• Resumen

  • Several epidemiological studies and some intervention trials suggest that the traditional Mediterranean diet (the dietary pattern characteristic of the Mediterranean countries in the 1960s) may protect against chronic diseases and mortality. The most significant features attributed to this pattern are a high intake of vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and olive oil; a moderate-to-high intake of fish; a low-tomoderate intake of some dairy products; a low intake of meat and saturated fatty acids, and a regular but prudent intake of wine. In recent years, however, food habits in the Mediterranean countries have tended to move towards the patterns typical of the northern countries.
