| description | Background/objective:
The study was carried out to assess the relationship between nut consumption and lipid profile among Iranian adults.
Subject/methods:
The study was based on data from the Isfahan Healthy Heart Program across three counties in central Iran in 2007. A cross-sectional survey of 9660 randomly selected adults aged ⩾19 years were chosen based on sex, age and settlement distributions in each community. Nutritional behaviors were assessed by validated qualitative 48-item food frequency questionnaires, which covered regular intakes of four types of nuts: walnuts, almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts. Analysis of covariance and logistic regression tests were utilized to determine odds ratio (OR) 95% confidence interval of hyperlipidemia according to nut consumption patterns in unadjusted and three-adjusted models.
Results:
The results showed a significant link between high nut consumption and lower total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and apo B/apo A ratio (

The study was carried out to assess the relationship between nut consumption and lipid profile among Iranian adults.
Subject/methods:
The study was based on data from the Isfahan Healthy Heart Program across three counties in central Iran in 2007.

Results:
The results showed a significant link between high nut consumption and lower total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and apo B/apo A ratio (
P
<0.05) in female subjects and lower TG, LDL-C and apoB/apoA ratio in male subjects (
P
<0.05). The frequency of nut consumption was inversely associated with dyslipidemia, especially for those who had consumed nuts ⩾4 times weekly (0.67 (0.57-0.79)). After adjusting for sex, age and other potential confounders, ORs increased enormously. Except for low apo A and high LDL-C, more frequent nut consumption (4⩽ times per week) had a significant inverse effect on other dyslipidemia risk factors in all four models.
Conclusions:
We concluded that frequent consumption of nuts, particularly ⩾4 times a week, may result in lower dyslipidemia occurrences and may exert cardioprotective effects.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0954-3007</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1476-5640</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1038/ejcn.2013.21</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23422923</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>London: Nature Publishing Group UK</publisher><subject>631/45/287 ; 692/699/75/2099 ; 692/700/459/1994 ; 692/700/478/174 ; Adult ; Adults ; Age ; Aged ; Apolipoproteins A - blood ; Apolipoproteins B - blood ; Biological and medical sciences ; Cardiovascular disease ; Cholesterol ; Cholesterol, HDL - blood ; Clinical Nutrition ; Confidence intervals ; Consumption data ; Consumption patterns ; Corylus ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Diet ; Dyslipidemia ; Epidemiology ; European Continental Ancestry Group ; Feeding Behavior ; Feeding.
