Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background/Objectives: Evidence about the relation between dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is scarce in Middle Eastern countries. This study was performed to examine the association between major dietary patterns and CVD mortality in Iranian adults. Subjects/Methods: This population-based prospective cohort study was conducted among 4834 randomly selected participants aged ≥35 years from urban and rural areas of central Iran (2001-2009) (the Isfahan Cohort Study). Dietary intakes were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, and major dietary patterns were identified by means of exploratory factor analysis. Subjects or their next of kin were interviewed biannually looking for possible occurrence of events. Cardiovascular mortality was defined as fatal myocardial infarction, fatal stroke and sudden cardiac death. Results: During the median follow-up of 9.0 years and 50 282 person-years, we found a total of 118 CVD mortalities. Four major dietary patterns were identified: 'Western', 'Mediterranean', 'Animal fat' and 'Fast food'. Adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern was protectively associated with CVD mortality, such that those in the highest quartile were 46% (hazard ratio (HR): 0.54; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.32-0.91; P-value for trend=0.03) less likely to have incident CVD mortality than those in the lowest quartile. Further adjustment for potential confounders strengthened this association (HR: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.19-0.96; P-value for trend=0.02). We found no significant association between adherence to the Western, animal fat and fast food dietary patterns and CVD mortality. Conclusions: Adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern was associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular mortality even in a developing country setting.
