Mediterranean diet adherence and self-reported psychological functioning in an Australian sample

Given the reported health benefits of a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and delay in cognitive decline, we aimed to determine the level of adherence to a MedDiet using an 11-point scale and examine relationships with cognitive function and psychological well-being.

Outcome measures included self-reported cognitive failures, memory, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, general health and physical function
