Higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with improved glycemic control and reduced atherogenic patterns: A population-based study

Background and Aims: 

The traditional Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has been linked to a reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes, while a potential effect on advanced lipoprotein profiles is debated. We hypothesized that greater MedDiet adherence positively impacts both glycemic and lipoprotein profiles.
