Gestational exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in relation to infant birth weight: a Bayesian analysis of the
HOME Study
Background: Pregnant women are exposed to a mixture of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Gestational EDC exposures may be associated with changes in fetal growth that elevates the risk for poor health later in life, but few studies have examined the health effects of simultaneous exposure to multiple chemicals. This study aimed to examine the association of gestational exposure to five chemical classes of potential EDCs: phthalates and bisphenol A, perflu...

Cardiovascular risk associated with high
sodium-containing drugs: A systematic review
Background
Excess dietary sodium is associated with increased blood pressure (BP). Some drugs
are associated with high sodium intake (in particular effervescent tablets), but the cardiovascular risk associated with such high sodium-containing drugs (HSCD) is largely underevaluated.
Objectives
To summarize the evidence for a potential cardiovascular risk associated with exposure to HSCD, and to highlight possible risk factors associated with this iatrogenic issue; in general and/or specific population...

Sedentary lifestyle is associated with
metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors
independent of physical activity
Background: Sedentary behavior is a main risk factor for cardiovascular
disease and mortality. Aim: To investigate the association between
sedentary behavior and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors.
Material and Methods: We assessed 322 participants aged between 18 to 65 years. Physical activity and sedentary behavior were measured with
accelerometers (Actigraph®). Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference,
percentage of body fat, diet and blood markers (glucose, ...

Olive oil intake and risk of cardiovascular disease
and mortality in the PREDIMED Study
Background: It is unknown whether individuals at high cardiovascular risk sustain a benefit in cardiovascular
disease from increased olive oil consumption. The aim was to assess the association between total olive oil intake,
its varieties (extra virgin and common olive oil) and the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a
Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk.
Methods: We included 7,216 men and women at high cardiovascular risk, aged 55 to 80 years, from the
PREvención con ...
