Although the pathophysiology of CVD and cancer is complex and multifactorial, lifestyle factors including diet often contribute significantly to their pathogenesis. There is a wealth of observational data as well as emerging trial data supporting the benefits of a predominantly whole-food plant-based diet in the prevention of CVD and cancer. However, there is a need for implementation science to effectuate existing knowledge.
