ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
While the association of potato consumption with risk factors for coronary artery disease has been inconsistent, no data are available in the literature on the influence of potato consumption on subclinical disease. Thus, we sought to examine whether baked/mashed potato consumption is associated with calcified atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
In a cross-sectional design, we studied 2208 participants of the NHLBI Family Heart Study. These subjects were selected based on their elevated cardiovascular disease risk compared to the general population. Potato consumption was assessed by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. We defined prevalent CAC using an Agatston score of at least 100 and fitted generalized estimating equations to calculate prevalence odds ratios of CAC. Mean age at initial clinic visit was 58.2 years and 55% were female. Median consumption of potatoes was 2-4/week. There was no statistically significant association between frequency of potato consumption and prevalent CAC odds ratios (95% CI) for CAC were 1.0 (reference), 0.85 (0.56-1.30), 0.85 (0.58-1.26), and 0.95 (0.60-1.53) among subjects reporting potato consumption of <1/week, 1/week, 2-4/week, and 5+/week, respectively (p for linear trend 0.83), adjusting for age, sex, BMI, smoking, exercise, diabetes, hypertension, total calories, prevalent coronary heart disease, income, education, and daily red meat intake.CONCLUSIONS:
We found no significant association between baked/mashed potato consumption and CAC in older adults. STUDY REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT00005136. Study registration date 5/25/2000.Palavras-chave
