Consumer‐led approach to adapt a food‐odors emotional lexicon for the Spanish population: A tool for designing the scent of food spaces

BACKGROUND Problem phone use is a growing concern in most societies, being associated to social and health problems in a similar way to other behavioral addictions. However, both, its prevalence and its nature as a behavioral disorder are not well described nor understood. More over it is not universally recognized yet as a clinical entity that deserves health-oriented interventions. OBJECTIVE In this study, both, an evaluation of cell phone craving and problematic cell phone use among the Spanish population was carried out. Our initial hypothesis is that both problematic cell phone use and cravings have increased in the last 5 years. METHODS Methods We used our adaptation of the original Mobile Phone Problematic Use Scale (MPPUS) as well as the Mobile Phone Addiction Craving Scale (MPACS) A total of 1,612 online interviews were conducted in 17 autonomous communities in the Spanish territory, with a global and specific analysis by gender, age, profession, education level and population center size. RESULTS The results indicate that the prevalence of problematic cell phone use in Spain is currently 4.8%, with 14.8% of users who abuse and are at risk of dependence and lack of control. In total, 19.6% of the population currently has mobile device use issues. These results do not differ significantly from those obtained in our previous investigation; in contrast, the level of craving increased significant. Both in the prevalence of problematic cell phone use and in craving, the highest incidence is observed for people between 16 and 35 years old, students, and users without education or basic education and in urban centers. There are no differences between genders. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, the present study confirms that prevalence of problem phone use remained high in the Spanish Population, despite the rising concerns around its unhealthy consequences. In addition, we confirmed an increase in cell phone craving scores, indicating that technological dependence and need is increasing every day. CLINICALTRIAL The present study is not an intervention study so no Trial Registration was requested

Purpose: To identify the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CFH, ARMS2, HTRA1, CFB, C2, and C3 genes and exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a Spanish population. Methods: In 187 exudative AMD patients and 196 healthy controls (61% women, mean age 75 years), 12 SNPs as risk factors for AMD in CFH (rs1410996, rs1061170, r380390), ARMS2 (rs10490924, rs10490923), HTRA1 (rs11200638), CFB (rs641153), C2 (rs547154, rs9332739), and C3 (rs147859257, rs2230199, rs1047286) genes were analyzed. Results: The G allele was the most frequent in CFH gene (rs1410996) with a 7-fold increased risk of AMD (OR 7.69, 95% CI 3.17–18.69), whereas carriers of C allele in CFH (rs1061170) showed a 3-fold increased risk for AMD (OR 3.22, 95% CI 1.93–5.40). In CFH (rs380390), the presence of G allele increased the risk for AMD by 2-fold (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.47–4.30). In ARMS2 (rs10490924), the T-allele was associated with an almost 5-fold increased risk (OR 5.49, 95% CI 3.23–9.31). The A allele in HTRA1 (rs11200638) was more prevalent in AMD versus controls (OR 6.44, 95% CI 3.62–11.47). In C2 gene (rs9332739) the presence of C increased risk for AMD by 3-fold (OR 3.10, 95% CI 1.06–9.06). Conclusion: SNPs in CFH, ARMS2, HTRA1, and C2 genes were associated in our study with an increased risk for exudative AMD in Spanish patients.
