Abstract in brief

  • A study of over 22,000 Greek adults found that higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet is linked to lower risk of death from all causes, including heart disease and cancer, over about 4 years.
  • Using a 10-point scale to measure diet adherence, each 2-point increase was associated with a 25% reduction in overall mortality, showing the diet’s potential health benefits.
  • The research suggests that following the traditional Mediterranean diet can significantly improve longevity, although individual food groups' effects were less clear.]
