Prospective association between several dietary scores and risk of cardiovascular diseases: Is the Mediterranean diet equally associated to CVD compared to National Nutritional Scores?
American Heart Journal Jul 30, 2019
Trébuchet A, et al. - The correlation between several nutritional scores and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases was prospectively investigated via following 94,113 participants from the NutriNet-Santé cohort from 2009 to 2018. During the first two-years of follow-up, completion of at least three 24-hour dietary records by participants was reported to compute nutritional scores reflecting adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MEDI-LITE), American dietary guidelines (AHEI-2010), and French dietary guidelines. Computation of sex-specific quartiles (Q) of scores was also done. Researchers identified nearly 1,400 incident cardiovascular diseases (CVD) events during follow-up (mean follow-up: 5.4 years). For the MEDI-LITE and AHEI-2010, hazard ratio were 0.79 and 0.75, respectively, when Q4 vs Q1 quartiles were compared. The analysis thereby suggested an overall lower risk of CVD in relation to better nutritional diet quality.
