Abstract in brief

  • The Mediterranean diet (MD) has potential metabolic benefits, but no systematic reviews have assessed its overall effects on metabolic health outcomes, prompting this extensive study.
  • Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the MD's impact on metabolic syndrome (MetSyn), its components, risk factors, and related comorbidities.
  • After analyzing 84 studies involving nearly 37,000 participants, findings indicated that the MD significantly improved 18 of 28 components related to MetSyn, including weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and reduced cardiovascular disease risk.

To nie wszystko. Inne badania wskazują na poprawę parametrów metabolicznych: cholesterolu, glukozy, insuliny, mediatorów stanu zapalnego oraz zmniejsza się otłuszczenie wątroby. Widoczny był także spadek masy ciała. https://t.co/ccg2D3KoG3
