Introduction: A ‘Mediterranean’ dietary (MD) pattern has been associated with lower cardiovascular mortality, but the reasons for benefit are uncertain. Hypothesis: Greater adherence to a MD pattern is associated with more favorable cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: Associations between a MD pattern and cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated at the baseline assessment in 15,482 (97.8%) patients with chronic coronary heart disease from 39 countries who participated in the STabilisation of Atherosclerotic plaque By Initiation of darapLadIb TherapY (STABILITY) trial. From a food frequency questionnaire a Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) was calculated by assigning points for more consumption of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, legumes, fish and alcohol, and for less consumption of meat (0 to 4 points in each food category). Cardiovascular risk factors at baseline are reported by approximate quartiles of MDS. Results: See table. For all risk factors p was <0.0001 for differences by MDS group. Conclusions: In a global population of patients with stable CHD greater adherence to a MD pattern was associated with less obesity, less hypertension, improved glucose tolerance and less inflammation.

AbstractThe associations of serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations as well as other cardiovascular risk factors were investigated in relation to the existence and severity of coronary heart disease (CHD) in 260 clinically stable, angiographically defined CHD patients aged 40–70years. The subjects were classified as CHD
