A systemic review and meta-analysis of 16 studies indicated that women who followed a Mediterranean diet more closely were associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Women with higher adherence to the diet were less likely to die of heart disease or develop coronary heart disease. Stroke incidence in women was also lower in this population, but researchers said it was not statistically significant.
