Progress on prevention of osteoporosis with Mediterranean diet / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

The Mediterranean diet refers to the dietary pattern derived from eating habits of the southern European countries along the Mediterranean coast. It is a healthy diet pattern with essential nutrients. It was reported that the incidence of osteoporosis in the Mediterranean countries is lower, so it is of particular interest to explore the effect and potential mechanism of the diet on bone health. Applying research results of the Mediterranean diet to the prevention of osteoporosis in other countries is a feasible way to reduce the incidence of osteoporosis in the future.
