While it's generally accepted that dietary acculturation influences health, its effects on heart health are not well understood, as per Linda Van Horn, PhD.
Higher dietary acculturation among Hispanic/Latino individuals in the U.S. was associated with an increased risk of heart disease and cardiovascular events.
Adopting diets high in fried, processed, and salty foods over traditional diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can impact heart health.
The study provided important data on health disparities among acculturated Hispanic/Latino populations and the impact of dietary changes, noted Van Horn.
