Yearly attained adherence to Mediterranean diet and incidence of diabetes in a large randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several large observational prospective studies have reported a protection by the traditional Mediterranean diet against type 2 diabetes, but none of them used yearly repeated measures of dietary intake. Repeated measurements of dietary intake are able to improve subject classification and to increase the quality of the assessed relationships in nutritional epidemiology. Beyond observational studies, randomized trials provide stronger causal evidence. In the context of a randomized trial of primary cardiovascular prevention, we assessed type 2 diabetes incidence according to yearly repeated measures of compliance with a nutritional intervention based on the traditional Mediterranean diet.

Methods

PREDIMED (''PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea'') was a Spanish trial
