Abstract

Mediterranean dietary traditions have long been associated with lower mortality rates and better health status. The Mediterranean dietary pattern has become customary to be represented in the form of a pyramid, the base of which refers to foods which are suggested to be consumed most frequently and the top of the pyramid to those foods consumed rarely. Recently, an index (diet score) that estimates the adherence level to Mediterranean diet was developed and associated with cardiovascular disease risk and biomarkers. In this work we present a computer program that can easily calculate this diet score, as well as its association with cardiovascular disease risk. The application of this software to the general public might be a useful tool for the reduction of the disease burden related with nutritional habits at population level.

摘要

长期以来，地中海饮食传统一直与较低的死亡率和较好的健康状况相关联。地中海饮食模式通常以金字塔的形式呈现，金字塔底部代表建议最常食用的食物，顶部代表很少食用的食物。最近，一种评估对地中海饮食依从水平的指数（饮食评分）被开发出来，并与心血管疾病风险和生物标志物相关联。在这项工作中，我们展示了一个可以轻松计算这种饮食评分及其与心血管疾病风险关联的计算机程序。将该软件应用于普通大众可能是在人群层面减轻与营养习惯相关疾病负担的有用工具。
