Cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes stroke, coronary heart disease, and peripheral arterial disease, contributes to the global disease burden greatly.<\/p>\n

GlobalData<\/a> (a leading data and analytics company) epidemiologists have estimated that by the end of 2023, there will be just over 5.15 million incident cases of acute ischemic stroke in men and women over the age of 18 years in the 16 major pharmaceutical markets (16MMs: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, and South Korea), and that number is expected to increase to 5.72 million by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

Some CVD risk factors are non-modifiable such as a family history of the condition; this calls for more attention and effort to be placed on reducing modifiable CVD risk factors such as dietary intake of certain food groups. <\/p>\n

To maximise the nutritional benefits of consuming a diet with healthy fats incorporated into it, the consumer needs to also pay attention to the type and quality of fat. <\/p>\n

A high intake of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which are mainly derived from oily fish, vegetable oils, and nuts, has been recommended in the primary prevention of CVD.<\/p>\n

However, knowledge to support whether specific dietary advice is needed in relation to the level of PUFA and individuals with a family history of CVD is limited; thus, Laguzzi and colleagues conducted a study, published in December 2023 in the Journal of the American Heart Association<\/em> to examine whether low PUFA intake more negatively impacts individuals with a family history of CVD than those without. <\/p>\n
