Components of Mediterranean diet can be individualized for goal attainment
MIAMI
— The benefits of a Mediterranean diet have been shown in numerous
studies, but more work must be done for patients to adopt it, according
to a presentation at the National Lipid Association Scientific sessions.
“Any eating pattern that we choose to start with should be individualized based on patient preferences, specific dyslipidemia and cultural considerations with nutrition counseling by a registered dietitian and follow-up for long-term adherence,” Mary N. Felando, MS, RDN, FNLA, consulting registered dietitian and nutritionist for a private practice in Seal Beach, California, said during the presentation. “It’s an easy sell: The Mediterranean diet ... has been No. 1 in U.S. News & World Report and also [is] the easiest to follow, because the best eating style for anyone is something that you can live with for a lifetime and also enjoy.”
Decades of research
Research on the benefits of a Mediterranean-style diet go back to the Seven Countries Study that was directed by Ancel Keys, MD, according to the presentation. It started in 1958 with the former Yugoslavia and then grew to include the Netherlands, United States, Finland, Greece, Japan and Italy. For nearly 3 decades, there was strong evidence that linked dietary intake to CVD and serum cholesterol. In addition, there were lower rates of CVD in participants who had a low saturated fat intake.
“It put the Mediterranean diet on the map,” Felando said during the presentation.
In another study published in JAMA Network Open in 2018, researchers found that there was 28% RR of CVD associated with a Mediterranean diet and was mostly explained by reductions in inflammation, glucose metabolism, insulin resistance and BMI.
The Mediterranean diet is one of three dietary patterns that have been recommended by the American Heart Association, the NLA and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for triglyceride reduction in patients with levels less than 500 mg/dL, according to the presentation.
Beyond the diet itself, the Mediterranean lifestyle also emphases
regular physical activity and conviviality, or the act of eating
together, according to the presentation.
“It’s thought that Americans spend about 11 minutes per meal, and in France, they spend 140 minutes eating and drinking in a day,” Felando said during the presentation. “There are differences about sitting down with people and sharing over food.”
Other major differences of the Mediterranean diet compared with other diets include factors such as seasonality of foods, weekly consumption of red or processed meats and smaller portion sizes based on frugality, according to the presentation.
