The epidemiologic relationship between dietary intake and coronary heart disease (CHD) is reviewed by presenting the findings of the major large national and international cohort studies. There is considerable heterogeneity in the results from these studies because of the many differences in design, sample population, and analysis. Dietary intervention studies, which have numerous limitations, likewise have reported discrepant results, although short-term dietary changes do appear to reduce the likelihood of CHD progression. Although proof is lacking that the currently recommended prudent dietary patterns reduce the incidence or severity of CHD, healthy dietary choices are both inexpensive and safe and are supported by a foundation of sound biological principles.
通过展示主要的大型国内和国际队列研究结果，对饮食摄入与冠心病（CHD）之间的流行病学关系进行了综述。由于这些研究在设计、样本人群和分析方面存在诸多差异，其结果存在相当大的异质性。饮食干预研究有许多局限性，同样报告了不一致的结果，尽管短期饮食改变似乎确实会降低冠心病进展的可能性。虽然缺乏证据表明目前推荐的谨慎饮食模式可降低冠心病的发病率或严重程度，但健康的饮食选择既便宜又安全，且有可靠的生物学原理作为基础。
