Title: MEDISTAR STUDY: Mediterranean Diet and Smoking in Tarragona and Reus
Brief Summary: Several studies have shown the influence of the eating pattern on lung function. However, the benefits of the Mediterranean diet (DiMet) in preventing pulmonary dysfunction are not well known.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of adherence to DiMet on the deterioration of lung function in smokers.

Methodology: Design: Controlled, parallel, multicenter, cluster-randomized clinical trial. Participants: 566 active smokers with a cumulative consumption of more than 10 packets a year, within 25 to 75 year-old age group, without previous respiratory disease and who agree with the conditions of the study and sign an informed consent . Scope: 20 Primary Care Centers managed by the Catalan Health Institutes in Tarragona that will be randomly assigned to a control or an intervention group (1: 1). Intervention: During 2 years a nutritional intervention will be carried out to increase adherence to DiMet based on: 1) annual visit of personalized nutritional education, 2) annual telephone contact for intervention reinforcement, and 3) computer access to a dietary block designed ad hoc. The control group will follow their usual diet style. All participants will receive advice to quit smoking. It will be evaluated: a) pulmonary function by forced spirometry and b) adherence to the DiMet with a questionnaire of 14 items and biological determinations. Statistical analysis: For intention to treat. The unit of analysis will be the individual smoker. Parameters of pulmonary function and adherence to the DiMet of both groups will be compared.

Expected results: DiMet prevents the appearance of altered lung function in smokers without previous respiratory pathology. Thus, DiMet will be key in pulmonary prevention, together with the fundamental recommendation of smoking cessation.
