Brief summary

BELINDA is a follow'up of subjects included 10 years ago in HELENA study which was a cross-sectional study carried out from 2006 to 2007 in more than 3500 adolescents aged from 12.5 to 17.5 years old through 10 Europeans towns from 9 countries. BELINDA main objective is to assess CV risk using PDAY score (Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth) during young adulthood (20 to 31 years) and analyze lifestyle risk factors from adolescence (12 to 18 years). This analyze may define new CV risk factors and risk population cluster.

Detailed description

BELINDA subjects from Lille, Ghent , Zaragoza and Roma will be re-tested using a part of HELENA test battery and some new evaluation criteria.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
PDAY score (Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth)one dayPDAY score is a composite score which will be calculated using adult data including Gender, HDL non cholesterol, HDL cholesterol. Glucose level, Blood pressure, Tobacco consumption and BMI.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Ratio total energy intake2 daysdata collected using HELENA-DIAT, an electronic dietary recall, data in kcal/d, data for recommended total energy intake will be collected using national reference chart.
ratio of dietary n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)2 daysdata collected using HELENA-DIAT, an electronic dietary recall, data in ratio calculated using a food composition data base. PUFA is expressed in mg/day daily intake.
consumption in dietary salt intake2 daysdata collected using HELENA-DIAT, an electronic dietary recall, data in mg/day daily intake calculated using a food composition data base.
Physical activity7 daysdata collected using a GT3X accelerometer data in daily counts/min
Diet Quality Index Score2 daysdata collected using HELENA-DIAT, an electronic dietary recall, data in DQI score unit. DQI score is ranking from 0 to 9 unit and is based on three basic principles for a healthy diet: quality; diversity; balance. Furthermore, the daily diet was divided into nine recommended food groups, namely (1) water, (2) bread and cereals, (3) grains and potatoes, (4) vegetables, (5) fruit, (6) milk products (7), cheese, (8) meat, fish, eggs and substitutes, and (9) fats and oils.
Ratio waist-to-hip1 daydata collected using anthropometric measurements, data in ratio. Data are expressed in centimeter
Fat mass1 daydata collected using anthropometric measurements, data in % of fat mass, expressed in kg
Education level1 daydata collected using a Socio-economic questionnaire, data in Education level 8 digits
Endurance1 daydata collected using Dr Leger Shuttle run test, data in VO2max ml/kg/min
