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
Behavioural addictions. Brief Questionnaire of Pathological Gambling (CBJP), Lie/Bet scale, Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS), Smartphone Dependence and Addiction Scale (EDAS-18), Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Video Games (CERV). Drug addictions: Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST V3.0), Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-20), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and Fagerström test. Obesity and body composition: Weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference and Inbody 230®. Diet: Mediterranean Diet Adherence Questionnaire. Physical activity: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Actigraph GTX3 accelerometer and Marshall questionnaire. Analysis of vascular structure and function and target organ lesions. Pulse wave analysis (PWA) and femoral carotid pulse wave velocity (VOPcf) (Sphygmocor System). Cardio Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI), ankle-ankle pulse wave (VOPbt) and ankle-ankle index (ABI) (Vasera VS-2000®). Retinal vascular injury (TOPCON TRC NW 200). Cardiac lesion (General electric 5000). Kidney Injury: analytical variables. Brain Injury: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Vascular ageing (VOPcf and VOPbt). Other variables. Basal glycaemia, HbA1c. TSH, lipid profile, creatinine and creatinine albumin index and Vit D. Measurement of blood pressure and drug consumption.
