Mediterranean diet may lower women’s risk for heart disease by 24%, study finds

Following a Mediterranean diet may help reduce the risk of heart disease in women, a new study suggests.

Researchers found the diet was associated with a 24% lower risk of cardiovascular disease in women and a 23% lower risk of total mortality, according to the study published in the journal Heart.

A Mediterranean diet, patterned on the traditional cuisines of the region, emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, legumes, nuts and whole grains.

While the benefits of this way of eating have been researched before, this meta-analysis, which looked at 16 prior studies, marks the first time the association between the diet and heart disease has been studied specific to women, according to the authors. 

“This study highlights the need to include sex specific analysis in research and translate such findings into clinical practice guidelines,” the study states, calling it “an important step.”
