A Mediterranean-typediet has been demonstrated to exert a preventive effect toward cardiovasculardiseases, in both Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean populations. Part ofthese properties may depend on a positive action toward healthier metabolism,decreasing the risk of diabetes and metabolic-syndrome-related conditions.Some studies also suggested a potential role in preventing certain cancers. Finally,newer research has showed that a higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet isassociated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, depression, and other mentaldisorders. Overall, a better understanding of the key elements of this dietarypattern, the underlying mechanisms, and targets, are needed to corroboratecurrent evidence and provide insights on new and potential outcomes.ThisSpecial Issue welcomes original research and reviews of literature concerningthe Mediterranean diet and various health outcomes:Observational studies onestablished nutritional cohorts (preferred), case-control studies, or populationsample on the association with non-communicable diseases;Level of evidenceon the association with human health, including systematic reviews and metaanalyses;Evaluation of application of Mediterranean diet principles in non-Mediterranean countries;Description of mechanisms of action, pathways, andtargets at the molecular level, including interaction with gut microbiota. 610 $aoffspring 610 $adietary intervention study 610 $amental health 610 $anoncommunicable diseases 610 $aplasma lipids 610 $adepressive symptoms 610 $achildren 610 $ametabolomics 610 $aMediterranean Diet 610 $aimmune system 610 $aolive oil 610 $ahealthy lifestyle 610 $aobesity 610 $aprevention 610 $atelomere length 610 $arisk factors 610 $aMediterranean diet 610 $aadolescents 610 $apregnancy 610 $aathletes 610 $adietary change 610 $amicrobiome 610 $anutrition 610 $anuts 610 $awhole-grain 610 $ahealth communication 610 $achildbearing age 610 $adementia 610 $aItaly 610 $aquality of life 610 $awine 610 $adietary intervention 610 $aquestionnaire 610 $anon-alcoholic fatty liver disease 610 $apublic health policy 610 $arelative Mediterranean diet score 610 $aDNA damage 610 $afruit 610 $afood groups 610 $acohort 610 $acognitive decline 610 $avegetable 610 $aDNA repair 610 $auniversity students 610 $aepidemiology 610 $aMediterranean diet pyramid 610 $adietary intake 610 $amotivational climate 610 $aweight status 610 $aglucose control 610 $adiet 610 $acardiovascular risk 610 $aresveratrol 610 $asleep quality 610 $aBMI 610 $acardiovascular disease 610 $acatechins 610 $asports 610 $asocioeconomic factors 610 $aself-concept 610 $achild health 610 $ahypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-HPA axis 610 $aphysical activity 610 $aSpain 610 $abarriers 610 $adiet quality 610 $afish 610 $achildhood obesity 610 $atranslation 610 $adiabetes 610 $adairy 700 $aMartini$b Daniela$4auth$01318526 702 $aGrosso$b Giuseppe$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367754903321 996 $aHealth Benefits of Mediterranean Diet$93033364 997 $aUNINA
