Galbete C, et al. - In the EPIC-Potsdam cohort, the researchers explored the link between the Nordic diet and the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) with the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cancer. Between 1994 and 1998, 27,548 participants were included in this analysis. To examine the connection between the diet scores and the incidence of major chronic diseases, Cox regression models were applied. According to the findings obtained, the Nordic diet demonstrated a statistically non-significant inverse association with incidence of MI in the overall population and of stroke in men. In addition, the MedPyr score was also inversely associated with MI in women. It was found that adherence to the MedDiet was correlated with lower incidence of T2D. However, no correlation was noted for any of the scores with cancer.
