“…This score is obtained based on the consumption of eight categories of food, all of which could be derived from the food frequency questionnaire. 20 A score of one would be given if the criteria for each category was fulfilled (the cut-off values of which were determined from prior studies) 20 : (i) high consumption of vegetables (men >303 g/day, women >248 g/day), (ii) high consumption of legumes (men >60 g/day, women >49 g/day), (iii) high consumption of fruits (men >249 g/day, women >216 g/day), (iv) high consumption of cereals (men >291 g/day, women >248 g/day), (v) low consumption of meat and meat products (men <109 g/day, women <91 g/day), (vi) low consumption of milk and dairy products (men <201 g/day, women <194 g/ day), (vii) high monounsaturated: saturated fat ratio (>1.6), and (viii) moderate ethanol consumption (<10 g/day).…”

The Mediterranean-style diet has been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular events as well as all-cause mortality among individuals with and without cardiovascular diseases (CVD). 1,2 Those adopting the Mediterraneanstyle diet have been shown to have a lower blood pressure (BP), oxidized low-density lipoprotein, inflammatory marker concentration, and carotid intima-media thickness as well as better endothelial function. 3-6 Recently, outpatient clinic visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) has been identified as a novel risk factor for the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 7,8 An elevated visit-to-visit BPV also significantly predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, independent of average BP control. 9,10 Factors that have been noted to be associated with an increased visit-to-visit BPV include an increased arterial stiffness, poor compliance or improper titration of anti-hypertensive medications, as well as seasonal variations in BP. 11,12 Nevertheless, the influence of various dietary patterns, in particular the Mediterranean-style diet, on BPV has not been studied previously. In this study, we sought to investigate whether a Mediterranean-style diet among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with a reduced BPV as well as the subsequent risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and all-cause mortality. Methods subjects The study population comprised of consecutive patients with known history of stable CAD currently followed-up in

“…Since the mid-twentieth century, several publications appeared showing that patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) have increased postprandial lipemia [2,25,26]. Convincing evidence establishing the role of postprandial hyperlipidemia and chylomicron remnants in atherosclerosis was provided by research coming from some outstanding groups in the past three decades [27][28][29][30].…”

Cardiovascular disease can be considered a condition of chronic low-grade inflammation. Postprandial hyperlipidemia and obesity can both exacerbate inflammatory processes. Postprandial lipemia stimulates the activation of leukocytes, the production of chemokines, and activation of the complement system. Obesity is also associated with postprandial hyperlipidemia by hepatic overproduction of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and consequently delayed clearance of intestinally derived chylomicrons due to competition for the same metabolic pathways. Insulin resistance is one of the key elements leading to hepatic VLDL overproduction and is also a key factor in the generation of inflammation. These metabolic derangements cause accumulation of atherogenic remnant lipoproteins, which is also a proatherogenic mechanism. Change in lifestyle is the most important therapeutic strategy to stop this vicious circle of postprandial hyperlipidemia, obesity, inflammation, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease.

“…The first international study assessing the MedD in those with Asian heritage involved Chinese cohorts from four different geographic locations: a rural area of southern China, Hong Kong, San Francisco and Sydney (65) . The dietary intakes, assessed via a validated FFQ, were applied to an eight-component MedD scoring system first used by DeGroot and colleagues in Greece (Table 5) (13) . The Chinese cohorts who were older had higher rates of adherence; these rates were even higher than some findings in Greece (65) .…”

“…While the unique dietary and lifestyle features of the MedD have individual health associations, it is the synergistic effect of the diet components that infers its unique health benefit (13)(14)(15)(16)(17) . This is encompassed by MedD scoring systems; they encapsulate this dietary pattern into a numeric score for assessment with health outcomes.…”

Mediterranean diet scoring systems: understanding the evolution and applications for Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean countries

2021

The Mediterranean diet (MedD) is a flexible dietary pattern which has such variability that has led to inconsistencies in definitions and assessment. The purpose of this narrative review is to evaluate scoring systems in a cultural and geographic context, from Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean countries, for comparison and application. The early MedD scoring systems (i.e. Trichopoulou’s MedD Scale (T-MDS) and alternative MedD Scale (aMed)) are widely applied throughout the world but use population-specific median cut-offs which limit interpretation and cross-study comparisons. The T-MDS and aMed also do not account for non-traditional MedD foods which are consumed in greater quantities than when the scoring systems were developed. Scoring systems developed after the MedD pyramid publication in 2011 have generally used these recommendations as a basis for food group intake cut-offs, incorporating more foods/food groups as negative components, and some have included dietary and lifestyle behaviours. The different approaches to MedD assessment have created much variability in the foods/food group components included in scoring systems. Assessments that include dietary and lifestyle behaviours may reflect the nutrition transition occurring in Mediterranean countries and better guide clinical intervention approaches. While the new scoring systems are theorised to better capture MedD adherence and behaviours, comparisons are sparse in the literature and none exists outside of Europe. Consensus on food and dietary behaviours to include as well as the methodology for assigning points in MedD scoring systems is needed to advance our understanding of MedD and health relationships to promote public health messaging and clinical application.
