This study by Rosa Sá de Oliveira Neta and colleagues evaluates the relationship between adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet, which promotes sustainable dietary practices, and cardiovascular health in Brazilian adults and elderly individuals. Using the Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) and Cardiovascular Health Diet Index (CHDI), the study assesses the impact of diet on key cardiometabolic parameters such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and the presence of diabetes. Results show that adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet is associated with improved cardiovascular health, including lower systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels, as well as reduced risk factors like type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.
