Interaction between genetic risk score and dietary carbohydrate intake on high- density lipoprotein cholesterol levels: Findings from the Study of Obesity, Nutrition, Genes and Social factors (SONGS)

This study looks at how genetic risk factors and lifestyle factors—in particular, a person’s diet— interact to affect various health traits related to heart disease and diabetes, such as cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Results are based on data from urban participants from the Young Lives study in Peru, collected in 2022. Understanding the interactions between genetic factors and lifestyle factors is important because it could help guide better nutrition advice to reduce cardiometabolic risk.
