A comprehensive, accessible summary of the latest research in heart disease risk factors
Cardiovascular
Disease (CVD) is a major cause of early death and disability across the
world. The major markers of risk—including high blood cholesterol,
smoking, and obesity—are well known, but studies show that such markers
do not account for all cardiovascular risk. Written by a team of
renowned experts in the field, this comprehensive and accessible book
examines the evidence for emerging and novel risk factors, and their
relationship with diet and nutrition.
Fully updated throughout, Cardiovascular Disease: Diet, Nutrition and Emerging Risk Factors, 2nd Edition
covers everything from the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease, to
genetic factors, to inflammation and much more – offering invaluable
advice on reducing risk factors and preventing CVD. This new edition:
- Authoritatively reports on the link between emerging aspects of diet, lifestyle and cardiovascular disease risk
- Focuses
on novel risk factors of CVD, including the human gut microbiome and
fetal and childhood origins, and how it can be prevented
- Features recommendations for interventions and future research
- Includes references, commonly asked questions that summarise the take-home messages, and an online glossary
Cardiovascular Disease: Diet, Nutrition and Emerging Risk Factors, 2nd Edition
is an important book for researchers and postgraduate students in
nutrition, dietetics, food science, and medicine, as well as for
cardiologists and cardiovascular specialists.
