- Brief Summary
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
- Detailed Description
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).

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.

Name Time Method Pulse wave velocity 1 year Measurement by SphygmoCor (meters/seg)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Videogames use 1 year 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.
Cardio Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) 1 year It will be determined using the Vasera VS-2000® device (not units)
Internet use 1 year 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.
Excessive alcohol consumption 1 year 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)
Pathological gambling 1 year 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.
Waist and hip circumference 1 year The waist and hip circumference shall be measured with a tape measure (cm).
Problem drug use 1 year Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-20), 20 questions with dichotomous answers (Yes/No) and a cut-off point of 5
Compulsive use of mobile phones 1 year 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
Use or abuse of alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs 1 year 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).
Nicotine dependence 1 year Fagerström test. With six questions it classifies into mild (less than 4 points), moderate (4-6 points) or severe dependence (more than 7 points).
Body composition 1 year The analysis of body composition shall be carried out with the impedance-meter Inbody 230® (kg).
Accelerometer 1 year Physical activity measurement using actigraph GTX3 accelerometer for 7 days (counts)
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet 1 year 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)
Sleep quality and quantity 1 year 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)
Sleep disruption 1 year The Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test, which assesses the likelihood of sleep disruption (points)
International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) 1 year Physical activity measurement using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (min/day)
