What is the relationship between Dietary Patterns and Cardiometabolic Outcomes?
A recent umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses suggests that dietary patterns are associated with cardiometabolic outcomes such as stroke and cardiovascular disease. Prospective studies have shown that diets high in potassium, salt, and Mediterranean foods may reduce the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, lifestyle interventions such as exercise and smoking cessation have been shown to reduce the risk of vascular events after stroke or transient ischemic attack.
