The researchers assessed the association of Mediterranean diets with the occurrence of symptomatic PAD in 7,477 participants – with an average age of 67 years – and 58 percent of whom were women.

Participants were randomised to 1 of 3 groups: a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil; a Mediterranean diet supplemented with nuts; or counselling on a low-fat diet (control group).

There were 89 confirmed new cases of clinical PAD after a median (midpoint) follow-up of 4.8 years. (Read: Prevent diabetes with a mediterranean diet)

Both Mediterranean diet interventions were associated with a lower risk of PAD compared with the control group, said the study.
