          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: La dieta mediterránea (DM) es reconocida como un patrón dietético sostenible y saludable; sin embargo, la adhesión de los estudiantes universitarios a sus recomendaciones es baja. El etiquetado nutricional es una estrategia para promover elecciones alimentarias saludables. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la asociación entre el uso del etiquetado nutricional, la adhesión a la DM y el estado nutricional determinado mediante la percepción de la imagen corporal en estudiantes universitarios chilenos. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal, en el que participaron 286 estudiantes entre 18 y 29 años, matriculados en una universidad pública de Valparaíso, Chile. La adhesión a la DM se determinó mediante el Test KIDMED, la frecuencia de uso del etiquetado nutricional se consultó utilizando tres preguntas: ¿revisas la cantidad de sellos “Alto en” de los alimentos envasados antes de comprarlos?; ¿compras alimentos envasados con menos sellos “Alto en” para asegurar una elección saludable?; ¿lees el etiquetado nutricional de los alimentos envasados con sellos “Alto en” antes de comprarlos?. El estado nutricional se determinó mediante la percepción de la imagen corporal. La aplicación de los cuestionarios fue en línea. Se realizaron Modelos de Regresión Logística para evaluar la asociación entre las variables. Resultados: Cerca del 55% reportó un uso frecuente del etiquetado nutricional, el 26,2% una alta adhesión a la DM y el 51,4% se percibe con exceso de peso corporal (EPC). Los estudiantes que frecuentemente compran alimentos envasados con menos sellos “Alto en” y leen el etiquetado nutricional antes de comprar alimentos envasados tuvieron más probabilidad de reportar una alta adhesión a la DM (OR: 2,39; IC95%: 1,17-4,85 y OR: 2,38; IC95%: 1,20-4,73 respectivamente) que aquellos usuarios no frecuentes (p<0,01). Conclusiones: Los estudiantes universitarios que usaron frecuentemente el etiquetado nutricional tuvieron una mayor adhesión a la DM comparado con aquellos usuarios no frecuentes.

          Abstract Introduction: The Mediterranean diet (MD) is recognized as a sustainable and healthy dietary pattern, however, the adherence of university students to its recommendations is low. Nutrition labelling is a strategy to promote healthy alimentary choices. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the association between the use of nutritional labelling, adherence to the MD the nutritional status determined through the perception of body image in Chilean university students. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out in which 286 students between 18 and 29 years old participated, enrolled in a public university in Valparaíso, Chile. The adherence to the MD was determined by the KIDMED Test. The frequency of use of nutrition labelling was consulted through three questions: Do you check the number of “High in” labels on packaged foods before you buy them? Do you buy packaged foods with fewer “High in” labels to ensure a healthy choice? Do you read the nutrition labelling of packaged foods with “High in” labels before you buy them? In addition, the nutritional status was determined by the perception of body image. The application of the questionnaires was online. Logistic regression models were realized to evaluate the association between the variables. Results: About 55% reported a frequent use of nutrition labelling and 26.2% a high adherence to the MD and 51.4% had excess body weight (EBW). The students who frequently buy packaged foods with less “High in” labels and read the nutrition labelling before buy packaged foods had more likely of report a high adherence to the MD (OR: 2.39; 95%IC: 1.17-4.85 y OR: 2.38; 95%IC: 1.20-4.73 respectively) than those infrequent users of nutrition labelling (p<0.01). Conclusions: University students who frequently used nutrition labelling had a greater adherence to the MD compared to those infrequent users.

          Mediterranean diet pyramid today. Science and cultural updates.

          To present the Mediterranean diet (MD) pyramid: a lifestyle for today. A new graphic representation has been conceived as a simplified main frame to be adapted to the different nutritional and socio-economic contexts of the Mediterranean region. This review gathers updated recommendations considering the lifestyle, dietary, sociocultural, environmental and health challenges that the current Mediterranean populations are facing. Mediterranean region and its populations. Many innovations have arisen since previous graphical representations of the MD. First, the concept of composition of the 'main meals' is introduced to reinforce the plant-based core of the dietary pattern. Second, frugality and moderation is emphasised because of the major public health challenge of obesity. Third, qualitative cultural and lifestyle elements are taken into account, such as conviviality, culinary activities, physical activity and adequate rest, along with proportion and frequency recommendations of food consumption. These innovations are made without omitting other items associated with the production, selection, processing and consumption of foods, such as seasonality, biodiversity, and traditional, local and eco-friendly products. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and preserving cultural elements should be considered in order to acquire all the benefits from the MD and preserve this cultural heritage. Considering the acknowledgment of the MD as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO (2010), and taking into account its contribution to health and general well-being, we hope to contribute to a much better adherence to this healthy dietary pattern and its way of life with this new graphic representation.

            Food groups and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies

            The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize the knowledge about the relation between intake of 12 major food groups and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Medline (Ovid), Cochrane Central, and Google Scholar for prospective studies investigating the association between whole grains, refined grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy, fish, red meat, processed meat, and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) on risk of T2D. Summary relative risks were estimated using a random effects model by contrasting categories, and for linear and non-linear dose–response relationships. Six out of the 12 food-groups showed a significant relation with risk of T2D, three of them a decrease of risk with increasing consumption (whole grains, fruits, and dairy), and three an increase of risk with increasing consumption (red meat, processed meat, and SSB) in the linear dose–response meta-analysis. There was evidence of a non-linear relationship between fruits, vegetables, processed meat, whole grains, and SSB and T2D risk. Optimal consumption of risk-decreasing foods resulted in a 42% reduction, and consumption of risk-increasing foods was associated with a threefold T2D risk, compared to non-consumption. The meta-evidence was graded “low” for legumes and nuts; “moderate” for refined grains, vegetables, fruit, eggs, dairy, and fish; and “high” for processed meat, red meat, whole grains, and SSB. Among the investigated food groups, selecting specific optimal intakes can lead to a considerable change in risk of T2D.

              The Mediterranean diet, its components, and cardiovascular disease.

              One of the best-studied diets for cardiovascular health is the Mediterranean diet. This consists of fish, monounsaturated fats from olive oil, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes/nuts, and moderate alcohol consumption. The Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce the burden, or even prevent the development, of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, depression, colorectal cancer, diabetes, obesity, asthma, erectile dysfunction, and cognitive decline. This diet is also known to improve surrogates of cardiovascular disease, such as waist-to-hip ratio, lipids, and markers of inflammation, as well as primary cardiovascular disease outcomes such as death and events in both observational and randomized controlled trial data. These enhancements easily rival those seen with more established tools used to fight cardiovascular disease such as aspirin, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and exercise. However, it is unclear if the Mediterranean diet offers cardiovascular disease benefit from its individual constituents or in aggregate. Furthermore, the potential benefit of the Mediterranean diet or its components is not yet validated by concrete cardiovascular disease endpoints in randomized trials or observational studies. This review will focus on the effects of the whole and parts of the Mediterranean diet with regard to both population-based and experimental data highlighting cardiovascular disease morbidity or mortality and cardiovascular disease surrogates when hard outcomes are not available. Our synthesis will highlight the potential for the Mediterranean diet to act as a key player in cardiovascular disease prevention, and attempt to identify certain aspects of the diet that are particularly beneficial for cardioprotection.
