About this study

To examine associations between various dietary elements and the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among residents of the United States. The effect of dietary cholesterol and fat on risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke has been examined extensively in epidemiologic studies. However, the results from these studies are inconsistent. Furthermore, the association between some other key elements of diet and risk of CHD and stroke has been insufficiently studied in epidemiologic studies.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The study examines prospectively the association between: 1) dietary intake of trans-unsaturated fat and the risk of coronary heart disease and 2) dietary intake of total, saturated and unsaturated fats and risk of stroke; 3) dietary intake of vegetable and animal protein and risk of stroke; 4) dietary intake of total and water-soluble fiber and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke; 5) dietary intake of sodium and potassium and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke; 6) dietary intake of vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin E, and folic acid and the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke; and 7) specific foods, such as fish, beans, fruits, and vegetables and the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. In addition, the association of baseline serum vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate to the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke will be investigated.

Data from the NHANES1 Epidemiologic Follow-Up Study (NHEFS) will be used to test the hypotheses. The NHEFS is an on-going prospective cohort study being conducted in 14,407 United States men and women aged 25 to 74 years by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The baseline data, including a 24-hour dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire, as well as important cardiovascular risk factors were collected during 1971-75. The follow-up data were collected during 1982 to 1984, 1986, 1987, and 1992. The follow-up data were obtained by means of an interview, medical records from health care facilities, and death certificates for all decedents. In the study, the investigators will re-code dietary data and calculate dietary nutrients using the ESHA Nutrient Database. They will also analyze the relationship of dietary nutrients and specific foods to risk of CHD and stroke.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Heart Diseases, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005519, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2016.
