Implication
Regional dietary differences may influence platelet reactivity and CHD risk in Belgium; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Healthy Belgian male subjects from two distinct regions differing in coronary heart disease mortality rate, divided into younger (28-54 years) and older (55-73 years) age groups.
O
Outcome
Dietary habits, fatty acid composition of plasma and platelet phospholipids, and platelet functionsurrogate
Dietary habits, age, and regional differences in Belgium are associated with variations in platelet phospholipid fatty acids and platelet reactivity, reflecting coronary heart disease risk.
