The association between dietary patterns and cardio vascular disease risk indicators in healthy youngsters: Results covering fifteen years of longitudinal development

Article Abstract:

The association between dietary patterns and risk indicators for cardio vascular disease (CVD) during adolescence and young adulthood was studied for fifteen years. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, serum lipids and sum of skin folds were used as CVD risk indicators. With an increase in age, saturated fat and cholesterol intake result to increased risk for CVD while intake of poly-unsaturated fat corresponds to a decrease in CVD risk. The inverse relation between total energy intake and body fat is partly explained by the relation between EN and maximal aerobic power.
