Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: adherence to the “Mediterranean diet” may provide some protection against wheezing and asthma in childhood.

Reviewers’ commentary: some foods related to “Mediterranean diet” may reduce the prevalence of wheezing and asthma in children. However, prospective longitudinal studies are needed to confirm this association.
