Adherence to emerging plant-based dietary patterns and its association with cardiovascular disease risk in a nationally representative sample of Canadian adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about the role of emerging plant-based dietary patterns in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk at the national population level.

Objectives

The objectives of this research were to assess the validity and reliability of newly established plant-based dietary indices, and to evaluate their associations with CVD risk among Canadian adults.

Methods

Data were obtained from repeated 24-h dietary recalls of adult participants in the cross-sectional, nationally representative Canadian Community Health Survey cycle 2004 linked to health administrative databases (n = 12,323) and cycle 2015 (n = 14,026). Plant-based diet quality was assessed with a revised Plant-based Dietary Index (PDI), EAT-Lancet Reference Diet (ERD) score, and the latest Dietary Guide
