The Mediterranean diet is inspired by the traditional eating habits of
countries such as Spain, Italy, and Southern Greece that border the
Mediterranean Sea. It emphasizes leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts,
legumes, whole grains, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), fish and seafood,
with only moderate consumption of poultry, eggs, and dairy, and limited
intake of red meats and sweets. It has demonstrated efficacy for both
primary and secondary CVD prevention, with a reduced risk of both
cardiovascular and all-cause mortality [10,20–22].
The Seven Countries Study was among the first to suggest cardiometabolic benefits of the Mediterranean diet. The study recruited
men aged 40–59 years from Yugoslavia, Italy, Greece, Finland,
Netherlands, Japan, and United States, and found countries with a
Mediterranean diet style-pattern reported a lower incidence of CHD and
the highest survival rates compared with non-Mediterranean regions
[23]. This was bolstered by another large cohort study of 22,043 adults
in Greece who completed a validated, food frequency questionnaire.
