and lifestyle: "long-held belief that people in the Mediterranean enjoy more healthy diets and lifestyles has been questioned by a Spanish study.'Cardiovascular diseases account for 33 per cent of deaths in Spain, making it the main cause of mortality in the country,' said Ricardo Gomez-Huelgas from the Internal Medicine Department at Hospital Carlos Haya, Malaga.
The study was carried out on a random selection of 2,270 adults attending a healthcare centre in Malaga, Andalucia. The participants ranged from 18 to 80, with an average of just under 44 years, 50.3 per cent were female and 58 per cent had low educational levels."
