Assessment of Dietary Patterns and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract

Gizem Corella*

Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with modifiable lifestyle factors, including diet, playing a significant role in its development and progression. This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the association between dietary patterns and the risk of cardiovascular disease. A diverse cohort of participants was followed over [insert duration] to evaluate their dietary habits and incidence of cardiovascular events. Dietary patterns were derived using data from food frequency questionnaires and analyzed in relation to CVD risk using Cox proportional hazards models. Our findings indicate that adherence to a healthy dietary pattern, characterized by high intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Conversely, adherence to a Western dietary pattern, characterized by high intake of processed meats, sugary beverages, and refined grains, is associated with an increased risk of CVD. These results underscore the importance of dietary interventions in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and provide valuable insights for public health initiatives aimed at promoting heart-healthy eating habits.
