Dietary quality and risk of heart failure in men.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to the increasing disease burden, strategies to predict and prevent heart failure (HF) are urgently needed.

Objective

We aimed to investigate whether the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) and the clinically abbreviated Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS) are associated with the risk of overall HF, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Methods

Our study included 44,525 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) who were free from cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. The AHEI and PDQS were computed based on dietary data repeatedly measured using semiquantitative FFQs. HF, HFpEF, and HFrEF were adjudicated based on review of medical records through 2008.
