Previous studies reported the potential associations between dietary patterns and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in adulthood, however a consistent perspective has not been established to date. Herein, we carried out this meta-analysis to evaluate the associations between dietary patterns and the risk of CHD. MEDLINE and EBSCO were searched for relevant articles published up to April 2015. A total of 35 articles (reporting 37 original studies) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the present meta-analysis. The decreased risk of CHD was shown for the highest compared with the lowest categories of healthy/prudent dietary patterns (odds ratio (OR) = 0.67: 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.60, 0.75: p <: 0.00001) and alcohol consumption (OR = 0.68: 95% CI: 0.59, 0.78: p <: 0.00001). There was evidence of an increased risk of CHD in the highest compared with the lowest categories of the unhealthy/Western-type dietary patterns (OR = 1.45: 95% CI: 1.05, 2.01: p = 0.02). The results of this meta-analysis indicate that different dietary patterns may be associated with the risk of CHD.
