Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Evidence suggests that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) may reduce risk. Other aspects of the diet that are associated with lower risk of CHD include increased consumption of fatty fish and of n-3 polyunsaturated fats (n-3 PUFA), as well as of fruit, vegetables, and whole grain cereals. By contrast, diets with a high content of salt, trans fats, processed meat, and added sugar can increase the risk of CHD. A Mediterranean diet is protective. Obesity is an important risk factor, while physical activity lowers risk.
