Exploring the path of Mediterranean diet on 10-year incidence of cardiovascular disease: The ATTICA study (2002-2012)

摘要

Background and aims: A Mediterranean diet has been associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, but the clinical and behavioral pathway has not been well understood and appreciated. The aim of this work was to explore the path between adherence to a Mediterranean-type diet, lifestyle behaviors, clinical status, and a 10-year incidence of CVD.
