Abstract: The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is a key element in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Objective: to analyse the degree of adherence to DM and its effect on atheromatosis, obesity and biochemical parameters. Methods: Work conducted with the study ILERVAS - EL BUS DE LA SALUT (randomized longitudinal clinical trial) where the study variables were: vascular ultrasound, clinical, anthropometric, biochemical parameters and degree of adherence to MD. Results. 8214 individuals (50.7% women; median age: 57 years). 37.2% were obese (BMI ¿30 kg / m2) and 68.2% had abdominal obesity (abdominal circumference: women ¿88 cm; men ¿102 cm). Men had more overweight (men: 45.6% vs women: 38.1%) and women had more abdominal obesity (women: 85.5% vs men: 50.3%); p <0.001.Adherence to MD was: 53.2% moderate, 40.5% low, and 6.3% high. Women showed a higher adherence (women: 7.3% vs men 5.3%; p <0.001). Moderate adherence was associated with lower prevalence of atheromatosis (Moderate: 70.4% vs Low: 73.3%; p ¿0.04). Adherence to MD showed a negative correlation with atheromatous burden, BMI, abdominal circumference, renal markers and uric acid (Rho: -0.061; -0.039; -0.061; - 0.078, -0,046, respectively; p <0.001). In contrast, it showed a positive correlation with total cholesterol and HDL-C (Rho: 0.038; 0.142, respectively; p <0.01). Conclusions. Women showed a higher adherence to MD. MD showed beneficial effects on atheromatosis, obesity, HDL-C and renal function.
