A diet with excessive energy intake and a positive energy balance seems to be associated with lower quality of life, as measured through successful aging
Are Current Dietary Habits in Mediterranean Islands a Reflection of the Past? Results from the Medis Study
In the 1960s, the recorded dietary pattern of Southern European populations was typical of the traditional Mediterranean diet. However, diets have been rapidly changing. The aim of the current work was to examine the extent by which present food habits of inhabitants residing in various Mediterranean islands uphold past dietary traditions of the Mediterranean diet. A population-based, multi-stage sampling method was used to voluntarily enroll 876…
Cultural, Social, and Environmental Influences on Surviving Dietary Patterns of the Past
The present work documents the core diet of a population in a Mediterranean island that has been minimally eroded by industrialization and tourism, and links present food-consumption patterns to the foods' historical roots and to the exploitation of natural resources available to the community. Demographic, behavioral, cultivation, and food-intake information were collected among inhabitants of the isolated northern villages of Karpathos. The cor…
