Abstract in brief

  • The types and amounts of fats and carbohydrates in your diet can influence the development of atherosclerotic vascular disease, which involves the buildup of fats and cholesterol in the arteries.
  • Saturated and trans fats are linked to increased risk, while healthier fats like unsaturated fats can help protect against artery blockages.
  • Managing intake of dietary fats and carbohydrates is important for preventing and reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases related to atherosclerosis.]
