Conclusion The Nordic dietary pattern  improves blood pressure and also some of blood lipid markers and it should be considered as a healthy dietary pattern
Background and aims The Nordic diet ( ND ) , is supposed to be associated with a reduced cardiovascular risk ; however , clinical trials have led to inconsistent results regarding the effect of this diet on cardio-metabolic markers .
Using systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) , this study aim ed to investigate the effect of the ND on circulating levels of total , low-density lipoprotein ( LDL ) , and high-density lipoprotein ( HDL ) cholesterol , and triglyceride ( TG ) , as well as blood pressure in human adults .
No Association between Adherence to a Healthy Nordic Food Index and Colorectal Cancer: Results from a Swedish Cohort Study
Background : Recently , the Nordic diet has gained interest , and a healthy Nordic food index has been developed , which has been found inversely related to colorectal cancer among Danish women . This single finding , however , requires replication in other cohorts . Methods : We conducted a prospect i ve study in the Women 's Lifestyle and Health cohort , including 45,222 women , recruited in 1991–92 , and followed up ever since through Swedish registries . Participants were classified according to the Nordic food index ( consisting of whole grain bread , oatmeal , apples/pears , cabbages , root vegetables , and fish/shellfish ) , and the association between adherence and colorectal cancer was assessed using the Cox proportional hazards models . Results : In the fully adjusted models , we found no association , neither with the continuous index score [ incidence rate ratio ( IRR ) , 1.04 ; 95 % confidence interval ( CI ) , 0.95–1.12 , per 1-point increment ] nor in the categorical analyses ( IRR , 1.09 ; 95 % CI , 0.78–1.52 for highest vs. lowest adherers ) . Conclusion : The present study does , thus , not support a previous finding of an inverse association between a healthy Nordic food index and colorectal cancer .
