If you live in a neighborhood where fast-food restaurants abound, you might be more likely to have a heart attack, new research suggests.
. The results emphasize the importance of the food environment as a potential contributor towards health," said study author Tarunpreet Saluja, from the University of Newcastle in Callaghan., including heart attack, is one of the leading causes of death worldwide," Saluja noted."It is known that eating fast-foods is linked with a higher likelihood of fatal and nonfatal heart attacks. Despite this, there is rapid growth in the purchase and availability of fast-food.
"Previous studies have shown that the poor nutritional value, high salt and saturated fat in fast-food is connected to heart disease, yet the role of greater access to these restaurants has been less clear," Saluja said in a European Society of Cardiology news release. The study findings were presented Aug. 11 at the annual meeting of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand. Research presented at meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
According to Jeroen Bax, past president of the ESC,"Tackling heart disease requires individual responsibility and actions at population level. This study highlights the impact of the food environment on health. In addition to regulating the location and density of fast-food outlets, local areas should ensure good access to supermarkets with healthy food."Copyright © 2013-2018 HealthDay. All rights reserved.
