Dietary patterns may be related to cardiovascular diseases. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating whether dietary pattern is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. SCORE (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation) and ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease) risk assessment systems were used to determine cardiovascular disease risk. In order to evaluate the physical activity levels, a short physical activity assessment tool was applied by mutual interview. 24-hour food consumption records were used to determine the pattern of the current diet and energy and nutrients intakes were evaluated. When focusing on the findings; It was found that individuals who are inactive have a 1.46 times higher risk of high/very high CVD than those who do adequate physical activity (p=0.04). One unit increase in energy intake increases the risk of high/very high CVD and 10-year moderate/high CVD risk 1.02 times (p<0.001), while a one-unit increase in saturated fat intake increases the risk of moderate/high CVD at 10 years 1.02 times (p=0.04). Each unit increase in the percentage of carbohydrate intake increases the risk of high/very high CVD by 1.01 times (p=0.03) and the 10-year risk of moderate/high CVD by 1.02 times (p=0.005), while each unit in the percentage of protein intake increases the risk of high/very high CVD by 1.01 times (p=0.03), reduces the risk of high/very high CVD by 0.96 times (p=0.02). This is the first study to holistically evaluate dietary characteristics in a Turkish population and demonstrate that a balanced diet may be associated with a lower CVD risk.
