Mediterranean food pattern and the primary prevention of chronic disease: recent developments
Abstract
Recent evidence supports the cardioprotective role of a Mediterranean food pattern. The major findings of the Greek and EPIC-Elderly cohort, the SUN study, the Medi-RIVAGE and the PREDIMED trials are reviewed. Definitive answers will come from ongoing primary prevention trials that assess clinical events as outcomes.

“The high rate of long living people and the low incidence of cardiovascular disease in many Mediterranean countries suggest the importance of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and olive oil (probably the main anti-aging food in this area).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
