Relación entre dieta mediterránea, actividad física e índice de masa corporal en adolescentes de secundaria de dos pueblos de Granada

The objetive was evaluate the Adherence to Mediterranean Diet (AMD) in adolescents and the relationship with the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Physical Activity (PA). he study was realized with 209 adolescents (117 girls y 92 boys), between 12 and 18 years. he AMD was analysed through the KIDMED test and PA level was estimated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ short version. he height and weigth was measured of each gymnastics, calculating BMI. he 65,6%, of the total sample showed an optimal AMD with a BMI of 20.02 kg/m2 without sex diferences. However, the boys showed signiicantly bigger physical activity level than girls. No signiicant relationships were found between variables MD, PA, BMI and gender. he habits of the Spanish adolescents in the sample are healthy, presenting the most optimal AMD, normal values of BMI and in good level of PA.El objetivo fue evaluar la Adherencia a la Dieta Mediterránea (ADM) en adolescentes y su relación con el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y Actividad Física (AF). Participaron 209 estudiantes (117 chicas y 92 chicos) entre 12 y 18 años. Se analizó la ADM a través del test KIDMED y el grado de AF se estimó mediante el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física. Se midió la altura y el peso de cada adolescente, calculándose el IMC. El 65,6%, de la muestra total, mostró una óptima ADM con un IMC de 20,02 kg/m2 sin diferencias de sexos. Sin embargo, los chicos mostraron mayor nivel de AF que las chicas, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas. No se encontraron relaciones signiicativas entre las variables DM, AF, IMC y género. Los hábitos de los adolescentes españoles de la muestra son saludables, presentando la mayoría óptima ADM, valores normales del IMC y buen nivel de AF

Mindfulness-based program for anxiety and depression treatment in healthcare professionals: A pilot randomized controlled trial

In primary health care, the work environment can cause high levels of anxiety and depression, triggering relevant expert and individual change. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs reduce signs of anxiety and depression. The purpose of this sub-analysis of the total project, was to equate the effectiveness of the standard MBSR curriculum with the abbreviated version in minimizing anxiety and depression. This randomized controlled clinical trial enrolled 112 mentors and resident specialists from Family and Community Medicine and Nurses (FCMN), distributed across six teaching units (TU) of the Spanish National Health System (SNHS). Experimental group participants received a MBRS training (abbreviated/standard). Depression and anxiety levels were measured with the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale (GADS) at three different time periods during the analysis: before (pre-test) and after (post-test) participation, as well as 3 months after the completion of intervention. Taking into account the pre-test scores as the covariate, an adjusted analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed significant depletion in anxiety and depression in general (F (2.91) = 4.488; p = 0.014; ¿2 = 0.090) and depression in particular (F (2, 91) = 6.653; p = 0.002; ¿2 = 0.128 at the post-test visit, maintaining their effects for 3 months (F (2.79) = 3.031; p = 0.050; ¿2 = 0.071—F (2.79) = 2.874; p = 0.049; ¿2 = 0.068, respectively), which is associated with the use of a standard training program. The abbreviated training program did not have a significant effect on the level of anxiety and depression. The standard MBSR training program had a positive effect on anxiety and depression and promotes long-lasting effects in tutors and resident practitioners. New research is needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of abbreviated versions of training programs. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland
