Summary

This article is behind a paywall. It has been included in the database and summarized below solely based on the content of the abstract.

Health and dietary data from 2,088 respondents representative of Canadians aged 40-70 years were analyzed to examine the association between prevalent dietary patterns and 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and cardiovascular age gap (CAG). The mean 10-year ASCVD risk was 6.9%. For CAG, the mean estimate of men’s hearts was 4.1 years older than their chronological age whereas the mean for women was 0.4 years younger. The “high carbohydrate and protein” pattern increased ASCVD risk. The “healthy-like” pattern reduced risk for CAG and “fast food” pattern increased the risk. The authors suggest that interventions promoting healthy diets may reduce ASCVD risk in Canada.
