PURPOSE: This study aimed to study adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) by patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
METHODS: An observational study was conducted to assess adherence to the MedDiet by patients with POAG. Patients attended the Ophthalmology Department of the General Hospital of Athens "Georgios Gennimatas" in Athens, Greece. The study included completing an 11-item questionnaire validated by Panagiotakos et al. in person.
RESULTS: A total of 355 volunteers successfully completed the questionnaires, 168 patients in the control group and 187 patients with glaucoma. In men with glaucoma, adherence to the MedDiet was low in 14 patients (14%), moderate in 67 (67%), and high in 19 (19%) cases. In women with glaucoma, adherence was low in 17 patients (19.5%), moderate in 52 (60%), and high in 18 (20.7%) cases. The overall adhesion to the MedDiet by patients with glaucoma is low in 16.6%, moderate in 63.6%, and high in 19.8% of the cases. According to the body mass index (BMI) classification, the patients categorized in the higher obesity level have lower adherence to the MedDiet (p = 0.025). Patients with glaucoma who have higher adherence to the MedDiet have lower weight, waist circumference, and fat mass (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Greek patients with POAG have moderate adherence to the MedDiet. Future research should focus on MedDiet intervention studies on glaucoma patients in order to assess its effects on modulating disease activities and processes.
