Risk Factors for CHD:
The Framingham Heart Study
Major Risk Factors
“Important” Risk Factors
Cigarette Smoking
Hypertension*
High Total Serum Cholesterol*
Low HDL Cholesterol*
Diabetes Mellitus*
Obesity*
Physical Inactivity
Family Hx of Premature CHD
Hypertriglyceridemia*
Increased Lipoprotein [a]
Increased serum homocysteine*
Abnormal levels of various
coagulation factors
Inflammatory Mediators
*Dietary factors contribute strongly to the control of or in the etiology
of these risk factors.
C-Recative Protein and CVD Risk
Role of Diet in the Modification of Blood Cholesterol Levels
Assumptions:
• Blood cholesterol [ ] is an important and modifiable risk factor
for coronary heart disease.
• Sustained reduction of total cholesterol [ ] of 1% is associated
with a 2-3% reduction in the incidence of coronary heart disease.

Systematic review of dietary intervention trials to lower blood total cholesterol in free-living subjects.
New Features of ATP III
Focus on Multiple Risk Factors
• Diabetes: CHD risk equivalent
• Framingham projections of 10-year
CHD risk
– Identify certain patients with multiple
risk
factors for more intensive
treatment
• Multiple metabolic risk factors
(metabolic syndrome)
New Features of ATP III (continued)
Modification of Lipid and Lipoprotein
Classification
• LDL cholesterol <100 mg/dL—optimal
• HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dL
– Categorical risk factor
– Raised from <35 mg/dL
• Lower triglyceride classification cut points
– More attention to moderate elevations
New Features of ATP III (continued)
New Recommendation for
Screening/Detection
• Complete lipoprotein profile preferred
– Fasting total cholesterol, LDL, HDL,
triglycerides
• Secondary option
– Non-fasting total cholesterol and HDL
– Proceed to lipoprotein profile if TC 200
mg/dL or HDL <40 mg/dL
New Features of ATP III (continued)
More Intensive Lifestyle Intervention
(Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes = TLC)
• Therapeutic diet lowers saturated fat and
cholesterol intakes to levels of previous Step
II
• Adds dietary options to enhance LDL
lowering
– Plant stanols/sterols (2 g/d)
– Viscous (soluble) fiber (10–25 g/d)
• Increased emphasis on weight management
New Features of ATP III (continued)
New strategies for Promoting Adherence
In both:
• Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC)
• Drug therapies
New Features of ATP III (continued)
• For patients with triglycerides 200 mg/dL
– LDL cholesterol: primary target of therapy
– Non-HDL cholesterol: secondary target of
therapy
Non HDL-C = total cholesterol – HDL
cholesterol
ATP III Guidelines
Therapeutic Lifestyle
Changes (TLC)
Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes in
LDL-Lowering Therapy
Major Features
• TLC Diet
– Reduced intake of cholesterol-raising nutrients (same as
previous Step II Diet)
• Saturated fats <7% of total calories
• Dietary cholesterol <200 mg per day
– LDL-lowering therapeutic options
• Plant stanols/sterols (2 g per day)
• Viscous (soluble) fiber (10–25 g per day)
• Weight reduction
• Increased physical activity

Secondary Target of Therapy

Physicians Health Study
Hennekens et al. (1996) N Engl J Med 334:1145.
•
22,071 male physicians randomized to alternate-day
ß-carotene (50 mg), aspirin (325 mg), both active
treatments, or both placebos.
•
Aspirin component terminated early (1988) due to
statistically extreme 44% reduction in risk of first
myocardial infarction.
•
After 12 years of treatment with ßC, there was no
effect on any CA endpoint, MI, stroke, or CHD
deaths.
Vitamin E Supplementation and CHD
•
Evidence from prospective trials (Physicians Health
Study, Nurses Health Study) showed ~40% reduction
in CHD incidence with > 2 yrs intake of >100 I.U. AT.
•
The Iowa Women’s Health Study showed that vitamin E
content in FOOD, not supplements, was inversely
associated with risk of death from CHD (lowest vs.
highest quintile of consumption: RR= 0.38;p=0.004)
Cambridge Heart Antioxidant Study

Negative Effector: High Fat Diets
Frequent nut consumption and risk ofcoronary heart disease
in women: prospective cohort study
Frank B Hu et al. Harvard University School of Public Health
BMJ 1998;317:1341-1345 ( 14 November )
After adjusting for age, smoking, and other known
risk factors for CHD:
Women consuming > five ounces of nuts a week
(frequent consumption)
vs.
women who never ate nuts or who ate < one ounce a month
(rare consumption)
had a significantly lower risk of total coronary heart disease
(RR = 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.47 to 0.89, P for
trend=0.0009).
The magnitude of risk reduction was similar for both
fatal coronary heart disease (0.61, 0.35 to 1.05, P for trend=0.007)
& non-fatal MI (0.68, 0.47 to1.00, P for trend=0.04).
Further adjustment for intakes of dietary fats, fibre,
vegetables, and fruits did not alter these results.
The inverse association persisted in subgroups
stratified by levels of smoking, use of alcohol, use of
multivitamin and vitamin E supplements, body mass index,
exercise, and intake of vegetables or fruits.
Key messages
Nuts are high in fat, but most of the fatty acids are unsaturated
This study suggests that frequent consumption of nuts,
including peanuts, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease
This protective effect may be partly mediated through serum
lipids because unsaturated fats have benefical effects on
serum lipids. Other potentially protective constituents include
vegetable protein, magnesium, vitamin E, fibre, and potassium
Nuts can be included as part of a healthy diet
Lyon Diet Heart Study
(de Lorgeril et al., Arch Int Med 158: 1181-1187)
• Randomized secondary prevention trial;
• 605 patients with coronary artery disease
randomized to either a Meditarranean-type
diet or control (A.H.A. Step 1-like) diet;
• After ~ 4 years of follow-up, Cox
proportional hazards model was used to
estimate risk ratios for cancer, total or
cardiac death, combined total death,
nonfatal cancer, and nonfatal MI.
