Autres pays, autres coeurs? Dietary patterns, risk factors and ischaemic heart disease in Belfast and Toulouse.

چکیده
The WHO MONICA project monitors trends and determinants in cardiovascular disease to relate classical risk factor changes to trends in incidence rates. The Belfast and Toulouse MONICA centres have also collaborated in dietary studies. Both centres have validated incidence and attack rates for ischaemic heart disease using coronary event registration. These data confirm that the disease in middle-aged men is between three and four times as common in Belfast as in Toulouse. Risk factor surveys show some differences between the centres, but the overall risks assessed by two multiple logistic function scoring systems were identical. A weighed dietary survey revealed no important difference in macronutrient intake, although carbohydrate and saturated fat intake in Belfast was significantly higher. Protein, dietary cholesterol and polyunsaturated fat, particularly linoleic acid intake, was significantly higher in Toulouse, as was consumption of wine, cheese, fruit and vegetables, but not potatoes. The Northern Irish diet is typically Northern European, but although the diet in Toulouse has some features of the Mediterranean diet, it is not appreciably different from that in Belfast in terms of total fat intake. Major differences are present for several food items, and in general these differences add support to the antioxidant hypothesis.

Patterns of alcohol consumption and ischaemic heart disease in culturally divergent countries: the Prospective Epidemiological Study of Myocardial Infarction (PRIME)
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of alcohol intake patterns on ischaemic heart disease in two countries with contrasting lifestyles, Northern Ireland and France. DESIGN Cohort data from the Prospective Epidemiological Study of Myocardial Infarction (PRIME) were analysed. Weekly alcohol consumption, incidence of binge drinking (alcohol >50 g on at least one day a week), incidence of regular...

The risk factors identified with cardiovascular disease studied in the WHO MONICA project have been shown to have a limited relationship with the coronary heart disease mortality rates between centres, and in mirroring the historical rise and decline in deaths from the disease. Here we show that correlation of the calculated consumption of the milk protein, beta-casein A1 (excluding milk protei...

The relative importance of systolic blood pressure (SBP) versus diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in predicting the risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality is controversial. We have re-examined SBP compared to D BP and other combinations of SBP and D BP in predicting the risk of IHD mortality in a long-term cohort study oflO,541 men and women in the West of Scotland. During a mean fo...
