“…The MedDi, primarily known as a food model, enhances the quality and safety of foods and is accepted worldwide including Australia [52] due to multiple pharmacological effects and health benefits including cardiovascular disease prevention in populations inclusive of individuals with diabetes [53]. Research has suggested that the primary benefits of MedDi is due to richness in unsaturated fat and biophenols from the core component olive [54].…”

The risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) increases with nonmodifiable conditions including age and lack of effective efficacious pharmacotherapy. During the past decades, the non-pharmacotherapy mode of treatment of dietary modification received extensive attention in AD research. In order to reduce the AD pathology and cognitive decline, various dietary patterns have been attempted including caloric restriction (CR), dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH), ketogenic diets (KD), Mediterranean diet (MedDi) and Mediterranean-DASH diet Intervention for Neurological Delay (MIND) diet. Higher adherence to the MedDi diet was associated with decreases in cardiovascular and neurological disorders including AD and related cognitive decline. However, another emerging healthy dietary pattern MIND diet has also been associated with slower rates of cognitive decline and significant reduction of AD rate. Olive serves as one of the building block components of MedDi and MIND diets and the exerted potential health beneficial might be suggested due to the presence of its bioactive constituents such as oleic acids and phenolic compounds (biophenols). A few trials using medical food showed an optimal result in presymptomatic or early stages of AD. The review supports the notion that MedDi and MIND diets display potential for maintaining the cognitive function as nonpharmacological agents against AD pathology and proposed preventative mechanism through the presence of olive biophenols and presents the gaps along with the future directions.

“…However, no significant change in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) or any other body composition parameter was observed [34]. Interestingly however, despite significant improvements in adherence to a MedDiet pattern [35] no significant effect of the MedDiet was observed on makers of inflammation, oxidative stress, lipids, glucose or blood pressure when compared against a low-fat diet control [34].…”

“…However, all RCTs in the present review demonstrated impressive and sustained adherence to a MedDiet intervention. Specifically, analysis of the AUSMED trial [34,35] demonstrated that patients with pre-existing CVD achieved high adherence to the MedDiet following a 6-month intervention (4.8 ± 2.7-point increase in MEDAS score from baseline; p < 0.001; 95% CI: 3.9–5.6). Similarly, after 4 months of the intervention, a cohort of community-dwelling older adults recruited into the MedLey study demonstrated a 3.4-point increase ( p < 0.001) in adherence to a MedDiet [37,38].…”

“…Perhaps most pertinently, the follow-up periods for the AUSMED [33], MedLey [36] and HELFIMED [50] studies all reported sustained high adherence to a MedDiet, even after the intervention and supportive adherence strategies had ceased. Specifically, in the AUSMED study [33], at the 12-month follow-up, adherence levels were sustained with 78% of participants achieving ‘high’ adherence scores compared with just 11.1% at baseline [35]. Similarly, at the 18-month follow-up of the MedLey study [36], adherence to a MedDiet amongst older adults remained unchanged with the consumption of EVOO, legumes, fish and vegetables all remaining higher relative to baseline levels [56].…”

Translation of a Mediterranean-Style Diet into the Australian Dietary Guidelines: A Nutritional, Ecological and Environmental Perspective

A Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has been widely investigated and promoted as one of the ‘healthiest’ dietary patterns with respect to reductions in chronic disease risk and longevity. Moreover, it also emphasizes a plant-based dietary pattern consistent with an environmentally sustainable healthy reference diet conveyed by the EAT-Lancet Commission report. Nevertheless, the MedDiet does not exclude, but rather moderates consumption of animal-based foods, and therefore has emerged as a dietary pattern that could address both health and environmental concerns. However, whether non-Mediterranean countries such as Australia can adhere to such dietary principles is less clear. In this narrative review, we present evidence from eight randomized control trials conducted in Australia which demonstrates impressive and sustained adherence to a MedDiet intervention. However, we also report heterogeneity in the dietary protocols and prescriptive interpretation of a MedDiet across all studies presented in this review, making interpretations of the efficacy and adherence challenging. Based on the observable health benefits, translating key dietary elements of a Mediterranean-style diet within the Australian population remains attractive. However, adapting or modernizing traditional dietary patterns to satisfy the population’s nutritional requirements and/or acceptability warrants further exploration.

“…La DM es utilizada con distintos fines en todos los ciclos de la vida y en condiciones fisiológicas, pero también patológicas, como medir o mejorar el rendimiento deportivo (35) , determinar sus efectos en la calidad de vida de personas mayores de 60 años (36) , control de algunas patologías crónicas como el cáncer colorrectal (37) o para el desarrollo de estudios longitudinales como, por ejemplo, el proyecto SUN (Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra, España) en graduados de educación superior (38) o el clásico Estudio PREDIMED (Prevención Primaria de la Enfermedad Cardiovascular con la Dieta Mediterránea), este último también implementado en población española (39) , aunque en los últimos años ha traspaso la zona del Mediterráneo, e investigó sus efectos en otras poblaciones, como el estudio AUSMED Heart Trial, realizado en Australia (40) . Todas estas investigaciones tienen en común el ser base en la prevención de las patologías cardiovasculares, tema central de los estudios realizados con este patrón alimentario (41) .…”

La necesidad de tomar acciones que fortalezcan la promoción y prevención en salud ha permitido redescubrir a las comidas tradicionales como una opción para una alimentación saludable. Las comidas típicas permiten la convergencia de aspectos dietéticos y nutricionales, pero también de elementos sociales y culturales que se asocian a un plato culinario, lo que enriquece y da identidad a una persona, familias y comunidades. Esta revisión teoriza y reflexiona sobre la relación entre comidas tradicionales y alimentación saludable con base en uno de los patrones alimentarios más reconocido a nivel global, que es la dieta mediterránea. Esta forma de alimentación reúne a los alimentos y a las preparaciones culinarias saludables, incentiva un estilo de vida que previene la aparición de enfermedades crónicas y tiene una connotación sociocultural, que se basa en su denominación como patrimonio gastronómico de la humanidad, que da identidad a los países del Mediterráneo. El trabajo presenta las características de este patrón alimentario y su empleo clásico como dieta saludable. Así mismo, profundiza en su rol como parte del patrimonio cultural inmaterial de la humanidad, además de su empleo actual y su representación como alimentación saludable y sustentable, y plantea en la necesidad de reconocer a las comidas tradicionales como una oportunidad para la alimentación saludable.
