“…Incorporating non-hydrogenated unsaturated fatty acids as the predominant form of fat (i.e. cutting back on saturates and avoiding trans fatty acids), whole grains as the main form of carbohydrate, an abundance of fruits and vegetables, adequate omega-3 fatty acids and not too much salt can offer significant protection against CVD (Stanner 2005). Such diets, together with regular physical activity, sensible drinking habits, avoidance of smoking and maintenance of a healthy bodyweight, may prevent the majority of CVD in Western populations.…”

Life expectancy is increasing around the world, and this is likely to have profound effects on many aspects of society, particularly if these extra years are to be associated with ill health. In the UK, for example, lifespan is increasing at the rate of 2 years for each decade, and over 16% of the population are now aged 65 years or over. Ageing is an integral, natural part of life but the way in which we grow old, our health and functional ability all depend not only on our genetic make-up, but also on the lifestyle choices we have made over our lifetime. Evidence linking dietary and lifestyle factors throughout the life course with healthy ageing is emerging and has been reviewed in-depth by a British Nutrition Foundation Task Force comprising of experts in the field and chaired by Professor John Mathers. This article summarises some of the findings of Task Force's Report by discussing the effect of diet and lifestyle on common chronic diseases in later life, namely cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and arthritis, and on promoting healthy mental ageing and good oral health.

“…1999). However, there are currently few studies that have investigated the acute effects of specific fatty acids on postprandial haemostatic factors, and more studies in this area together with the mechanisms linking dietary fat and haemostatic factors were recommended by the BNF Task Force Report as a priority for future research (Stanner 2005).…”

“…There is currently much interest in endothelial function, which was highlighted as a major emerging risk factor in the BNF Task Force Report (Stanner 2005). Evidence is now emerging to suggest that postprandial lipaemia may have a detrimental effect on the vascular endothelium, which will have subsequent effects on CHD risk.…”

“…However, a high proportion of the risk of CHD remains unexplained and recent research has focused on identifying novel risk factors to improve risk estimates and these include: high C‐reactive protein, a variety of measures of haemostatic function, arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, inflammatory markers and an exaggerated postprandial lipaemic response following a fat‐rich meal. The evidence for emerging risk factors for CHD and their relationship with diet is the subject of the recently published report by the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) Task Force on Cardiovascular Disease (Stanner 2005), which gives a detailed and comprehensive review of cardiovascular disease, classical and emerging risk factors and dietary links. Chapters in the report particularly relevant to this review include Chapter 3 on lipids by F. Karpe and Chapter 6 on the haemostatic system by G. Miller and R. Bruckdorfer.…”

Postprandial lipaemia – the influence of diet and its link to coronary heart disease

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and dietary fat intake is one of the major environmental risk factors implicated in its causation. In the drive to prevent CHD, much attention has focused on reducing the amount of energy derived from fat in the diet. However, little attention has been given to the amount of fat consumed in an individual meal and its postprandial effects. Postprandial lipaemia is the term used to describe the series of metabolic events that occur following the consumption of a fatty meal. The extent of postprandial lipaemia is indicated by the size or duration of the increase in plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations. There is evidence to indicate that exaggerated postprandial lipaemia is linked to an increased risk of CHD. There are several mechanisms by which it may influence the pathological processes that result in CHD, including effects on lipoproteins involved in atherosclerosis and acute effects on haemostatic function . The postprandial response to dietary fat is influenced by non-dietary factors (such as age, gender and activity level) as well as background diet and the amount and type of fat consumed in a meal. This review focuses on the mechanisms linking postprandial lipaemia and CHD risk and the factors affecting the level of postprandial lipaemia.

Background-The metabolic syndrome (MeS) is a clustering of a group of metabolic risk factors in one person that predisposes to higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type II diabetes. The metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common in the United States. With the increase in CVD morbidity and mortality among US adult populations, particularly African Americans, it becomes urgent to monitor and control metabolic syndrome in an effort to inform effective CVD prevention programs. We sought to assess the prevalence of and predictors of MeS syndrome in an urban, high risk, predominantly African American hypertensive population.
