Manoj Sharma (Social and Behavioral Health; Internal Medicine), as a senior collaborator, coauthored an article titled, “Global, regional and national burden of ischemic heart disease attributable to suboptimal diet, 1990–2023: A Global Burden of Disease study,” in collaboration with GBD 2023 IHD and Dietary Risk Factor Collaborators in the journal, Nature Medicine (Impact factor: 50.0). Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The study found that an inadequate diet was responsible for nearly 4 million deaths in 2023. Diets rich in nuts and seeds, whole grains, fruits, and low in sodium should be advocated to reduce this burden.
