Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle in a Modern World Context

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Nutrition and lifestyle have been shown to impact the etiology of major causes of death including heart, malignant neoplasms, chronic lower respiratory, cerebrovascular, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes diseases. The death incidence attributable to these causes is projected to increase due to the growing and aging population. Socioeconomic constraints contribute to the coexistence of non-communicable diseases with food insecurity.
