- Abstract
- A healthy lifestyle is important in the prevention and delayed progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The intent of this lifestyle management guideline review is to evaluate evidence describing particular dietary patterns, nutrient intake, and levels and types of physical activity associated with CVD risk. The recommendations of this article may be used in management of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. The proposed guidelines emphasize the importance of dietary patterns rather than individual dietary components. Dietary patterns offer the opportunity to characterize the overall composition and quality of the eating behaviors of a population, such as a Mediterranean-style diet. Dietary sodium and potassium are particularly relevant in CVD due to their effects on blood pressure, while substantial epidemiologic evidence links higher levels of aerobic physical activity to lower rates of CVD and other chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This indicates that weight loss and maintenance are critical for prevention and control of CVD risk factors.
