We prospectively evaluated the association between quality of plant-based diets and 10-year first fatal/non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence.
ATTICA study was conducted in the greater metropolitan Athens area, Greece, during 2001-2002 studying men and women (aged > 18 years old) free of CVD at baseline. Follow-up CVD assessment (2011-2012) was achieved in n = 2,020 participants (n = 317 cases). Dietary assessment was based on a validated semi-quantitative paper-based food frequency questionnaire. Overall, healthful, and unhealthful plant-based dietary indices (PDI, hPDI and uPDI) were calculated through a standard published procedure. The association between plant-based indices and CVD outcome has been evaluated via Cox regression analysis.
The CVD event rate was 15.7% (n = 317) with a median follow-up time of 8.41 years. The highest (3 PDI tertile) vs. lowest (1st tertile) adherence to plant-based pattern-irrespective to healthfulness of food products consumed-was inversely associated with CVD (hazard ratio (HR) 0.56; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.14, 2.25) yet the CI was wide. Ranking from 1st to 2nd and 3rd hPDI tertile the CVD event rate was 6.4%, 10.5% and 16.2%, respectively (p = 0.003). Multi-variable adjusted analysis revealed that participants assigned in 2nd and 3rd hPDI tertile had 47% (HR 0.53; 95% CI 0.25-1.08) and 68% (HR 0.32; 95% CI 0.16-0.63) lower risk to develop CVD compared with their 1st tertile counterparts. Conversely, a positive association between uPDI and CVD risk was revealed in dose-response analysis (HR 1.34; 95% CI 0.95-2.37)).
Quality of plant-based diets is important and needs to be considered, as not all plant-source foods have beneficial cardiovascular effects.
我们前瞻性地评估了植物性饮食质量与 10 年首次致命/非致命心血管疾病(CVD)发病率之间的关联。
ATTICA 研究于 2001-2002 年在希腊大雅典都会区进行,研究对象为基线时无 CVD 的男性和女性(年龄>18 岁)。在 n=2020 名参与者(n=317 例)中进行了后续的 CVD 评估(2011-2012 年)。饮食评估基于经过验证的半定量纸质食物频率问卷。通过标准的已发表程序计算出整体健康的、不健康的植物性饮食指数(PDI、hPDI 和 uPDI)。通过 Cox 回归分析评估了植物性饮食指数与 CVD 结局之间的关系。
CVD 事件发生率为 15.7%(n=317),中位随访时间为 8.41 年。最高(3 个 PDI 三分位)与最低(1 个三分位)的植物性饮食模式依从性——无论所摄入的食物产品的健康程度如何——与 CVD 呈负相关(危险比(HR)0.56;95%置信区间(95%CI)0.14,2.25),但 CI 较宽。从第 1 位到第 2 位和第 3 位 hPDI 三分位,CVD 事件发生率分别为 6.4%、10.5%和 16.2%(p=0.003)。多变量调整分析显示,与第 1 三分位相比,第 2 三分位和第 3 三分位的参与者 CVD 发病风险分别降低了 47%(HR 0.53;95%CI 0.25-1.08)和 68%(HR 0.32;95%CI 0.16-0.63)。相反,在剂量反应分析中,uPDI 与 CVD 风险呈正相关(HR 1.34;95%CI 0.95-2.37)。
植物性饮食的质量很重要,需要加以考虑,因为并非所有植物源食物都对心血管有有益的影响。
