Resum:
In the last years some studies have proposed that a Mediterranean traditional pattern, might be an important source of nutrients capable of modulating of the inflammation, protecting the organism of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. The results derived from the present thesis by means of a cross-sectional study in a population of high cardiovascular risk, the high intake of olive oil, nuts, fruits and cereals associated with low concentrations of inflammatory markers related to the function endothelial. Furthermore, by means randomised clinical trial of a year of duration performed in subjects non-diabetics, the adherence to a Mediterranean traditional diet supplemented with virgin olive oil or nuts decreased the incidence of prediabetes, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, compared with a Control diet. This suggests that the Mediterranean traditional diet can be a useful strategy for the prevention of these pathologies and therefore to reduce the risk of appearance of cardiovascular diseases.
