Overview

Atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Intervention of its risk factors is pharmacological but non-pharmacological intervention must be its integral part. Dietary recommendations for dyslipidemia are long known however it is necessary to emphasize the importance of their compliance. Presently, these recommendations for adult population to prevent from atherosclerosis are based on healthy nourishment, especially to have sufficient consumption of fish, fresh vegetable and fruit and to avoid consumption of secondary processed meat especially, i.e. smoked meat. Nowadays, there is a diverting trend from recommendation to strictly avoid cholesterol in the diet.

Key works:
atherosclerosis – cholesterol – diet intervention – dyslipidemia – fatty acids
