The evaluation of diet and its effect in the onset and progression of chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease are the neural axis of the research taking place in the Unit of Human Nutrition . During the past year, part of the group efforts have been focused on the analysis of the results of the PREDIMED Study, in particular, on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes . But mainly, the group has focused on the implementation of the PREDIMED PLUS Study, a collaborative study whose main objective is to evaluate the effect of intensive treatment on changes in lifestyle, including physical activity, hypocaloric Mediterranean diet and behavioral therapy on the prevention of cardiovascular disease .
Additionally, during 2014, the group has conducted other nutritional trials demonstrating the effect of pistachio intake on glucose metabolism and lipid profile and also evaluating the effect of bread enriched with GABA on improving blood pressure . Moreover, during the past year the group has been working in the design of the intervention study in the framework of the European Study SATIN . This project is aimed at demonstrating whether the control of satiety help in the maintenance of weight lost at long term, the fieldwork of the project is expected to start in 2015 . Finally, the research team, collaborating with other research groups, has participated in the development of a competitive project in Interciber call, which was approved later this year, and has participated in the development of several national guidelines and consensus .
