Description
Essi Hantikainen and colleagues link eating patterns to heart, kidney, and metabolic risk markers in a 2026 South Tyrol population study. Data came from 8,066 adults in the CHRIS study, who reported their diets on a detailed food questionnaire. Six established diet scores plus locally derived patterns were compared against blood pressure, blood fats, blood sugar, and kidney measures.
Diets rich in fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in saturated fat, tracked with healthier marker levels. The healthy plant-based score tied to lower cholesterol and blood pressure and better kidney filtration. Western-style and unhealthy plant patterns pointed the opposite way. Some links ran stronger in men, smokers, and less active participants.
