The Mediterranean Diet, as a multi-dimensional cultural element, needs different approaches in order to be investigated as an autonomous research field. From the research activity carried out in the Sixties by an American scientist, Ancel Keys, professor of the University of Minnesota, and his Seven Countries Study, the overall concept of Mediterranean Diet was born.
The study of the link between the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and the eating habits of the local populations represented the basis of the successful comparative studies of the American biologist and physiologist, comparing the medical data and dietary regimens of 14 groups of men between 40 and 59 years belonging to seven countries of three different continents (United States, Finland, Holland, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece and Japan). The Seven Countries Study, for its international multicentric structure, has become the prototype of epidemiological studies on cardiovascular diseases at the international level.
Since the publication of the Seven Countries Study of Keys it has been a flourish of studies and research paths that in recent years have focused in order to bring out the different characters of the Mediterranean Diet and to analyze this unique lifestyle that still characterizes the life of millions of people along the shores of the Mediterranean basin.

Each facet of the concept needs a specific discipline for its understanding and a holistic approach to be photographed in the best possible way.

Many of these have also started specific university courses for the protection and enhancement of the Mediterranean Diet.
