The dietary intake from the rural area of Apulia, Italy has been collected in a population-based cohort study for the past two decades. A study was conducted in this cohort to describe and analyse dietary intake in association with biomarker profiles. The study population showed remarkable stability across dietary intake, particularly high intakes of vegetables, fruit, and local pasta, as well as anthropometric measures, blood pressure, and biochemical markers. Furthermore, with the use of repeated measures, olive oil was inversely correlated with HDL-cholesterol. The benefits of a Mediterranean diet go beyond their nutritional value. Olive oil, as a staple food item along with other key elements of this dietary pattern, have been linked to improvements in health related quality of life (HRQoL). This subjective assessment of well-being has been strongly associated with various “Healthy” dietary patterns in this systematic review of 13 research articles. Researchers conclude that the Mediterranean diet in particular has a positive impact on not only physical well-being, but also mental well-being. Furthermore, unhealthy dietary patterns such as those high in saturated fats and refined carbohydrates are inversely associated with self-perceived health. Another systematic review with a meta-analysis on the effects of the Mediterranean diet on blood pressure was conducted among randomized controlled trials and observational studies. The investigators used a random-effects meta-analysis to observe that Mediterranean diet interventions reduced systolic blood pressure by a mean -1.4 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by -1.5 mmHg versus the controls. Greater reductions in blood pressure were observed for longer study interventions and higher baseline systolic blood pressure. In addition, observational studies observed 13% lower odds of developing hypertension among higher Mediterranean diet adherence compared to lower adherence.
