A new study analyzed the effectiveness of the remote intervention used in PREDIMAR for adherence to the Mediterranean diet, which included phone contacts (1 per 3 months) and dietary counseling through a web page, a mobile app, and printed resources. After 24 months of follow-up, increased adherence to the Mediterranean diet was observed in both groups, but improvement was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Despite the difficulties of a remote follow up and intervention, the use of online resources and phone calls can increase the overall adherence to a Mediterranean diet among patients with atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation. The PREDIMED trial evaluates the effectiveness of a nutritional intervention conducted by dietitians for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. A cross-sectional analysis of the PREDIMED trial evaluated which plasma metabolites and metabolomic profiles are involved in different biological pathways through elastic net regressions. The primary goal was to provide mechanistic insights regarding the role of carbohydrate quality indices on health. Glycemic index, glycemic load and carbohydrate quality index (CQI) were all associated with specific metabolomic profiles in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular disease risk. As expected, the CQI observed inverse relationships between the metabolic profiles directly associated with glycemic index and glycemic load. These findings give further validity to dietary carbohydrate indices and help understand their role in the development of cardiometabolic disorders. In addition to the well-established health benefits of following the Mediterranean diet, a potential role in the prevention of hepatic steatosis has been suggested by a population-based prospective cohort study. An inverse association was observed between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and incidence of hepatic steatosis based on the Fatty Liver Index. However, inconsistencies were found in this association when hepatic steatosis was assessed by the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease score. These results highlight the need for an accurate population-level assessment of fatty liver disease and its physiological markers. You can CLICK HERE to go see our latest posts... Thanks!
