Dietary Effects on Chronic Venous Disease
1Yunnan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Regularly consuming soybean products and eggs may lower chronic venous disease risk. Conversely, frequent fried food intake is linked to increased risk. Diet plays a key role in managing this condition.
Area of Science:
- Nutritional Science
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
Background:
- Diet significantly impacts noncommunicable diseases like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
- The relationship between diet and chronic venous disease (CVD) is not fully understood.
- Understanding dietary factors is crucial for public health and disease prevention strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the association between dietary intake and the prevalence of chronic venous disease.
- To identify specific food groups or dietary patterns linked to a reduced or increased risk of CVD.
- To explore potential dietary influences on the severity of chronic venous disease.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 1,571 community-dwelling adults in 2018.
- Dietary intake frequency was assessed using validated food group consumption questionnaires.
- Multivariable logistic regression models analyzed the association between diet and chronic venous disease.
Main Results:
- Higher consumption of soybean products (daily or 4-6 days/week) was associated with a 51-31% lower risk of CVD.
- Consuming eggs 1-3 days/week showed a reduced risk of CVD (OR 0.542, 95% CI 0.375-0.782).
- Frequent intake of fried foods (4-6 days/week) was linked to an increased risk of CVD (OR 3.872, 95% CI 1.263-11.599).
- Soybean consumption showed a dose-dependent relationship with disease severity, with higher intake linked to lower risk in more severe stages (C3-C6).
Conclusions:
- Increased intake of soybean products and eggs is associated with a lower risk of chronic venous disease.
- High consumption of fried foods is positively associated with an increased risk of chronic venous disease.
- Dietary patterns appear to influence chronic venous disease risk independently of other factors.
