Adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduced DAS28 index among patients with rheumatoid arthritis: Case study from KRRD

ConclusionThe findings suggest that optimal drug treatment and a restrictive diet can help to improve DAS28 score for patients with RA. More patients in the cohort DAS28<3.2 used olive oil, servings of vegetables, fruits, and legumes. In contrast, more patients in the cohort DAS28  ≥ 3.2 consumed red meat, butter, sweetened or soft drinks, cakes, cookies, or biscuits, and tomato sauce.
