Wirth J, et al. - In a total of 43,635 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study—an ongoing prospective cohort study of US health professionals—researchers assessed the link between three diet-quality scores corresponding to adherence to healthy diet patterns (alternate Mediterranean [aMed], Alternate Healthy Eating Index [AHEI-2010], Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension [DASH]) and the risk of symptomatic gallstone disease. Study participants were free of symptomatic gallstone disease and diabetes, and provided dietary information every 4 years from 1986 (baseline) to 2012. The investigators found that higher adherence to the aMed, AHEI-2010, and DASH diets were associated with a lower risk of symptomatic gallstone disease. They suggested that dietary interventions with a focus on high-quality diets targeting symptomatic gallstone may decrease the incidence of gallstone disease.
