Evolution of smoking prevalence in Spain and its 17 autonomous regions (1987-2020)
CONCLUSIONS: The number of men and women smokers has decreased in Spain between 1987-2020. Different patterns of evolution of the prevalence of consumption are observed among the ARs, especially among women. This reinforces the need for policies adapted to more local contexts and that take into account the gender perspective.PMID:38184463 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2023.11.015 (Source: Medicina Clinica)

Impact of Mediterranean diet in lowering risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Nearly two-fifths of pregnant women were diagnosed with GDM while only one-fourth complied with a Mediterranean diet. The increase in the frequency of GDM should be carefully monitored. It may be useful to detect risky pregnant women at the time of the first diagnosis, to measure their glucose levels, and to give suggestions about the Mediterranean diet in the early period.PMID:38161077 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2023.11.010 (Source: Medicina Clinica)
