传统希腊饮食与冠心病

摘要(中文译文)

传统希腊饮食与冠心病发病风险呈显著负相关。因此，希腊男性的预期寿命长于其他欧洲国家或北美的男性。传统希腊饮食在对抗冠心病发生方面的有益作用可能与其多个方面的特点有关，包括大量摄入橄榄油，这往往可提高高密度脂蛋白胆固醇与低密度脂蛋白胆固醇的比值；经常食用富含纤维的豆类和蔬菜，并以橄榄油烹制膳食；大量摄入蔬菜和水果及其相关的抗氧化化合物；以及进餐时适量饮用葡萄酒，这往往可提高高密度脂蛋白胆固醇，而不会带来严重的酒精中毒风险。

Abstract

The traditional Greek diet is strongly inversely related to the risk of developing coronary heart disease. Consequently, Greek men have a longer life expectancy than men from other European countries or from North America. Several aspects of the traditional Greek diet may contribute to its beneficial role in countering the development of coronary heart disease. They include the high intake of olive oil that tends to increase the ratio of high- to low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, the regular consumption of fibre-rich legumes and vegetables in meals cooked using olive oil, the high intake of vegetables and fruits and the associated anti-oxidant compounds, and the moderate consumption of wine with meals that tends to increase high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol without posing major risks of intoxication.
