Regional variations in Mediterranean diet adherence: a sociodemographic and lifestyle analysis across Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean regions within the MEDIET4ALL project

Abstract

Our findings highlight that while Mediterranean regions maintain traditional dietary patterns, globalization and modern lifestyle shifts are narrowing regional health behaviors. Public health strategies should address region-specific barriers, including economic constraints in MC regions and knowledge gaps in NMC regions, while promoting MedDiet adherence. Future research should explore the impact of cultural, socio-economic, and digital factors on dietary behaviors and mental health to develop tailored, effective interventions for improving overall well-being.
