ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE
A total of 74 607 men and women, aged 60 years or more, without coronary heart disease, stroke, or cancer at enrolment and with complete information about dietary intake and potentially confounding variables, were assessed in the EPIC-elderly study. An increase in the modified Mediterranean diet score (a composite score which includes nine components of a Mediterranean diet such as legumes, fruit, cereal, alcohol intake, etc) was associated with lower overall mortality, a two unit increment corresponding to a significant reduction of 8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 3% to 12%). No significant evidence of heterogeneity was found among countries in the association of the score with overall mortality even though the association was stronger in Greece and Spain.
