At the end of the 1950s the Seven Countries Study was designed to investigate the relations between diet and cardiovascular diseases. Sixteen cohorts were selected in Finland, Greece, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, United States, and Yugoslavia. During the 1960s food consumption data were collected from random samples of these cohorts by use of the record method. In Finland the intake of milk, potatoes, edible fats, and sugar products was very high. A similar but lower intake pattern was observed in The Netherlands. Fruit, meat, and pastry consumption was high in the United States; cereal and alcoholic drink consumption was high in Italy; and bread consumption high in Yugoslavians except for those in Belgrade. In Greece the intake of olive oil and fruit was high and the Japanese cohorts were characterized by a high consumption of fish, rice, and soy products. These differences in food consumption patterns have lessened during the past 25 y.
20世纪50年代末开展了七国研究，旨在调查饮食与心血管疾病之间的关系。在芬兰、希腊、意大利、日本、荷兰、美国和南斯拉夫选取了16个队列。20世纪60年代，通过记录法从这些队列的随机样本中收集食物消费数据。在芬兰，牛奶、土豆、食用脂肪和糖制品的摄入量非常高。在荷兰观察到类似但较低的摄入模式。在美国，水果、肉类和糕点的消费量很高；在意大利，谷物和酒精饮料的消费量很高；在南斯拉夫，除了贝尔格莱德的居民外，面包消费量很高。在希腊，橄榄油和水果的摄入量很高，而日本队列的特点是鱼类、大米和豆制品的消费量很高。在过去25年里，这些食物消费模式上的差异已经减小。
