Description
Introduction: Dietary patterns have been studied for their influence on the
burden of disease in patients with SLE. The Mediterranean diet has been
shown to be beneficial in lowering chronic inflammation, but no study has
summarized its effect on SLE. This article aims to review the association
between the Mediterranean diet and SLE.
Methods: A literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases were searched using
the keywords Mediterranean diet and SLE. Articles published in English
between 2013 and 2023 were included. The initial search yielded 526
records, which were narrowed down to five studies for final inclusion. A
narrative synthesis approach was used to analyze the impact of the
Mediterranean diet on SLE disease activity.
Results: Five cross-sectional studies were included, with a total of 1,165
participants. The studies used the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and
the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College
of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index (SDI) as outcome
measurements. Three of the five studies found that higher adherence to the
Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower burden of SLE, as
measured by reduced SLEDAI and SDI scores. One study found no
association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and SLEDAI or
SDI scores, while another study found no association between adherence
and the risk of developing SLE.
Conclusion: High adherence to a Mediterranean diet may help reduce the
damage caused by SLE. Further cohort studies or clinical trials are needed
to investigate the impact of diet on SLE.
