Study Finds Diet Quality Influences Genetic Risk of High Cholesterol in Indians
A study by the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation and the University of Reading found that diet quality influences how genetic risk affects cholesterol levels in Indian adults. Poor diets amplify genetic susceptibility to high cholesterol, while healthier diets can offset this risk. The research analyzed over 1,000 participants and highlights the interaction between genetics and diet amid India's rising cardiometabolic diseases. Findings emphasize the importance of healthy eating to manage cholesterol, though further clinical studies are needed.
