Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health

The Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health special collection aims to advance our understanding of how dietary patterns, macronutrient composition, micronutrient intake, and dietary supplements influence cardiometabolic risk factors. We welcome submissions that delve into various aspects of the relationship between nutrition and cardiometabolic health, including dietary patterns, macronutrient composition, micronutrient intake, and dietary supplements, with a focus on their impact on cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and related conditions.

Study Objective
To synthesize evidence on how socioeconomic status (SES) modifies the associations between unhealthy lifestyle factors (LFs) and adverse health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and mortality.

Short Abstract
This systematic review explores the interaction between socioeconomic status (SES) and unhealthy lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet, etc.) in influencing health outcomes. The review concluded that SES often modifies these associations, but the effects vary depending on the study.

Study Design
Systematic review

Population
Adult general population

Sample Size
Six studies of five cohorts, with populations ranging from 42,467 to 399,537 participants

Inclusion Criteria
Studies examining the interaction of SES with lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, diet, physical activity, etc., on health outcomes such as mortality and cardiovascular disease.

Exclusion Criteria
Studies not in English, non-prospective observational cohort studies, and studies that did not analyze the interaction between SES and lifestyle factors

Intervention/Exposure
Combinations of unhealthy lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet)

Outcome Measures

  • All-cause mortality
