The risk of incident depression when assessed with the Lifestyle and Well-Being Index.

OBJECTIVES: Novel findings indicate links between unhealthy lifestyles and depression based on active inflammatory processes. Thus, identifying participants with poor habits could reveal differences in trends of incident depression. This study aimed to examine the association between an objective lifestyle assessment, as measured by the Lifestyle and Well-Being Index (LWB-I), and incident depression in healthy participants of a Spanish cohort. STUDY DESIGN: This was a longitudinal analysis of a subsample of 10,063 participants from the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra cohort study. METHODS: Group comparisons and Cox proportional hazard models were conducted using the LWB-I, which categorizes the sample into groups with healthy and unhealthy lifestyles and well-being. The main outcome was incident depression as well as secondary outcomes. RESULTS: Those classified to the transition category of LWB-I were associated with a hazard ratio of 0.67 (95% confidence interval: 0.52-0.87), and those in the excellent category showed a hazard ratio of 0.44 (95% confidence interval: 0.33-0.58), which in both groups reflects a significantly lower risk of incident depression compared with the group including those classified in the poor LWB-I level. Moreover, the available sensitivity analyses concerning time of depression diagnosis or antidepressant treatment further supported the role of nutrition and physical activity on incident depression. Interestingly, throughout the follow-up, incident depression was inversely related to healthier daily habits as measured by the LWB-I. CONCLUSIONS: A global assessment of lifestyles such as the LWB-I provides valuable insight into the complex relationship between lifestyle factors and their link to depression risk.

[Surgical treatment of supracondylar fractures in pediatric patients using AO external lateral fixation technique]. / Tratamiento quirúrgico de fracturas supracondíleas en pacientes pediátricos mediante técnica de fijación externa lateral AO.

INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the distal humerus represent 70% of fractures in children under 12 years. It is necessary to have knowledge about this type of injury, the therapeutic alternatives, and the possible complications. OBJECTIVE: To assess the functional results of the AO fixation technique in the management of humeral supracondylar fractures in pediatric patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients admitted to the pediatric orthopedics service were surgically treated by external fixation AO method, from July 1 to December 31, 2018. The data were obtained by monitoring from admission of patients until discharge from the outpatient clinic performing the functional clinical evaluation using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score to evaluate the function of the elbow. RESULTS: We included 5 patients with humeral supracondylar fracture treated by external fixation AO method, with an average age of 6 years. Of the 5 cases, 3 (60%) suffered the right upper limb injury and 2 (40%) the upper left limb, 1 patient (20%) had partial radial nerve injury. The score obtained on the Mayo Elbow Performance Score was 80 points on average. CONCLUSIONS: The functional result of the treatment of humeral supracondylar fractures by means of AO external fixation technique, shows good results, positioning it as an alternative therapeutic treatment option.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las fracturas del húmero distal representan 70% de las fracturas en niños menores de 12 años. Es necesario contar con conocimientos sobre este tipo de lesiones, las alternativas terapéuticas existentes y las posibles complicaciones. OBJETIVO: Valorar los resultados funcionales de la técnica de fijación AO en el manejo de fracturas supracondíleas humerales en pacientes pediátricos. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se incluyeron los casos ingresados en el Servicio de Ortopedia Pediátrica intervenidos quirúrgicamente mediante fijación externa método AO, del 1o de Julio al 31 de Diciembre de 2018. Los datos fueron obtenidos mediante el seguimiento desde el ingreso hasta su alta de la consulta externa, realizando la evaluación clínica funcional mediante la Mayo Elbow Performance Score para evaluar la función del codo. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron cinco casos con fractura supracondílea humeral tratados mediante fijación externa método AO, con un promedio de edad de seis años. De los cinco casos, tres (60%) sufrieron la lesión en miembro superior derecho y dos (40%) en miembro superior izquierdo, un paciente (20%) presentó lesión parcial del nervio radial. El puntaje obtenido en la escala Mayo Elbow Performance Score fue de 80 puntos en promedio. CONCLUSIONES: El tratamiento de las fracturas supracondíleas humerales mediante técnica de fijación externa AO muestra resultados buenos, posicionándolo como una opción terapéutica alternativa de tratamiento.
