Boateng D, et al. - In this study involving Ghanaian adults in Ghana and Europe, researchers used Poisson regression with robust variance to evaluate the associations of dietary patterns (DPs) with estimated 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. Based on intake frequencies obtained via a self-administered Food Propensity Questionnaire in the Research on Obesity and Diabetes among African Migrants study, they derived three DPs (“mixed”; “rice, pasta, meat, and fish”; and “roots, tubers, and plantain”) using principal component analysis. For 2,976 subjects (aged 40–70 years), they estimated the 10-year ASCVD risk using the Pooled Cohort Equations. “Elevated” ASCVD risk was defined as a risk score of ≥ 7.5%. In adults in urban Ghana, an attenuation in the predicted 10-year ASCVD risk was observed in relation to adherence to “mixed” and “rice, pasta, meat, and fish” DPs. Findings also revealed a direct association of a “roots, tubers, and plantain” DP with increased 10-year ASCVD risk.
