Highlights
– In patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD), higher adherence to the EAT‑Lancet Healthy Reference Diet (HRD) was associated with lower risk of non‑fatal vascular events, driven primarily by reduced stroke incidence.
– Each 10‑point increase in the EAT‑Lancet HRD score (0–140) corresponded to a 13% lower risk of non‑fatal vascular events and a 24% lower risk of stroke in the Utrecht cohort.
