“…Now it is well recognized that this food pattern may reduce overall mortality (1) and counteract many metabolic disorders and diseases such as the metabolic syndrome (2), cardiovascular diseases (1,3,4), cancer (1), type 2 diabetes (5,6) and some neurodegenerative diseases (1,3). Despite its moderate fat content, the MedDiet has also been proposed as a useful strategy for body weight management (7).…”

A cknowledgmentsWe thank all the participants for their excellent collaboration. Methods: Thirty-eight men and 32 premenopausal women (24-53 years) were exposed to the same 4-week experimental MedDiet during which all foods were provided to participants. Participants also received some recommendations/tools to adhere to a healthy way of eating, with no other contact until the 6-month follow-up visit.Results: Compared to baseline, the Mediterranean score (MedScore) had increased at the end of the 6-month follow-up (time effect P=0.003), with no gender difference (gender-by-time interaction P=0.97). Although our intervention was not focused on body weight management, compared to baseline, BMI decreased during the intervention in both men and women (respectively P<0.0001 and P=0.03); however, only the female participants of this study managed to maintain the lower BMI, six months after the intervention (P=0.03 for women;gender-by-time interaction P=0.04).Conclusions: Exposure to the MedDiet for a short duration promotes the adherence to this food pattern in both genders and helps in the management of body weight, especially in women.

A meta-analysis, also published in 2013, assessed the effects of Parkinson's disease on stroke, cognitive impairment and depression and included a total of 22 studies, including 8 on cognitive impairment [119].

Poor dietary habits lead to the emergence of chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cancer, dementia, obesity and oxidative stress involved through the aggression of cells by free radicals, Knowing that these diseases cause a global burden both individually and economically, Several studies focus on the relationship between diet and chronic disease. Studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet, (MD) traditional eating habits and lifestyle specific to the Mediterranean region, reduce the incidence of chronic diseases and improve longevity. The MD is known to be one of the healthiest diets, this diet is based on herbs, spices, vegetables, fruits, olive oils, cereals (preferably whole grains), legumes and nuts, fish and shellfish, white meat, so the main source of dietary fat from MD is olive oil. Moderate consumption of eggs and dairy products, and reduced consumption of red meats, processed meats and foods rich in sugars and fats. MD has a beneficial fatty acid profile with a higher content of monounsaturated fatty acids (MSFA) and a higher MSFA / saturated fatty acid (SFA) ratio than non-Mediterranean diets. High consumption of dietary fiber. a low glycemic index, antiinflammatory effects, and antioxidant compounds, can work together to produce favorable effects on health status. MD is rich in vitamins and minerals, such as: vitamin B (B1, B2, niacin, B6, folate and B12) and antioxidant vitamins (vitamins E and C), and polyphenol, flavonoids, phytosterols, n-fatty acids 3 (alpha linoleic acid), resveratrol, quercetin, oleic acid, carotenoids and lutein. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the current state of science regarding the relationship between the traditional Mediterranean diet and lifestyle related chronic diseases, and discuss the mechanisms involved and opportunities. In this area of research, to clarify and increase the confidence of the role of nutrition in the etiology of chronic diseases.

“…Por ello, resulta fundamental la adhesión desde edades tempranas a un modelo dietético que asegure un buen estado nutricional (Baldini, Pasqui, Bordoni y Maranesi, 2008), como es la Dieta Mediterránea (DM); la cual se caracteriza por un consumo elevado de antioxidantes naturales, legumbres, pescado, frutos secos y aceite de oliva, así como una ingesta moderada-baja de carne, huevo y grasas (Grao-Cruces, Nuviala, Fernández-Martínez, Porcel-Gálvez, Moral-García y Martínez-López, 2013;Papadaki et al, 2007;Yahia, Achkar, Abdallah y Rizk, 2008). Asimismo, tanto Estruch et al (2013) como Rodrigo, Ejeda, González y Mijancos (2014), recuerdan que una alimentación saludable debe desprenderse del consumo de sustancias nocivas, como son el alcohol o el tabaco (Psaltopoulou, Sergentanis, Panagiotakos, Sergentanis, Kosti y Scarmeas, 2013).…”

Resumen. La etapa universitaria representa un periodo de riesgo en la configuración de hábitos saludables de cara a la vida adulta, especialmente por el deterioro que sufre el modelo dietético de este sector y el elevado consumo de sustancias dañinas como son las drogas legales. Este estudio pretende determinar el nivel de consumo de tabaco y alcohol, así como el nivel de adherencia a la Dieta Mediterránea (DM) y el lugar de residencia de un sector de población universitaria, estableciendo patrones de relación entre estas variables. Se evaluaron 490 estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad de Granada (M=22,8 años; DT=3,639), utilizándose los instrumentos FTND, AUDIT y KIDMED. Los resultados determinaron que cuatro quintos de la muestra era no fumadora, mientras que 9 de cada 10 participantes si se asociaban con algún tipo de dependencia hacia el alcohol. En cuanto a su alimentación, tres quintos del total seguían una dieta de calidad media-baja que debería mejorar. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticas entre el consumo de tabaco y alcohol, asociándose prácticamente la totalidad de fumadores a algún tipo de dependencia hacia bebidas alcohólicas. No se determinaron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas entre el consumo de sustancias nocivas, la adhesión a la DM y el lugar de residencia de la muestra. Se justifica el interés de plantear iniciativas que promuevan hábitos físico-saludables entre adultos jóvenes.

University years represent a period of risk in the configuration of healthy habits into adulthood, especially due to the deterioration of the dietary pattern of this sector and the high consumption of harmful substances such as legal drugs. This study aims to determine the level of consumption of tobacco and alcohol, as well as the level of adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) and the place of residence of this sector of population, establishing patterns of relationship between these variables. 490 students (M=22,8 years old, SD=3,639) from the University of Granada were evaluated using the
