The relationship between high Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP) adherence and decreased low-grade systemic inflammation.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMay 7 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in Nutrients , researchers investigated the relationship between high Mediterranean dietary pattern adherence and decreased low-grade systemic inflammation in Brazil. They also examined which Mediterranean diet components contributed to the relationships.
Recent research has shown that younger individuals adhere less to the MDP. However, there is limited comprehensive scientific evidence among Brazilian populations on the effects of the Mediterranean diet on LGSI. Between September 2014 and December 2015, they randomly selected individuals residing in permanent private households in São Paulo's metropolitan region, excluding those on enteral or parenteral diets and chronic alcoholics.
Results Most participants were white and male, with a median age of 41–68 years and household earnings higher than the minimum wage. Younger individuals had ten to twelve years of formal education, whereas elderly adults had less. Only among elderly individuals was strong abidance by the Mediterranean diet associated with 12% lower LGSI scores. Older individuals who adhered closely to the Mediterranean diet consumed less full-fat-type dairy and meat.
Seniors who consumed olive oil and vegetables and adhered to the Mediterranean diet had lower systemic inflammation. An intake of ≥12 servings of vegetables per week, compared to ≤9 servings, reduced LGSI scores by 13%.
