Association between dietary pattern, atherogenic index of plasma, and cardiovascular disease risk factors amongst adults: A cross-sectional cohort-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

This study aims to examine the association between dietary patterns, the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), and cardiovascular risk factors in adults aged 40-70 years in southern Iran.

Methods and results

Participants' dietary patterns were assessed using a Food Frequency Questionnaire with 35 food groups. Dietary patterns were categorized using Principal Component Analysis into three groups: Vegan, Western, and Carbohydrate-based. AIP was calculated as the log (triglycerides/HDL-C), and cardiovascular risk was assessed using a standard prediction model. Participants were classified based on their adherence to dietary patterns, and their cardiovascular risk was assessed. A total of 1,675 participants were included (mean age 53.4 ± 8.3 years; 43.5% men). T
