Dietary factors contribute to CVD death

So fucking what? You tell us nothing new and don't point to a diet protocol that will prevent this problem. Just generic diet recommendation crap.

Poor diet, known to be associated with risk for CVD, was associated with more than 400,000 deaths in 2015, according to results presented at the American Heart Association’s Epidemiology and Prevention/Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health Scientific Sessions.
“Our findings provide a comprehensive picture of how suboptimal diet influences [CVD] mortality in the United States and identify priorities for dietary intervention,” Ashkan Afshin, MD, MPH, MSc, ScD, acting assistant professor of global health at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, University of Washington, Seattle, told Cardiology Today.
Afshin and Patrick J. Sur, an MPH candidate at the University of Washington, examined data related to CVD-related deaths in 2015 and quantified the relationship between CVD death and suboptimal intake of 11 dietary factors: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, sugar-sweetened beverages, processed meat, seafood omega-3 fatty acids, trans fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber and sodium. Additional information regarding each dietary factor’s intake was gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Suboptimal diet among men accounted for 222,100 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 189,500-252,800) CVD deaths in 2015 vs. 193,400 deaths among women (95% UI, 161,100-226,100), according to the researchers.
The most common dietary risk factors linked to CVD-related death were low consumption of vegetables (99,530 CVD deaths [11.5%]; 95% UI, 45,370-161,100), low intake of nuts (100,460 CVD deaths [11.6%]; 95% UI, 59,690-148,480), excess sodium (77,260 CVD deaths [9%]; 95% UI, 22,760-169,690) and low consumption of whole grains (89,670 CVD deaths [10.4%]; 95% UI, 52,300-132,980).
“Other top dietary risks for [CVD] death include low intake of fruit, low intake of seafood omega-3 fatty acids and high intake of trans fats,” Afshin said.
“By understanding which specific dietary habits increase risk of [CVD] death the most, cardiologists and other clinicians can better help their patients develop tailored eating plans for themselves and their families,” he told Cardiology Today. – by Darlene Dobkowski
