Abstract

Authors’s conclusions: Adherence to the mediterranean diet is associated with a lower risk of diabetes mellitus type 2.

Reviewer’s commentary: Some studies have shown that a Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduction of chronic diseases. The results of this study are consistent with other publications demonstrating the beneficial effect of this diet on glucose metabolism. Health education activities aimed to promote Mediterranean diet should be part of of pediatricians and general practitioners clinical practice. It would be useful to have studies that support the benefits of Mediterranean diet in less selected populations.
