Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, and poor diet is a leading risk factor for adverse cardiac events (Ahmed et al., 2023). The Mediterranean diet provides protection against coronary heart disease, regardless of the common risk factors for cardiovascular diseases like smoking, hypertension, diabetes, etc (Legrand et al., 2019). Those living in the blue zones of Greece and Italy have far fewer deaths from cardiovascular disease than populations living in other parts of the world (Legrand et al., 2021). This project aims to investigate how the Mediterranean diet has influenced the rates of cardiovascular disease amongst the populations in both Ikaria and Sardinia.
