A large prospective cohort study from Sweden (N=83,147; age range, 45-79 years; mean follow-up, 17 years) demonstrated a decreased incidence of late-onset Crohn\u2019s disease in individuals who reported adherence to a modified Mediterranean diet (hazard ratio=0.42; 95%\u2009confidence interval, 0.22-0.80). The association between the Mediterranean diet and a decreased risk of developing Crohn\u2019s disease remained significant after adjustments for age, sex, education level, body mass index, or smoking. Interestingly, there was no difference in the incidence of ulcerative colitis.

COMMENT
Currently, there is no specific guideline-recommended diet for the prevention of Crohn\u2019s disease or flares in already diagnosed patients. A Mediterranean diet has numerous proven health benefits, but its impact on the development of Crohn\u2019s disease later in life was previously unknown. The findings of this large cohort study are quite encouraging; we certainly can recommend a Mediterranean diet for individuals with a family history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and advise parents of children with IBD about the benefits of a Mediterranean diet. Hopefully, the ongoing DINE-CD study will shed some light on the role of a Mediterranean diet versus that of a specific carbohydrate diet in patients with symptomatic Crohn\u2019s disease.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
