  • The Role of Smart Homes in Intelligent Homecare and Healthcare Environments
  • 2016
  • In: Ambient Assisted Living and Enhanced Living Environments. - : Elsevier Inc.. - 9780128052822 - 9780128051955 ; , s. 345-394
  • Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • The smart home concept offers a world of possibilities in the development of context-aware homes able to take intelligent decisions and respond autonomously according to the environmental situation at any moment. Artificial intelligence provides ad hoc concepts and techniques that support this view from a computational perspective. However, research on smart homes has traditionally prioritized network and hardware-based solutions. Thus, the ambient assisted living (AAL) paradigm has focused more on active ageing approaches aimed at building safer environments that seek to promote elderly people or people with disabilities benefiting from more independent living in their own homes. AAL provides important opportunities to deliver information and communication technology-based services that improve quality of life and personal autonomy, such as proactive monitoring of users and environments; smart control of physiological measures; detection of abnormal situations; and customization according to each user's needs and preferences. This chapter includes the main building blocks and their interrelationship that is required to create a sustainable and replicable people-centered smart home.

  • Folate and vitamin B-12 concentrations are associated with plasma DHA and EPA fatty acids in European adolescents : the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence (HELENA) study
  • 2017
  • In: British Journal of Nutrition. - : CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS. - 0007-1145 .- 1475-2662. ; 117:1, s. 124-133
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This study aimed to examine the association between vitamin B-6, folate and vitamin B-12 biomarkers and plasma fatty acids in European adolescents. A subsample from the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence study with valid data on B-vitamins and fatty acid blood parameters, and all the other covariates used in the analyses such as BMI, Diet Quality Index, education of the mother and physical activity assessed by a questionnaire, was selected resulting in 674 cases (43% males). B-vitamin biomarkers were measured by chromatography and immunoassay and fatty acids by enzymatic analyses. Linear mixed models elucidated the association between B-vitamins and fatty acid blood parameters (changes in fatty acid profiles according to change in 10 units of vitamin B biomarkers). DHA, EPA) and n-3 fatty acids showed positive associations with B-vitamin biomarkers, mainly with those corresponding to folate and vitamin B12. Contrarily, negative associations were found with n-6: n-3 ratio, trans-fatty acids and oleic: stearic ratio. With total homocysteine (tHcy), all the associations found with these parameters were opposite (for instance, an increase of 10 nmol/l in red blood cell folate or holotranscobalamin in females produces an increase of 15.85 mu mol/l of EPA (P value < 0.01), whereas an increase of 10 nmol/l of tHcy in males produces a decrease of 2.06 mu mol/l of DHA (P value < 0.05). Positive associations between B-vitamins and specific fatty acids might suggest underlying mechanisms between B-vitamins and CVD and it is worth the attention of public health policies.

  • Intake and dietary sources of haem and non-haem iron among European adolescents and their association with iron status and different lifestyle and socio-economic factors
  • 2013
  • In: European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0954-3007 .- 1476-5640. ; 67:7, s. 765-772
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Background/Objectives:Adolescents are at risk of iron deficiency because of their high iron requirements. The aims of this study were: (1) to assess iron intake, its determinants and its most important food sources and; (2) to evaluate the relation of iron intake and status in European adolescents. Subjects/Methods:Two non-consecutive 24-h recalls were completed by a computerised tool. The socio-demographic and socio-economic data were collected by a self-reported questionnaire. Weight and height were measured. A distinction was made between haem and non-haem iron.Results:The total iron intake was significantly higher among boys (13.8 mg/day; n=1077) than girls (11.0 mg/day; n=1253). About 97.3% of the boys and 87.8% of the girls met the estimated average requirement, and 72.4% of the boys and 13.7% of the girls met the recommendation for bio-available iron intake. The ratio of haem/non-haem iron intake was lower for girls than boys. Meat (19.2; 76%) and bread and rolls (12.6;3.9%) contributed most to total and haem iron intake. Bread and rolls (13.8%) and meat (10.8%) contributed most to non-haem iron intake. Age, sex and body mass index were associated with iron intake. Only red blood cell concentration was significantly negatively associated with total, haem and non-haem iron intake.Conclusion:Girls had lower iron intakes and ratio of haem/non-haem iron intake than boys. The main total iron and haem iron source was meat, while the main non-haem iron source was bread and rolls. Adolescent girls may be a group at risk for iron deficiency. Consequently, special attention and strategies are needed in order to improve iron intakes during adolescence.
