Dietary Intervention and Recommendations in the
Prevention of Obesity and Heart Disease
Nathan D. Wong, Ph.D., F.A.C.C.
Professor and Director
Heart Disease Prevention Program, University of California, Irvine
Dietary Effects on Lipids• Seven Countries study showed significant
correlation between saturated fat intake and blood cholesterol levels
• Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials shows lowering saturated fat and cholesterol to reduce total and LDL-C 10-15%
• For every 1% increase in intake of saturated fat, blood cholesterol increases 2 mg/dl
• Soluble fiber intake may provide additional LDL-C response over that of a low-fat diet
Dietary Effects on Thrombosis• Omega-3 fatty acids have antithrombogenic
and antiarrhythmic effects, decreased platelet aggregation, and lower triglycerides
• Eskimos’ cold water fish diet associated with prolonged bleeding times and lower rates of MI; similar findings in Japan, Netherlands, and England
• Lyon Diet-Heart Study reported increased survival following Mediterranean diet with fish and high in linolenic acid (no lipid differences seen).

Epidemiologic studies*
• Populations on diets high in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sugar have high age-adjusted CHD death rates as well as more obesity, hypercholesterolaemia, and diabetes
• The converse is also true
• What is the evidence for dietary intervention studies?
*Results from Seven Countries, 18 countries, 20 countries, 40 countries, and Ni-Hon-San Studies
Oslo Diet Heart Study• 412 men with CHD, 5 year study
• Treatment group randomized to low saturated fat (8.4% of calories), low cholesterol (264 mg/day), high polyunsaturated fat (15.5%) diet
• Serum cholesterol reduced 14%
• 33% reduction in MI, 26% decrease in CHD mortality
• Dietary counseling every 3 monthsLeren et al. Acta Med. Scand 1966; 466:1.
Los Angeles VA study
• 846 men in Veterans Home, 5-8 years
• Groups randomized to diets in which 2/3 of fat given either as vegetable oil (corn, cottonseed, safflower, soybean) or animal fat
• Saturated fat 11% vs. 18%, polyunsaturated fat 16% vs. 5% of calories
• 31% decrease in CVD endpointsDayton et al. Circulation 1969; 40:1.
Lyon Diet Heart study
• 302 men and women with CHD
• Treatment group randomized to low saturated fat, high canola oil margarine (5% alpha linolenic, 16% linoleic, and 48% oleic acid, also 5% trans)
• 46 month follow-up
• 65% lower CHD death rate in treatment group (6 vs. 19 death)

Stanford Coronary Risk Intervention Project (SCRIP)
• 300 men and woman with CHD, baseline and 4 year follow-up angiograms
• Randomized to <20% fat, <6% saturated fat, <75 mg cholesterol/day, and exercise (Rx group) vs usual care
• LDL-C and TG decreased 22% and 20%, and HDL-C increased 20%
• Rx group had 47% less progression than control group, P<0.02

U.S. Diabetes Prevention Project• 3234 subjects with BMI > 34 kg/m2
• Placebo, metformin, and lifestyle modification
• Lifestyle modification goal > 7% weight loss with diet and exercise (l 150 min / week)
• New onset diabetes: 11% placebo, 7% metformin, 4.8% lifestyle groupNEJM 2002
Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study
• 522 overweight subjects; Intervention group - met with dietician 4 x /yr and supervised exercise vs control group (pamphlet)
• Goals: 1) 5 lb wt loss 2) 15gm of fiber/1000 cal 3) < 30% fat 4) < 10% saturated fat 5) 30 minutes of exercise /day
• Intervention group met 4/5 goals 0% new diabetes, vs control group met 0 goals 32% new diabetesNEJM 2001
Cardiovascular Effects of Treating Overweight/Obesity (1998 NHLBI Obesity Guidelines)
• Lower elevated BP in overweight and obese persons with high blood pressure (45 trials)
• Lower elevated total and LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and increase HDL-cholesterol (22 trials)
• Lower elevated blood glucose levels in overweight and obese persons with diabetes (17 trials)
Summary of Dietary Trials for Weight Loss (1998 NHLBI Obesity Guidelines)
• 48 acceptable RCTs showing an average weight loss of 8% of initial body weight can be obtained over 3-12 months
• Weight loss effects decrease in abdominal fat; low-fat diets with targeted caloric reduction promote greater weight loss
• Very low calorie diets promote greater initial weight loss, but similar effects after one year
• No improvement in CVD fitness measured by V02max in those not incorporating physical activity with dietary therapy

Homocysteine: Role in Atherogenesis• Linked to pathophysiology of arteriosclerosis in 1969
• CVD patients have elevated levels of plasma homocysteine
• May cause vascular damage to intimal cells
• Elevated levels linked to:
– genetic defects
– exposure to toxins
– diet
• Increased dietary intake of folate and vitamin B6 may reduce CVD morbidity and mortality
Benefits of fish oil supplementation
• In the Diet and Reinfarction Trial (DART) in 2033 men with CHD increased intake of fish or use of 2 fish oil caps/day reduced CHD mortality 29% over 2 years
• In GISSI 11324 men and woman with CHD use of 1 gr. of n-3 PUFA decreased CVD events including mortality 15%

Nuts, Soy, Phytosterols, Garlic• Nurses’ Health Study: five 1oz servings of
nuts per week associated with 40% lower risk of CHD events
• Metaanalysis of 38 trials of soy protein showed 47g intake lowered total, LDL-C, and trigs 9%, 13%, and 11%
• Phytosterol-supplemented foods (e.g., stanol ester margarine) lowers LDL-C avg. 10%
• Meta-analysis of garlic studies showed 9% total cholesterol reduction (1/2-1 clove daily for 6 months).

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)
• Diet high in fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products lowers blood pressure (11 mmHg SBP/ 5 mmHg DBP lower than traditional US diet), including more than a sodium-restricted diet
• Recommends 7-8 servings/day of grain/grain products, 4-5 vegetable, 4-5 fruit, 2-3 low- or non-fat dairy products, 2 or less meat, poultry, and fish.

Recommendations for CHD risk reduction and weight loss
• Decrease calories and increase energy expenditure
• Decrease saturated fat and cholesterol (animal fats)
• Increase essential fatty acids, especially n-3 (alpha-linolenic or fish oil-EPA/DHA)
• Decrease sugar intake and increase intake of vegetables, fruits and grains
• Decrease hydrogenated fat and tropical oil intake
• Replace butter with soft no trans margarine or oil (canola and soybean) or plant sterol margarine
• Decrease caloric density and increase fibre
Dietary Approaches: Dean Ornish
• Reversal Diet: 10% fat, 70-75% carbohydrate, 15-20% protein, 5 mg cholesterol/day, excludes all animal products (including seafood) except nonfat milk and yogurt, also excludes high-fat vegetarian foods, including oils, nuts, seeds, and avocados.
• Prevention Diet: Allows up to twice as much fat as the Reversal Diet, as long as blood cholesterol remains at 150 or less, allows meat and seafood, substitutes egg whites for yolks, use of canola oil.
Lifestyle Heart Trial• 41 male and female CHD patients
• Randomized to <10% fat diet, exercise and meditation (Rx group) vs. Step 1 diet
• At one year 37% LDL-C reduction, 22% weight loss, and 1.8 % regression in Rx group vs 2.3% progression in control group (quantitative coronary angiography)
• At 5 years 20% LDL-C reduction, 3.1% regression in Rx group vs 11.8% progression in control group (n=35)
Ornish et al. Lancet 1990; 336:129-133, and JAMA 1998; 280:2001-2007.
Dietary Approaches: Zone/Soy Zone• Premise is to reduce insulin levels and stabilize
glucose control by limiting starchy carbohydrates, emphasize low-density carbohydrates.
• Emphasis on protein (avg. 75g/day for women and 100 g/day for men) (one-third of plate) (soy protein products for Soy Zone) and carbohydrates (primarily from vegetables, fruits to a lesser extent). Allows limited monounsaturated fats.
• Metaanalysis of clinical trial on soy protein (avg. 47g/day) showed reduction in total cholesterol of 9%, LDL-C 13%, and triglycerides 11% (NEJM 1995; 333: 276-82)
Dietary Approaches: Atkins• Intended to correct unbalanced metabolism by
restriction of carbohydrates to reduce insulin production and conversion of excess carbohydrates into stored body fat
• Induction diet limits carbohydrate intake to 20 gms/day (e.g., 3 cups of salad veg or 2 cups salad + 2/3 cup cooked vegs) to induce ketosis/ lypolysis. Maintenance diet 25-30 gms/day.
• Pure proteins, fats, and protein/fat allowed (all meats, fish, foul, eggs, cheese, veg oils, butter)
• Most carbohydrates are not allowed--fruits, bread, grains, starchy vegs, or dairy products.
Data on Atkins and Zone diets
• Medline analysis 2001
• No large scale (>50 subjects) long term (>6months) follow-up studies could be identified with weight loss, cardiovascular risk assessment or clinical outcome data
Pritikin Lifestyle Program• 3-week residential program with exercise and ad
libitum low fat (<10% of calories) plant based diet
• 4566 men and woman
• Mean LDL-C reduction 25% in men and 20% in woman
• Significant reductions in TG and HDL-C
• Significant 3.2% reduction in body weight
• Limited long-term follow up
Barnard et al. Arch Intern Med 1991;151:1389-1394.
Very Low Fat Diets:AHA Science Advisory (Circ. 1998; 98: 935-39)
• Diets <15% cal from fat, 15% protein, 70% carbohydrates; shown to be associated with lower CVD rates.
• Reducing fat intake from 35-40% to 15-20% reduces total and LDL-C 10-20%, but can increase TG and lower HDL-C. Long-term effects after weight stabilization not known.
• Effect on nutrient adequacy and density not well-known. Concern on meeting essential fatty acid requirements, esp. in youth (low-fat diets not recommended <2 yrs).
• Selected, high-risk persons with elevated LDL-C or CVD may benefit with proper supervision. Advice needed for optimal substitution of complex carbohydrates for fat.
• Clinical trials needed to show if there is added benefit
Barriers to Dietary Adherence
• Restrictive dietary pattern• Required changes in lifestyle and behavior• Symptom relief may not be noticable• Interference of diet with family/personal habits• Cost, access to proper foods, preparation effort• Denial or perceiving disease not serious• Poor understanding of diet/disease link• Misinformation from unreliable sources
Strategies for Maintaining Dietary Change
• Tailoring diet to patient’s needs
• Using social support inside and outside healthcare setting
• Providing patient and caretaker with skills and training
• Ensuring an effective patient-counselor relationship
• Evaluation, follow-up, and reinforcement
