• Resumen

  • The role of nutrition in preventing peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains elusive.1 Mediterranean diets reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.2,3 They also may reduce the risk of PAD, but this hypothesis has never been tested in a randomized trial. We assessed the association of Mediterranean diets with the occurrence of symptomatic PAD in an exploratory, nonprespecified analysis of a randomized trial.
