Abstract P524: Protein Biomarkers Mediate the Association Between Diet Quality and Incident Cardiovascular Disease and All-cause Mortality

Objectives: Molecular mechanism underlying diet and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. We aimed to examine the association between habitual diet and protein biomarkers and test whether these proteins mediate the association between diet and incident CVD and mortality. Methods: We included 6,596 participants (mean age 50 years; 54% women) of the Framingham Heart Study. A panel of 71 CVD-related circulating protein biomarkers were...
