Macro partitioning
Adherence to a 'Western' dietary pattern, characterized by high intake of fried foods, salty snacks, eggs, and meat, is associated with an increased risk of AMI, particularly at high levels of consumption.
Limit your intake of fried foods, salty snacks, and processed meats. High consumption of these 'Western' pattern foods significantly increases your risk of heart attack.

The Western pattern showed a U-shaped association with AMI... whereas it was 1.12 (95% CI 1.00 to 1.25) for the third quartile and 1.35 (95% CI 1.21 to 1.51) for the fourth quartile; P for trend <0.001)
