Applications of Chinese Dietary Pattern Prescriptions in the Long-term Management of Cerebrovascular Diseases

Abstract

Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. Proper diet is an important primary prevention strategy in the long-term management of cerebrovascular diseases. The currently popular MD, DASH, MIND, and Japanese dietary patterns all have significant significance in research on the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. Due to the vast geographical area and dietary differences, there is currently a lack of comprehensive epidemiological research on dietary patterns and cerebrovascular diseases in China and a unified definition of dietary patterns. This article summarizes the characteristics of the above four dietary patterns and combines them with modern Chinese nutrition theory and epidemiological research evidence. Explore dietary patterns that are suitable for Chinese residents and provide reference for Chinese general practitioners in formulating dietary prescriptions for the long-term management of cerebrovascular diseases.
