Higher intake of refined grain may increase the risk of premature coronary artery disease (PCAD), finds a new study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The findings indicate that eating refined grains was associated with increased risk of premature heart disease and whole grains consumption with reduced risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A diet that includes consuming a high amount of unhealthy and refined grains can be considered similar to consuming a diet containing a lot of unhealthy sugars and oils,” said author Mohammad Amin Khajavi Gaskarei from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the study, to be presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Middle East 2022 Together with the 13th Emirates Cardiac Society Congress, taking place in Dubai, UAE, October 7-9, 2022, the team involved 2,099 people with PCAD from hospitals with catheterization labs in different cities and ethnicities throughout Iran who underwent coronary angiography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In total, 1,168 patients with normal coronary arteries were included in the control group, while 1,369 patients with CAD with obstruction equal or above 75 per cent in at least a single coronary artery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants were given a food frequency questionnaire for dietary assessments to evaluate dietary behaviours and evaluate the association between whole grain and refined grain intake and the risk of PCAD in individuals without a prior diagnoses of heart disease.A<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After adjusting for confounders, a higher intake of refined grains was associated with an increased risk of PCAD, while whole grain intake was inversely related to reduced risk of PCAD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
