- Dietary nutrients can significantly affect the risk of cardiovascular diseases, with variations observed across different countries, and this study focuses on coronary artery disease (CAD) risks in the Nepalese population.
- Conducted at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center, the study evaluated dietary intake of 612 respondents and found that higher intakes of certain nutrients like saturated fatty acids, total fat/oil, and cholesterol positively correlate with CAD, while β-carotene and vitamin C show an inverse relationship.
- The study's findings suggest that specific dietary interventions could help prevent CAD in Nepal, although further research like prospective cohort studies is needed to establish stronger connections between these nutrients and CAD in the population.
