Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals Mediterranean diet reduces central obesity and hypertension in postmenopausal women, suggesting potential health benefits.

  • For each one-point increase in the aMED score, central obesity odds reduced by 33%, and hypertension by 18%.
  • Cross-sectional study involved 312 postmenopausal women with anthropometric and blood parameter assessments.
  • Findings indicate the need for longitudinal studies to explore causality between diet adherence and metabolic syndrome.
