Interactions between the genetic risk score and dietary factors, specifically trans fats, were observed, indicating that the effects of trans fats on CHD risk are more pronounced in individuals with a higher genetic risk score.
Understanding the interaction between genetics and diet can help tailor dietary recommendations for individuals at higher genetic risk for CHD.

Interactions between the GRS and diet pattern (P =0.022) and trans fats (P =0.046) were observed.
Why this rating
The study involves pooled analyses from multiple cohorts.

- The genetic risk score (GRS) was associated with incident coronary heart disease (CHD) across cohorts, with a relative risk (RR) of 1.59 (95% CI: 1.41-1.79) for the highest quintile compared to the lowest.Strong
- A healthy lifestyle score was more strongly associated with CHD than the genetic risk score, with a relative risk of 1.94 (95% CI: 1.71-2.20) for the highest quintile compared to the lowest.Strong
