Mediterranean diet reduces cardiovascular events.

摘要

In a high-risk population, a Mediterranean diet, supplemented with either nuts or olive oil, reduces the likelihood of a composite outcome of cardiovascular events or death over a five-year follow-up period (number needed to treat = 70). The relative risk reduction is approximately 30%. This is the strongest evidence yet to support any particular approach to diet. Best of all, what's not to like about seafood, red wine, paella, nuts, fresh fruit, and chicken? (Level of Evidence = lb)
