Most heart disease deaths can be prevented by changing diets: Study

Heart diseases are among the most fatal causes of threat to life in the world today. With healthier diets, more than two-thirds of heart disease-related fatalities may be avoided globally, that was the conclusion of a study published in the journals 'European Society of Cardiology's journal' and European Heart Journal - Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes (ESC)'. The findings had been released on World Food Day, which emphasized the significance of healthy meals that are accessible to all and sustainable. The study analysed data provided by the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017, which was conducted in 195 countries between 1990 and 2017. In 2017, there were 126.5 million individuals living with ischaemic heart disease, and 10.6 million new diagnoses of the condition. Ischaemic heart disease caused 8.9 million deaths in 2017, which equates to 16% of all deaths, compared with 12.6% of all deaths in 1990.
