The impact of dietary carbohydrate quantity and glycemic index (GI) on 10-year predicted cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk using the American Heart Association's PREVENT equations was investigated, hypothesizing that a low-carbohydrate, low-GI diet would reduce CVD risk. Findings showed that reducing carbohydrate quantity, regardless of GI, led to the greatest reduction in 10-year predicted CVD risk, suggesting that carbohydrate content may be a more effective dietary target than GI for lowering CVD risk. #cardiovasculardisease #johnshopkins #research https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/clinical-connection/heart-vascular-institute/johns-hopkins-at-the-american-heart-association-scientific-sessions
