Background
The Mediterranean diet (MD) is widely recommended for the
prevention of chronic disease, but evidence for a beneficial effect on bone
health is lacking.
prevention of chronic disease, but evidence for a beneficial effect on bone
health is lacking.
Objective
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a
Mediterranean-like dietary pattern [NU-AGE (New Dietary Strategies Addressing
the Specific Needs of the Elderly Population for Healthy Aging in Europe)] on
indexes of inflammation with a number of secondary endpoints, including bone
mineral density (BMD) and biomarkers of bone and collagen degradation in a 1-y
multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT; NU-AGE) in elderly Europeans.

indexes of inflammation with a number of secondary endpoints, including bone
mineral density (BMD) and biomarkers of bone and collagen degradation in a 1-y
multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT; NU-AGE) in elderly Europeans.
Design
An RCT was undertaken across 5 European centers. Subjects in
the intervention group consumed the NU-AGE diet for 1 y by receiving
individually tailored dietary advice, coupled with supplies of foods including
whole-grain pasta, olive oil, and a vitamin D3 supplement
(10 µg/d). Participants in the control group were provided with leaflets on
healthy eating available in their country.

Results
A total of 1294 participants (mean ± SD age: 70.9 ±4.0
y; 44% male) were recruited to the study and 1142 completed the 1-y trial. The
Mediterranean-like dietary pattern had no effect on BMD (site-specific or
whole-body); the inclusion of compliance to the intervention in the statistical
model did not change the findings. There was also no effect of the intervention
on the urinary biomarkers free pyridinoline or free deoxypyridinoline. Serum
25-hydroxyvitamin D significantly increased and parathyroid hormone decreased (P n = 24 and
30 in MD and control groups, respectively; P = 0.04)
but had no effect on lumbar spine or whole-body BMD.

Conclusions
A
1-y intervention of the Mediterranean-like diet together with vitamin D3 supplements (10 µg/d) had no effect on BMD in
the normal age-related range, but it significantly reduced the rate of loss of
bone at the femoral neck in individuals with osteoporosis.
