Adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern and heart rate in the SUN project

Abstract: Background: A higher heart rate has been related to an increase of total and cardiovascular mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the relation between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and heart rate. Design: The SUN project is an ongoing multipurpose cohort study based on university graduates from Spain. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 15,863 participants of the SUN project. Adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern was assessed through a validated 136-item food frequency question… Show more

“…Moreover, coherently with our hypothesis of finding an association between elevated HR and cluster membership at each wave, the most maladaptive lifestyle profile at T2 had many members with elevated HR who are, perhaps, more likely to be at risk of subsequent cardiovascular death and morbidity [ 21 ]. This latter result is congruent with previous empirical evidence of the detrimental effect of low physical activity, heavy smoking, and inadequate diet on elevated HR [ 22 23 ]. However, we found no link between HR and cluster membership at baseline or T1.…”

“…At each wave, which are the associations between cluster membership and HR cutoff? Following evidence of the detrimental influence of unhealthy lifestyles on the autonomic nervous systems, as shown by elevated HR in people with low physical activity, heavy smoking, and inadequate diet [ 22 23 ], we expected an association between maladaptive cluster membership and elevated HR.…”

“…It is important to note that Mediterranean Diet Scores and PNNS-GS scores predicted obesity risk equally well among French adults and that strong adherence to the PNNS guidelines was protective against weight gain and obesity 30. The current results are in line with those of previous studies that reported lower HRs with adherence to the Mediterranean diet 40. However, although the aforementioned trial had used a semi-automatic oscillometer during HR assessment, such a finding has yet to be confirmed in a prospective 5-year diet intervention 41.…”

“…Its cross-sectional nature and the lack of hard outcome data preclude strong conclusions relating to temporal relationships, causality and risk. Several recent studies suggest that dietary patterns may affect HR and autonomic control [31,32]. We were, however, also unable to account for the effect of diet on the relationship between obesity and exercise HR.…”
