Africa would benefit from an epidemiological assessment of premature ACS to determine its risk factors and management in this demographic to inform guidelines and practice. The European Atherosclerosis Society recognised this urgency and formed a growing network across 11 African countries to create the Lipid Registry of Africa (EAS-LIPRA). This article is based on the EAS-LIPRA protocol and presents the aims, concept and methodological considerations, and the operations and collaborative governance structure of this project. EAS-LIPRA aims to report risk factors and outcomes of premature ACS in Africa to further understand its prevalence and management via collating and pooling multinational prospective data on premature ACS across multiple sites in Africa into a standardised registry. Data will be stratified into subgroups based on country-level income as defined by the World Bank, and within country residence of urban versus rural areas. Valid statistical procedures will be employed to compare and observe trends in the pooled data based on demographics, clinical and laboratory variables, and disparities in its management. Being the first multinational lipid registry in Africa, it is envisaged that the network will expand to other African countries and sites yet to participate, facilitate other epidemiological studies in preventive cardiology, and set a precedent for other developing countries and regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72324,"journal":{"name":"Atherosclerosis plus","volume":"58 ","pages":"Pages 46-50"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to assess the dietary pattern in relation to the Healthy Nordic Food Index (HNFI) in adults with and without heterozygous FH (HeFH), and to examine the associations between dietary quality and biomarkers related to cardiovascular disease in adults with HeFH.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We included 205 adults (≥18 years) with HeFH who received follow-up at the Lipid Clinic in Oslo and compared them to controls (n = 228). Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire and dietary quality was assessed using the HNFI. Blood samples were analysed for levels of blood lipids, plasma fatty acids (FAs), and markers of inflammation and platelet activation.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The HeFH patients (median 60 years; 50.2 % female; 25.9 % in secondary prevention) had lower intake of total and saturated fat compared to controls (32.6 energy percent (E%) vs. 34.9 E%, and 9.6 E% vs 12.0 E%, respectively; p &lt; 0.001 for both). In the HeFH patients, increasing dietary quality was associated with increased plasma levels of the n-3 polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, and the n-6 PUFA linoleic acid, and lower plasma levels of the inflammatory cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor and interleukin-6, and of the platelet-derived inflammatory cytokines Platelet Factor 4 and Neutrophil-Activating Peptide-2.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Norwegian patients with HeFH followed up at a Lipid Clinic eat healthier than controls. Adherence to a healthy dietary pattern is associated with higher plasma levels of n-3 and n-6 PUFA, and lower levels of inflammatory markers, including platelet markers. This may suggest that adherence to an overall healthy dietary pattern might be beneficial for HeFH patients independent of the cholesterol-lowering effect of the diet.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72324,"journal":{"name":"Atherosclerosis plus","volume":"58 ","pages":"Pages 38-45"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
