in care homes for older peopleSiddiqi, N. y cols 2013Background and objectives: delirium is a distressing but potentially preventable condition common in older people in longterm care. It is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, functional decline, hospitalization and significant healthcare costs. Multicomponent interventions, addressing delirium risk factors, have been shown to reduce delirium by one-third in hospitals. It is not known whether this approach is also effective in long-term care. In previous work, we designed a bespoke delirium prevention intervention, called Stop Delirium! In preparation for a definitive trial of Stop Delirium, we sought to address key aspects of trial design for the particular circumstances of care homes. Design: a cluster randomized feasibility study with an embedded process evaluation. Setting and participants: residents of 14 care homes for older people in one metropolitan district in the UK. Intervention: Stop Delirium!: a 16-month-enhanced educational package to support care home staff to address key delirium risk factors. Control homes received usual care. Measurements: we collected data to determine the following: recruitment and attrition; delirium rates and variability between homes; feasibility of measuring delirium, resource use, quality of life, hospital admissions and falls; and intervention implementation and adherence. Results: two-thirds (215) of eligible care home residents were recruited. One-month delirium prevalence was 4.0% in intervention and 7.1% in control homes. Proposed outcome measurements were feasible, although our approach appeared to underestimate delirium. Health economic evaluation was feasible using routinely collected data. Conclusion: a definitive trial of delirium prevention in long-term care is needed but will require some further design modifications and pilot work.Fundacion de Educacion para la SaludLa Fundacion de Educacion para la Salud (FUNDADEPS) es una organizacion no lucrativa nacida en el ano 2003 en el seno del Hospital Clinico San Carlos de Madrid. FUNDADEPS es la continuadora de la Asociacion de Educacion para la Salud (ADEPS), una organizacion surgida en el Servicio de Medicina Preventiva de ese mismo hospital en el ano 1985 que fue pionera en el desarrollo de la Educacion para la Salud en Espana. FUNDADEPS tiene como finalidad fomentar la salud a traves de la promocion de la salud, la educacion para la salud y la investigacion cientifica y tecnica, aumentando la calidad de vida de la ciudadania por medio de la Cultura de la Salud.A Comparison between BMI, Waist Circumference, and Waist-To-Height Ratio for Identifying Cardio-Metabolic Risk in Children and AdolescentsLuis B. Sardinha, Diana A. Santos, Analiza M. Silva, Anders Grntved, Lars B. Andersen, Ulf Ekelund 2016Background There is controversial evidence on the associations between anthropometric measures with clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in pediatric ages. We aimed to examine the associations between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-toheight ratio (WHtR) with clustered cardiometabolic risk factors and to determine whether these anthropometric variables can be used to discriminate individuals with increased cardiometabolic risk (increased clustered triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and HOMA-IR). Methods The study sample of 4255 (2191 girls and 2064 boys) participants (817 years) was derived from pooled cross-sectional data comprising five studies. Outcomes included a continuous cardiometabolic risk factor z-score
