Abstract

The Mediterranean diet (MD) refers to the dietary habits of southern European countries located on the Mediterranean coast. It is rich in various nutrients necessary for the human body and is a healthy dietary model. The research determined that the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) among Mediterranean coastal nations is notably low, underscoring the significance of investigating the underlying principles and impact of this dietary pattern on skeletal health. Nowadays, a multitude of investigations are being conducted to assess the impact of individual nutrient components on OP, but the research of comprehensively coordinating various nutrient elements and considering the actual situation in different regions is still insufficient. In this paper, the factors that are easy to induce OP are paired with various rich nutrient elements in MD one by one to provide a new way for the prevention and treatment of OP. Applying the research results of MD to other countries and regions to prevent OP is an effective way to reduce the incidence of this disease in the future.
