Our aim was to study in 4259 of the PREDIMED trial whether an increase in dietary ED based on a higher adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern was associated with 3-year weight gain. A validated 137-item food-frequency questionnaire was administered. Multivariable-adjusted models were used to analyze the association between 3-year ED change and the subsequent 3-year body weight change. The most important weight reduction after 3-year follow-up was observed in the two lowest quintiles and the highest quintile of ED change. The highest ED increase was characterized by an increased intake of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and nuts and a decreased intake of other oils, vegetable and fruit consumption (p enMediterranean dietary patternPREDIMEDbody weight changedietary energy densityextra-virgin olive oilnutsAgedAged, 80 and overBody WeightCardiovascular DiseasesDiet, MediterraneanEnergy IntakeFemaleFood AnalysisHumansMaleMiddle AgedNutsOlive OilRisk FactorsTime Factorsresearch article28276290open access10.1080/09637486.2017.12950281465-3478http://repositori.upf.edu/bitstream/10230/34834/1/razquin-ijf-diet.pdf
