The relationship between the EAT-Lancet dietary pattern and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with established cardiovascular disease - European Journal of Nutrition

Purpose To reduce the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD), guidelines recommend adopting a more plant-based diet. The EAT-Lancet diet, which focuses on plant-based foods, is associated with a lower risk of CVD in apparently healthy people. However, the relationship in patients with established CVD is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this research was to quantify the relationship between the EAT-Lancet Healthy Reference Diet (HRD) and risk of recurrent CVD in patients with established CVD. Methods Patients with established CVD from the Utrecht Cardiovascular Cohort-Second Manifestations of ARTerial disease were studied. Dietary intake was measured using a food frequency questionnaire and the relationship between the EAT-Lancet HRD (score from 0 to 140 points) and non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke was assessed using Cox regression adjusted for age, sex, educational background, lifestyle factors, and energy intake. Results During a follow-up of 24,212 person-years 209 non-fatal vascular events occurred. The median score for the EAT-Lancet HRD was 57 out of 140 points (IQR: 41–68). After adjustment for confounders, a diet more in line with the EAT-Lancet HRD was associated with a lower risk of non-fatal vascular events (HR 0.87 (95% CI 0.79–0.96) per 10-point increase); stroke (HR 0.76 (95% CI 0.63–0.91) per 10-point increase); and a trend towards lower risk of myocardial infarction (HR 0.90 (95% CI 0.81–1.02) per 10-point increase). Conclusion In patients with established CVD, a dietary pattern more in line with the EAT-Lancet HRD is associated with a lower risk of non-fatal stroke and myocardial infarction.

Losing India’s Guardian Angels

USAID funding supported efforts to eradicate tuberculosis in India, one of the country’s deadliest diseases. Now, that money and support is gone.

Helpless in the face of the worst animal pandemic in history: African swine fever breaks out in Spain with no vaccine in sight.

There is no medicine for this disease, nor will one be available in the near future, meaning authorities and farmers will have to resort to medieval measures in the face of a plague: isolating the sick and disposing of their carcasses.

What #RFKJr misunderstands about #disease and #immunity could fill volumes. For now it's likely to fill hospitals and cemeteries.

Whopper of the Week: RFK Wants You to Fortify Your Immune System So He Can Deprive You of Modern Medicine | Defend Public Health

RFK Jr. believes that with a healthy diet, exercise, and the avoidance of environmental toxins and stresses alone, an individual can prevent disease. While these are good health practices, they are not an excuse for RFK Jr. to deny the known benefits of infectious disease prevention strategies like vaccines, antiseptics, antibiotics, and social distancing . If RFK’s misguided beliefs become policy they will make us sicker and increase rates of acute and chronic diseases and death.
