Cardiovascular Disease, Dietary Pattern, Australia.Abstract
In Australia, one of the top three causes of death is cardiovascular disease (CVD). For those who already have or are at risk for CVD, a healthy dietary pattern is a critical CVD prevention strategy. Following a diet that complies with the healthy eating guidelines of the Australian government can lower the incidence of cardiovascular disease in Australians. Thus, this study will analyze nutrient, food groups, diet pattern, socioeconomic states of Australian and how they relate to CVD risk as well as other CVD risk factors such as high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and overweight. This study found that low socioeconomic Australians are more likely to have low levels of diet and are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the majority of Australians consume nutrients and food groups that do not meet Australia's healthy eating guidelines, and long-term adherence to this unhealthy diet have a greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
