Among the studies related to the health impact of olive oil, this week, we want to highlight one of the SUN cohort (University of Navarra Follow-up), where a study of the incidence of glaucoma was carried out in a university population with a total of 12 years of follow-up. For each point on the HLS scale (Healthy Lifestyle Score), a scale consisting of 10 Mediterranean lifestyle habits - among which the consumption of a diet rich in extra virgin olive oil - a 5% decrease in the incidence of glaucoma was observed (Moreno Montañés).
