The Mediterranean Diet, the OGG1 Gene, and Disease Risk: Early Evidence
The relationship between European food and fat consumption trends and coronary heart disease, cancer, stroke, and all-cause mortality has increasingly gained public health attention.1-3 This increase in attention began with early ecological evidence suggesting a positive association between a Mediterranean-type dietary pattern and health compared to dietary patterns with low intake of olive oil.1-3 The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) pattern is not a single dietary pattern, but rather a variation of rural Mediterranean Basin dietary patterns that traditionally share some commonalities.

The Mediterranean Diet: its definition and evaluation of a priori dietary indexes in primary cardiovascular prevention.
Authors: D'Alessandro A, De Pergola G Abstract We have analysed the definition of Mediterranean Diet in 28 studies included in six meta-analyses evaluating the relation between the Mediterranean Diet and primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Some typical food of this dietary pattern like whole cereals, olive oil and red wine were taken into account only in a few a priori indexes, and the dietary pattern defined as Mediterranean showed many differences among the studies and compared to traditional Mediterranean Diet of the early 1960s. Altogether, the analysed studies show a protective effect of the Mediterr...

This Month in The Journal
Elevated blood pressure is a well-recognized risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. Blood pressure, in turn, is influenced by several factors, both genetic and non-genetic. However, there is a lack of understanding regarding the potential for lifestyle (e.g., choices related to smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and exercise) to modulate how genetic variation influences blood pressure. To gain insight into this issue, Sung et  al. incorporated smoking status into a genome-wide meta-analysis of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in over 600,000 individuals spanning multiple ancestries.
