Dietary patterns and chronic disease prevention
Overview
Research indicates that long-term dietary patterns play a significant role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases and inflammation.
A long-term study involving over 84,000 participants found that adhering to high-quality dietary indices, such as the Alternative Mediterranean Diet (aMED), the DASH pattern, and the Healthy Eating Index (AHEI-2010), can lower the risk of developing a first chronic disease by 6% to 8%. Specifically, high adherence to the alternative Mediterranean diet was associated with a 28% lower risk of dying without having developed the analyzed diseases.
Complementary expert guidance suggests that while no single ‘anti-inflammatory diet’ is officially defined, patterns like the Mediterranean diet, plant-based diets, and the DASH diet are effective at mitigating chronic inflammation. These approaches emphasize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and unsaturated fats to help prevent tissue damage and risks associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia, and cancer.
