“…41 In addition, mounting evidence con rms the inverse association between MD adherence and obesity, a known risk factor for some hormone-sensitive neoplasia: this is related to body weight reduction and to reduced risk of gaining weight over time with adherence to MD. 42 In our subgroup analysis, when evaluating MD adherence, our ndings do not suggest any differences between high or medium adherence in terms of cancer risk reduction. While these results should be taken with caution and considered only hypothesisgenerating, they raise suggestion that in older age even small dietary changes can have an impact, so that strict adherence to nutritional regimes should not need to be chased at any cost.…”

The magnitude of benefit of Mediterranean diet in cancer prevention and mortality in older adults is still unclear, therefore we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. Outcomes considered were cancer incidence and cancer mortality. In studies evaluating cancer incidence as a time-to-event endpoint and adherence as quantiles, HR was 0.885 (95% CI 0.773–1.013, I2 = 44%). Including ORs, exploratory pooled effect size was 0.876 (0.794–0.966, I2 = 34%), consistently with results of studies evaluating ORs for adherence as one-point increase (OR 0.744, 0.570–0.972, I2 = 90%). No clear benefit was observed on cancer mortality, with pooled HR of 0.935 (0.800-1.093, I2 = 0%). Significant interaction was observed for ORs according to cancer type but not between medium and high adherence for both outcomes. Our findings suggest that MD plays a protective role in cancer incidence in advanced age, but no clear effect on cancer mortality was observed.

“…Different eating patterns have been searched for their relationship with health. The best known are the Mediterranean Diet Pattern, the DASH Diet (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) or the Planetary Health Diet ( 9 ). All of them recommend a diverse diet, with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, moderate amounts of dairy products, fish and eggs, vegetable oils (including olive) and low amounts of red meat.…”

Diabetes is a non-communicable chronic, but preventable, disease whose occurrence is related to unhealthy lifestyles, including inadequate diet. Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes. In Argentina, 12.7% of the population is living with diabetes. In this work, we aimed at giving a perspective on the role of yogurt, as part of a healthy lifestyle, for the prevention and management of obesity and diabetes. The intake of yogurt declined in the last decade in Argentina. In the context of the global diet, the contribution of a moderate increase of yogurt consumption has the potential to improve up to 10% the nutritional density of the Argentine population’s diet, given its present low diversity and wide gaps in nutritive foods. The consumption of yogurt can be beneficial in the prevention and management of obesity and T2DM. The ready availability of yogurt and its easy introduction to diverse diets suggests that educating the general public to incorporate this fermented milk as part of a healthy diet may potentially contribute to improved public health through prevention of NCDs and the costs associated with them.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects 1-3% of the population. The pathomechanism of psoriasis development is complex, but genetic (non-modifiable) factors play a key role. However, the importance of environmental factors and lifestyle choices, such as the diet, alcohol consumption, and smoking, is increasing. The objective of this review was to analyse the influence of dietary habits, alcohol consumption, and smoking on the clinical course of psoriasis. Stress, a poor diet, alcohol abuse, and smoking can trigger psoriasis or cause its exacerbation. Therefore, in addition to the correct selection of therapy, it is extremely important to educate patients about the impact of these factors on the onset and progression of psoriasis. This literature review confirms that a holistic and multidisciplinary approach is required for patients with psoriasis, further emphasizing Hippocrates' thesis, "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food".
