Swedish researchers examined the potential effects of a healthy Mediterranean diet on the risks of hip fracture. They believed that a person’s level of commitment to this heart-friendly diet could affect the chances of that person ending up with a fractured hip in the future.
The Swedish Research Council supported this study, and the findings were published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
The results of the Swedish review indicate that the risk of developing hip fractures could be decreased and managed by taking up a Mediterranean diet and strictly adhering to it.
