- HIGHLIGHTS
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality and is responsible for the deaths of 17 million people each year, approximately one-third of all global deaths annually. Of the estimated 16.6 million deaths attributed to CVD worldwide, 80% is in developing countries. About 75% of the mortality among diabetic men, and 57% among diabetic women, is attributed to cardiovascular disease. Higher concentrations of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and lower concentrations of functional High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) have been found to be associated with cardiovascular disease as these promote atherosclerosis, leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. As a first line of intervention as well as during treatment conditions with cholesterol reducing drugs, changes to the lifestyle are recommended. In the recent past functional foods fortified with plant based bioactives and dietary supplements have found increasing focus as adjuvant in cholesterol management..
