Key findings
- The MD is a scientifically supported dietary intervention with broad preventive and therapeutic benefits.
- Its integration into clinical practice, public health strategies, and policy initiatives is strongly recommended to promote health and reduce the global health care burden.
Why it matters
These national guidelines state that the Mediterranean diet has broad preventive and therapeutic benefits and recommend its integration into clinical practice and public health strategies. They do not report new trial results or show that the diet cures or prevents Alzheimer's disease.
