About this study

This is a cross-sectional observational study whose objective is to analyse the relationship between behavioural addictions and drug addictions with obesity, physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, arterial stiffness and vascular ageing in young adults, since many of the lifestyles of adulthood are established early in life, and it is easier to prevent them before they start than to achieve their abandonment once they are established as unhealthy lifestyles

Young people without addictionBoth behavioural and drug addiction will be assessed. Participants with scores not consistent with an addiction will be included in this group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pulse wave velocity

    Measurement by SphygmoCor (meters/seg)

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Cardio Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI)

    It will be determined using the Vasera VS-2000® device (not units)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Pathological gambling

    Brief Questionnaire on Pathological Gambling (CBJP), with 4 dichotomous items (yes/no) referring to gambling habits, feelings of guilt, inability to give up gambling and use of household money for gambling. It is considered pathological from 2 points onwards. Also, Lie/Bet scale will also be used. It consists of two items, one of them referring to lying and the other to gambling, and will be considered problematic if both items are answered positively.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Internet use

    Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS). It consists of 14 questions with a 5-point Likert scale for the answer. The cut-off point is 28.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Compulsive use of mobile phones

    Smartphone Dependence and Addiction Scale (EDAS-18). It consists of 18 questions with a 5-point Likert scale for the answer. Average scores: No dependence: ≤ 2.23; dependence: between 2.24 and 3.5; addiction: ≥ 3,6

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Videogames use

    Video Game Related Experiences Questionnaire (VREQ), with two dimensions: negative consequences and avoidance. It consists of 17 questions with a 4-point Likert scale for the answer. The cut-off point is 26 points.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Use or abuse of alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs

    Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST V3.0), with 8 items in relation to the consumption of 9 substances, categorised into three risk levels: low (0-3 points), moderate (4-26 points) and high (more than 27 points).

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Problem drug use

    Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-20), 20 questions with dichotomous answers (Yes/No) and a cut-off point of 5

    Measured: 1 year

  8. Excessive alcohol consumption

    Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), with 10 questions, allows to identify: risky use (8-15 points), harmful use (16-19 points) and dependence (more than 20 points)

    Measured: 1 year

  9. Nicotine dependence

    Fagerström test. With six questions it classifies into mild (less than 4 points), moderate (4-6 points) or severe dependence (more than 7 points).

    Measured: 1 year

  10. Waist and hip circumference

    The waist and hip circumference shall be measured with a tape measure (cm).

    Measured: 1 year

  11. Body composition

    The analysis of body composition shall be carried out with the impedance-meter Inbody 230® (kg).

    Measured: 1 year

  12. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

    Physical activity measurement using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (min/day)

    Measured: 1 year

  13. Accelerometer

    Physical activity measurement using actigraph GTX3 accelerometer for 7 days (counts)

    Measured: 1 year

  14. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet

    Diet will be assessed with the Mediterranean Diet (MD) adherence questionnaire, developed in the PREDIMED project and consisting of 14 items with dichotomous responses.(points)

    Measured: 1 year

  15. Sleep quality and quantity

    Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) which assesses the quality of sleep disturbance in the last month. It is composed of 19 items. The cut-off point for poor sleep quality is 5 points or higher. (points)

    Measured: 1 year

  16. Sleep disruption

    The Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test, which assesses the likelihood of sleep disruption (points)

    Measured: 1 year

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pulse wave velocity (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
