The portfolio dietary pattern and risk of cardiovascular disease mortality during 1988–2019 in US adults: a prospective cohort study - BMC Medicine
Background The Portfolio Diet, a dietary pattern of cholesterol-lowering foods, has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in clinical trials and lower CVD risk in observationa...

7. Bottom line:
RCTs show the Portfolio Diet reduces LDL-C. Our new observational work extends the RCT findings to disease outcomes suggesting the diet may help prevent premature❤️🩹death.
Next steps? A cardiovascular outcome trial on the Portfolio Diet. Stay tuned! 👀

5. 🔎 Exploratory analyses suggested the inverse association with mortality was different across race/ethnicity groups.
This underscores the need for more inclusive research and potential benefits in underserved groups. 🧑🏽⚕️🧑🏻⚕️🧑🏿⚕️

4. At baseline, higher adherence to the diet was also associated with:
💉 Lower LDL and nonHDL cholesterol
🧪 Lower inflammation (CRP)
🩸 Lower blood sugar (HbA1c)
These findings on intermediate CVD risk factors align with our mortality findings → 💪our observations.

3. 📉 Specifically:
For every 8-point increase (33%) in the Portfolio Diet Score (PDS), risk was lower:
🔹 CVD: ↓ 12%
🔹 CHD: ↓ 14%
🔹 All-cause: ↓ 12%
Highest vs. lowest tertile of adherence:
🔻 CVD ↓ 16%
🔻 CHD ↓ 18%
🔻 All-cause ↓ 14%

The diet combines foods that independently lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol):
🥜 Nuts
🫛 Soy and beans
🍎 Viscous fibre
