The influence of dietary habits on hepatic steatosis and cardiovascular health in children

Our hypothesis is that Mediterranean diet pattern and eating behaviours as having a healthy breakfast will prevent adiposity and its related comorbidities in children. In contrast, energy-dense diets based on the consumption of ultra-processed foods and SSB will negatively influence liver and cardiovascular health of overweight/obese children. Furthermore, healthy lifestyle programs based on nutritional education and physical activity promotion might improve dietary habits of children with overweight/obesity by increasing the awareness and knowledge between lifestyle and health of both children and parents.

Gure hipotesia PDM jarraitzeak eta modu osasungarrian gosaltzeak haurren gehiegizko gantz-pilaketa eta honi loturiko konplikazioak prebenituko lituzkeela da. Elikagai ultra-prozesatu eta azukredun edarien kontsumoan oinarritutako energetikoki dentsoak diren dietek, ordea, gainpisua/obesitatea duten haurren gibel osasuna eta osasun kardiobaskularrean modu negatiboan eragingo lukete. Gainera, hezkuntza nutrizionalean eta ariketa fisikoaren sustapenean oinarritutako bizi-ohituren esku-hartze programek bizi-ohiturak eta osasunaren arteko harremanaren inguruko kontzientzia eta ezagutza handituko luke haur zein gurasoetan. Ildo honetatik abiatuz, horrelako esku-hartze programek gainpisua/obesitatea duten haurren elikadura-ohiturak hobe litzakete.
