study with 1,514 children.

[Exercise as medicine in chronic diseases during childhood and adolescence].

Physical activity (PA) and exercise improve the overall quality of life, as well as prevent the onset of diseases in healthy children and adolescents, and as an aid to treat prevalent chronic diseases in childhood. PA and exercise are like medicine, but sedentary lifestyle and inactivity cause disease. In this article, the existing scientific evidence in this field is reviewed and recommendations for professionals involved in child health are updated.

[Evaluation of food habits and physical activity in Galician students].

Introduction: obesity causes millions of deaths each year. Its high prevalence in children and adolescents from southern European countries, including Spain, is associated with the new food preferences and decreased physical activity. Objective: to evaluate diet quality and physical activity in Galician schoolchildren in order to assess if modifying the current intervention strategies in lifestyles is required.

Fructose malabsorption in asymptomatic children and in patients with functional chronic abdominal pain: a prospective comparative study.

The objective of this prospective cohort study was to compare fructose malabsorption in patients with functional chronic abdominal pain and in healthy children. The sample was divided into two groups: asymptomatic children and pain-predominant functional gastrointestinal disorders according to the Rome IV criteria. All children were tested for fructose malabsorption by a standardized breath hydrogen test.

[Atlantic diet. Nutrition and gastronomy in Galicia].

The diet of Galicia is the result of a perfect combination between the quality and diversity of the products of their lands and seas and a simple and healthy elaboration. To the benefits of the Galician products already known by the Celts, the Romans or the Early Medieval pilgrims have been added the inheritances received from the American shore of this ocean that we share, constituting the bases of the Atlantic diet. Galician food is characterized by an abundance of seasonal foods from plants (fruits, vegetables, potatoes, bread and cereals, nuts, chestnuts, honey and legumes), high consumption of fish and shellfish, moderate milk, veal meat fed exclusively with breast milk and pastures, olive oil, use of sauces with low energy load and high-quality fat and homemade desserts composed mainly of flour, eggs and nuts.

[The first 1000 days: an opportunity to reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases].

Growth and development are determined by genetic and environmental factors since the very early embryonic life. Long-term health risks, as obesity and other non-communicable diseases (NCD), could be programmed since these early stages. Early life, characterized by plasticity, is the ideal time to intervene and to prevent the risk of suffering a NCD (window of opportunity).

Study on the nutritional status and feeding habits in school-children in Madrid City (Spain) during the economic crisis.

Introduction: the recent economic and financial crisis has affected most Western countries, especially families of low socioeconomic classes. We speculate that worsening of socioeconomic condition associated with the crisis would increase obesity, mainly in disadvantaged families.

Materials And Methods: This is a multicenter descriptive and cross-sectional study. Twelve Spanish hospitals participated.

[VITAMIN D AND CHRONIC LUNG COLONIZATION IN PEDIATRIC AND YOUNG ADULTS CYSTIC FIBROSIS PATIENTS].

Introduction And Objectives: evaluate vitamin D status and its association with chronic lung colonisation in Cystic Fibrosis patients.

Material And Methods: descriptive cross-sectional multicenter study. From November 2012 to April 2014, at 12 national hospitals, 377 patients with Cystic Fibrosis were included.
