Cardiovascular disease and nutrition: The use of food-based dietary guidelines for prevention in Africa

There is no doubt that morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing in many African countries. Research and implementation of public health nutrition programmes in the developed world have shown that CVD can be prevented by dietary interventions. The objectives of this pa...
