| Popis: | AIM This study aimed to investigate effects of a six-week Mediterranean diet (MD) intervention on gingival inflammatory and anthropometric parameters of patients with gingivitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two participants were allocated to MD group (MDG) or control group (CG). After a two weeks equilibration period regarding dental care procedures, only MDG changed their diet to MD for six weeks, supported by a diet counseling. Gingival and anthropometric parameters were assessed at baseline (T0), Week 2 (T1, beginning of MD intervention), and Week 8 (T2). Adherence to MD was assessed by the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS), dietary behavior was evaluated by the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults Food Frequency Questionnaire (DEGS-FFQ). RESULTS Plaque values remained constant in both groups. Inflammatory periodontal and anthropometric parameters decreased in the MDG only (gingival index: T1 1.51±0.21, T2 1.49±0.24; bleeding on probing: T1 51.00±14.65, T2 39.93±13.74; body weight: T1 79.01±15.62, T2 77.29±17.00; waist circumference: T1 84.41±10.1, T2 83.17±10.47 (p |
