Abstract

Aim: To assess Mediterranean diet adherence and BMI in people over 40 years of age using a community pharmacy, and the influences of age, socioeconomic status and marital status. Methods: 291 people (130 men and 161 women) distributed in three age group: 40-50 years, 50- 60 years and 60-70 years. The data were collected in several community pharmacies through three questionnaires about sociodemographic factors, anthropometric measurements and adherence to Mediterranean diet. Results: According to BMI, 62.4% of people were overweight and 37.6% normal weight. The mean Mediterranean diet adherence levels were 7.8 (95% CI :7,7-7,9) in the 40-50 year range, 8.3 (95% CI : 8,1-8,5) in the 50-60 year range and 11,4 (95% CI : 11,7-11,1) in the 60-70 year range. Conclusions: There are no statistically significant differences between socioeconomic status and marital status regarding BMI or Mediterranean diet adherence. However, this is not the case when the age variable is taken into account, as people in the 40-60 year range do not follow the recommendations of food consumption for the Mediterranean diet. The highest level of adherence is in people aged 60-70 years. Using simple questionnaires community pharmacists could reveal this low adherence and give adequate nutritional advice to reinforce Mediterranean diet adherence.
