About

The association between diet and health has been identified, and a healthy diet can help prevent various cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Dietary behaviors and dietary patterns are changing, especially in developing countries; with the ever-increasing amount of processed food and changing lifestyles, people eat more foods rich in energy, fat, free sugars, and salt, but not enough in fruits, vegetables, and other dietary fibers.

CVD, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and hypertension, are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Poor dietary behaviors and patterns are risk factors for the continuing increase of CVD incidence, accounting for more than 11 million deaths.

Although there are accumulating manuscripts investigating the relationship between dietary behaviors and patterns and CVD, more high-quality evidence to support the improvement of cardiovascular health through dietary behavior is needed.

The scope of the Research Topic is the relationship between dietary behavior and heart health. We are interested in manuscripts that investigate various dietary patterns, adverse dietary behaviors, and trace elements in food associated with the occurrence or prevention of CVD. The Research Topic is an article collection of epidemiological research. Original studies, reviews, and systematic reviews/meta-analyses are welcomed.
Potential topics within this collection may include but are not limited to:

1）The relationship between different dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease.

2）Association between various components of food and heart health.

3）Diet/drinking and blood pressure.

4）The role of processed foods on cardiovascular disease risk factors.

5）The role of exercise and dietary behavior in cardiovascular disease.
