Abstract

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including Asian populations. Diet plays a crucial role in the development and prevention of CHD. This research article aims to explore the impact of dietary patterns on CHD risk in Asian populations. We conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature and identified key studies examining the association between dietary patterns and CHD risk in Asian populations. Our findings indicate that certain dietary patterns, such as the traditional Asian diet, Mediterranean diet, and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, have been associated with a reduced risk of CHD. However, the Westernized diet and certain unhealthy dietary patterns prevalent in Asian countries have shown a positive association with increased CHD risk. Moreover, specific components of the Asian diet, such as rice, soy, fish, vegetables, fruits, and tea, have been linked to a decreased risk of CHD.
