Introduction: Physical activity (PA) and a ‘healthy’ diet are believed to have a beneficial role in both prevention and treatment of high blood pressure (BP) (Forman et al., 2009). However, the magnitude of the relationship of PA and dietary patterns with hypertension incidence remains to be clarified, especially in European populations with high prevalence of CVD, as in Portugal. The purpose of the present stu...
Background/Objectives: To evaluate longitudinally the role of physical activity (PA) (type and intensity) and diet (measured using DASH score, nutrients and food intake) in hypertension incidence. Subjects/Methods: As part of the EPIPorto study, 549 participants (X40 years), resident in Porto, Portugal, at risk of developing hypertension, were evaluated. Blood pressure (BP) measurements were obtained twice (199...
Background: No self-report method to measure different types and intensities of physical activity (PA) in adults has been tested in the Portuguese population. We assessed the validity, reproducibility and seasonal bias on past-year PA reporting. Subjects and methods: A sample of 953 Portuguese adults was evaluated between 2001 and 2003. A 4x7-day PA diary was used as a reference method to evaluate the validity ...
Introduction: there is a strong positive correlation between sodium chloride ingestion and hypertension. In industrialized countries the ingestion of carbonated and non-carbonated mineral water is an important source of calorie-free fluids. The mineral content of these waters has great variability with many brands containing high amounts of sodium. However, some mineral waters contain higher amounts of bicarbon...
The evaluation of nutrient intake is essential for the definition of health policies and as guidance for the establishment of factors, which could be involved in the occurrence of disease. The study aims to describe energy, nutrients and ethanol intake and the prevalence of inadequate macronutrient intake of Portuguese adults, by gender, age and education. We collected information on 2389 adults (61.6% of women...
Although Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI) was developed with adults, a large amount of research about eating disorders in adolescents is usually conducted with EDI. The clinical and research utility of this instrument would be improved by analysing its psychometric properties when used with younger people than those in the original standardization samples. The main objective of our study is to analyse the psych...
