Abstract

Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated the association between dietary factors and non-communicable diseases. Great attention has been payed to the Mediterranean dietary pattern, given its richness in anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules. Numerous reports from the SUN (Seguimiento Universidad De Navarra) cohort have shown that higher adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern may be inversely associated with mortality, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Likewise, a link with mental health outcomes, such as depressive symptoms, cognitive status and quality of life was also found, suggesting its beneficial effects toward brain health.
