title: Dietary-atherosclerosis study on deceased persons.
abstract: Relation of certain market foods to raised coronary lesions. By M. C. Moore, M. A. Guzmán, P. E. Schilling, and J. P. Strong, J. Am. Dietet. A. 79:668, 1981. Dietary patterns of 253 deceased men, as reported by their spouses, were related significantly to atherosclerotic lesions when assessed by the food sources in their diets. Using the macronutrients--protein, fat and carbohydrate--to identify and quantify the food sources in their diets, researchers found lesser lesions to be related to intakes of legumes, grains, and vegetables, while higher lesions were related, but to a lesser degree, to intakes of beef, milk, and fruit. It is concluded that dietary mixing of foods could have either enhanced or obscured the degree of these relationships.
