A study led by the URV’s Human Nutrition Unit has associated the consumption of ultra-processed foods products with a greater risk of overweight, increased blood sugar and worse levels of good cholesterol
In this citizen science project the target population helps to design and evaluate activities that promote healthy aging
These are the results of a study by the URV and the IISPV on how the restrictions of the pandemic affected people with metabolic syndrome who took part in the Predimed-Plus project
The professor and director of the URV’s Human Nutrition Unit is among the most influential scientists in the world due to the impact of his research, according to the “Highly Cited Researchers 2021” list
Pilar Galán has helped create a bank of biological samples for understanding the mechanisms involved in the relationship between food and cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes and has launched food labels containing nutritional information.
The Predimed-Plus study shows that the Mediterranean diet has the capacity to modify our microbiota. This diet induces changes in our microbiota that could be related to its healthy effect
274 individual European scientists and 26 expert associations have signed a Call demanding the European Commission “to adopt Nutriscore as soon as possible in the interest of both consumers and public health”
URV researchers have studied the association between the metabolism of this molecule, choline, and the emergence of two cardicac pathologies: atrial fibrillation and cardiac insufficiency. These results may help to determine some biomarkers that predict certain cardiovascular diseases
Adding nuts to a Western‐style diet has an effect on its epigenetics. This research shows, for the first time, that there are regions in the sperm epigenome that respond to the diet, which would explain why diet can modulate male fertility
Is a systematic review and meta-analysis of all the studies published to date. These results suggest that overweight/obesity prevention should be considered at an early age to avoid deleterious effects on reproductive health
A newly identified “metabolic signature” can evaluate an individual’s adherence and metabolic response to the Mediterranean diet and help predict future risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to new research led by Harvard University with collaborators from the Broad Institute and Universitat Rovira i Virgili
The results of the PREDIMED study suggest that the most up-to-date recommendations of the international organisation World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research to maintain a healthy lifestyle reduce the risk of colorectal in older people with a high cardiovascular risk. The results of the study have been published in the “Journal of Clinical Medicine”
Researchers from the URV, the Universidad de Navarra and the CIBEROBN have analysed more than 90,000 patients over 30years

The finding is from a nutritional study carried out by researchers from the URV’s Human Nutrition Unit, which concludes that regular consumption of nuts by men who follow a western diet improves the quality of their orgasms and their sexual function
The results are from the Predimed-Plus study, and they have been obtained after monitoring for a year almost 2,000 patients suffering from overweight and the metabolic syndrome
This is the conclusion reached by researchers from the Human Nutrition Unit of the URV-IISPV after analyzing nearcly 3,000 articles
The list “Highly Cited Researchers 2018”, published by Clarivate Analytics, regards these URV professors as being among the most influential in the world because of the impact of their research
