Assaf-Balut C, et al. - Researchers assessed the impact of a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), enhanced with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and nuts, on a composite of adverse maternofoetal outcomes of women with normoglycemia during pregnancy.

Findings suggested an association a MedDiet, enhanced with EVOO and nuts with a risk reduction of composite of maternofoetal outcomes (CMFOs) in over 50% in normoglycemic pregnant women. Hence, for pregnant women it might be a potentially adequate diet. Crude relative risk demonstrated a correlation of the intervention with a significant reduction in the risk of CMFOs, with a number-needed-to-treat=5.
