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 chemica...

Effects and Mechanisms of Fruit and Vegetable Juices
on Cardiovascular Diseases
Many studies have indicated that consumption of vegetables and fruits are positively related to lower incidence of several chronic noncommunicable diseases. Although composition of fruit and vegetable juices is different from that of the edible portion of fruits and vegetables, they contain polyphenols and vitamins from fruits and vegetables. Drinking vegetable and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 popula...
Hydroxytyrosol in the Prevention of the Metabolic
Syndrome and Related Disorders
Virgin olive oil (VOO) constitutes the main source of fat in the Mediterranean diet. VOO is rich in oleic acid, displaying health-promoting properties, but also contains minor bioactive components, especially phenolic compounds. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), the main polyphenol of olive oil, has been reported to be the most bioactive component. This review aims to compile ...
