Research on the Relationship between Diet and Vascular Calcification

血管钙化(Vascular calcification, VC)作为多种心血管疾病(Cardiovascular disease, CVD)的共同病理表现过程，与心血管疾病高发病率和死亡率密切相关。而慢性炎症已被证明在VC的进展中起重要作用。饮食模式主要是促炎性饮食，可影响全身炎症的强度，进而参与VC的发生和进展。本文就促炎性饮食成分与VC的关系及由饮食诱导的慢性全身性炎症及氧化应激从而诱导VC的过程做一综述，以期通过考虑饮食对VC的影响在改善心血管健康和延缓血管钙化方面取得进展。Vascular calcification (VC), as the common pathological course of cardiovascular disease (CVD), has been proved to be closely related to the high incidence of a disease and mortality. Chronic inflammation has been shown to play an important role in the progression of VC. Dietary patterns, primarily pro-inflammatory diets, can influence the intensity of systemic inflammation and, in turn, participate in the occurrence and progression of VC. This article reviews the relationship between pro-inflammatory dietary components and VC and the process of oxidative stress and VC induction by diet-induced chronic systemic inflammation.
