Association of Food and Alcohol Consumption with Peripheral Atherosclerotic Plaque Volume as Measured by 3D-Ultrasound.

In this study we were able to show an association of food and alcohol consumption with peripheral atherosclerotic PV measured by 3D-ultrasonography. Following a healthy nutritional lifestyle (vegetable consumption, no excessive alcohol consumption) and regular fish consumption appears to be associated with less peripheral atherosclerosis and decreased prevalence of vascular diseases, respectively.
