Dietary carbohydrate quality, fibre-rich food intake, and left ventricular structure and function: the CARDIA study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Identifying lifestyle risk factors related to abnormal cardiac phenotypes, including structure and function, will be essential to prevent or slow down the progression to heart failure. Little is known about intakes of macronutrients and food groups, particularly carbohydrate (CHO) quality and fibre-rich foods, relative to cardiac phenotypes. Therefore, the association between CHO quality and cardiac phenotypes was examined in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study.

Methods

Trained interviewers conducted the CARDIA Diet History to gather dietary intake at exam years 0, 7, and 20. Cardiac phenotype measures were collected at exam years 25 and 30 via echocardiography. Linear mixed effects regression models were used to evaluate t
