Mediterranean diet, energy restriction, physical activity, and atherogenicity of very-low density lipoproteins: findings from two randomized controlled trials
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2023-01)
Scope: Some very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL) properties may render themmore pro-atherogenic. We aimed to assess whether a Mediterranean diet(MedDiet) or an energy-reduced MedDiet with increased ...
Mediterranean diet maintained platelet count within a healthy range and decreased thrombocytopenia-related mortality risk: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021-02)
There is little information on the dietary modulation of thrombosis-related risk factors such as platelet count. We aimed to assess the effects of Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) on platelet count and ...
Mediterranean diet and white blood cell count — A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021-06)
We aimed to assess the effects of the antioxidant-rich Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) on white blood cell count. Our study population included participants in the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea study ...
Role of HDL function and LDL atherogenicity on cardiovascular risk: a comprehensive examination
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-06)
Background
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) atherogenic traits can describe the role of both particles on cardiovascular diseases more accurately than HDL- ...
Increased consumption of virgin olive oil, nuts, legumes, whole grains, and fish promotes HDL functions in humans
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-01)
Scope
To evaluate whether increases in the consumption of cardioprotective food groups (virgin olive oil, nuts, fruits/vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, and wine) are associated with improvements ...
A lifestyle intervention with an energy-restricted Mediterranean diet and physical activity enhances HDL function: a substudy of the PREDIMED-Plus randomized controlled trial
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Background
Consumption of a Mediterranean diet, adequate levels of physical activity, and energy-restricted lifestyle interventions have been individually associated with improvements in HDL functions. ...
Mediterranean diet and quality of life: Baseline cross-sectional analysis of the PREDIMED-PLUS trial
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-06)
We assessed if a 17-item score capturing adherence to a traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) was associated with better health-related quality of life among older Spanish men and women with overweight ...
Mediterranean diet decreases the initiation of use of vitamin K epoxide reductase inhibitors and their associated cardiovascular risk: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2020-12-19)
Our aim is to assess whether following a Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) decreases the risk of initiating antithrombotic therapies and the cardiovascular risk associated with its use in older individuals ...
Yearly attained adherence to Mediterranean diet and incidence of diabetes in a large randomized trial
(BioMed Central, 2023-09)
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 ...
Breakfast energy intake and dietary quality and trajectories of cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults
(Elsevier, 2024-12)
Objectives
Not skipping breakfast is associated with a better overall diet quality and lower cardiometabolic risk. However, the impact of calorie intake and dietary quality of breakfast on cardiovascular ...
