Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Diet and eating patterns play a crucial role in influencing health outcomes. Research emphasizes the importance of studying dietary patterns as a whole rather than focusing on individual food components, as they can significantly affect health through synergistic interactions. Studies have shown that adherence to healthy diet patterns such as the Mediterranean or DASH diets can lead to improved cardiovascular health by positively modifying lipid profiles, reducing obesity, and influencing the gut microbiota, potentially lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases and prolonging life.

This Special Issue welcomes research articles and reviews focused on the effects of dietary patterns, the roles of specific nutrients such as dietary lipids or proteins in the diet, and dietary interventions impacts on cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, studies that focus on brain health are also welcome, as healthy diets are also important for maintaining optimal brain function and preventing mental disorders.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.

Background: The protective effect of a healthy diet combined with stair climbing on cardiovascular health is unclear. We aimed to assess the independent and joint associations of dietary patterns and stair climbing with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Methods: We included 117,384 participants with information on dietary intake and stair climbing from the UK Biobank (UKBB). We excluded participants with MACEs at baseline and death within two years of follow-up. We used restricted cubic spline (RCS) plots describing the linear or nonlinear associations between dietary patterns (the alternate Mediterranean diet score (AMED), dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH), the healthful planted-based diet index (HPDI) and the alternate healthy eating index-2010 (AHEI-2010)) and stair climbing and MACEs. COX regressions estimated the hazard ratios (HRs) for incident MACEs associated with dietary patterns combined with stair climbing, and adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle and medical factors. Results: The UKBB documented 9408 MACEs over a median follow-up of 13.3 years. Four dietary patterns were negatively and linearly associated with MACEs (P-nonlinear > 0.05), whereas daily stair climbing was negatively and nonlinearly associated with MACEs (P-nonlinear = 0.011). All of the dietary patterns had significant multiplicative interactions with stair climbing (all p-values < 0.05). The three dietary patterns had the lowest risk ratios for MACEs in the highest tertile (T3) combined with daily stair climbing of 60–100 steps (AMED: 0.78 (0.68, 0.89), DASH: 0.80 (0.70, 0.91) and HPDI: 0.86 (0.75, 0.98)), whereas the AHEI-2010 had the lowest HRs for MACEs in the T1 combined with stair climbing of 110–150 steps (AHEI-2010: 0.81 (0.71, 0.93)). Conclusions: Maintaining healthy dietary patterns and adhering to an average of 60–100 steps of stair climbing per day at home can be effective in preventing cardiovascular health-related events.
