We have finished with the research project entitled “Risk determinants of primary cardiovascular events” (ref . PI11/01791) and obtained funds for the research project entitled “PREDIMED+DM: Effect of a low- calorie Mediterranean diet and physical activity promotion in the prevention of type-2 diabetes in people with Metabolic Syndrome” (ref . PI14/00636) . According to our research line of characterization and monitoring of the dietary pattern of the population, the prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities, we have found interesting results: increased proportion of Balearic adults complying with the nutritional objectives during 2000-2010 (Salas et al . Nutrition 2014); higher average functional food and component intakes among adolescents with high adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (Ozen et al . PHN 2014); healthier food consumption patterns among the native Mediterranean adolescents than their peers from non-Mediterranean countries (Llull et al . J Immigr Minor Health 2014) . We also assessed the Metabolic Syndrome prevalence among the Northern Mexican adult population and found a high prevalence (54 .8%) among them that reached 73 .8% in obese subjects (Salas et al . PloS One 2014) . According to the other research lines related to physical activity and antioxidant defenses, we have developed a new chromatographic and enzymatic method to quantify plasma fatty acids (Martorell et al . Cromatographia 2014) . We have shown that functional foods consumption rich in omega-3 increase the availability of these fatty acids in plasma (Martorell et al . Food & Function 2014) and blood cells without increasing oxidative stress and even improving erythrocyte antioxidant defenses during training season among football players (Martorell et al . Lipids 2014) . We also studied the beneficial effects of omega-3 supplementation on mitochondrial antioxidant capacity (Capó et al . European Journal of Nutrition 2014; Martorell et al . Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism 2014) and plasma cytokine levels in immune cells (Capó et al . Cytokine 2014) .
