Abstract

Objective: Globally, CVD is the major cause of death. Improving diet and lifestyle can prevent the rapidly increasing burden of CVD. The present review aims to present the existing literature published regarding the role of diet and risk factors in the prevention of heart diseases limited to time frame from 2011 to 2022. Methods: Both quantitative such as cross sectional, correlation, retrospective case control, prospective cohort studies and qualitative studies are included in this review to gain an in-depth understanding of the dietary choices that increases the risk of CVD. The present review included a total of 45 studies. Among them, 15 studies were regarding dietary patterns of heart patients, 24 articles related to risk factors and 6 related to knowledge of risk factors among heart patients. Results: Numerous epidemiological researches had emphasized that by adopting healthy practices, like choosing a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetable, fish and low in trans-fat, saturated fat, refined carbohydrates, sugar-sweetened beverages, sodium can reduce the risk of getting heart diseases. There are numerous risk factors that can contribute to heart diseases. These include both nutrition and lifestyle factors. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to educate public on nutritional issues, provide diet plans according to cost and cultural preferences, design health programs, conduct awareness seminars and counseling of CVD patients on dietary habits & physical activity mandatory for a healthy life. It is a major challenge to reduce these risks factors on both global and national level. Government, policymakers and communities should take preventive measures to reduce this huge burden of diseases.
