Cardiovascular disease accounts for about 50 percent of all mortality nation-wide in both men and women. While many cardiovascular disease risk factors bear on the occurrence of cardiovascular disease, poor nutritional status is estimated to account in its own right for at least a two-fold increase in cardiovascular disease. These effects are mediated through multiple dietary factors, including the classical fat sources, saturated fat and cholesterol, but other less well recognized nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, vitamins bearing on homocysteine levels, other antioxidants such as isoflavones and carotenoids, plant estrogens, soya, salt, trace minerals and alcohol. Physicians have an impression that diet is ineffective in preventing arteriosclerosis, in part because nutrition education is fragmented and inconsistent in medical schools despite nationwide recommendations. In light of these facts, a strong case can be made for embarking on a nutrition education program that is focused around one preventable disease state, arteriosclerosis, and directed at the education of medical students at several levels, postgraduate physicians and para-professionals. Plans are presented for the development of an educational program for 2nd, 3rd and 4th-year medical students, residents, research fellows, practicing physicians and allied health care professionals. The proposed members of the Nutrition Academic Award team are gifted teachers and all are conducting nutrition related research of national and international significance. This educational effort is strongly supported by the University of Washington School of Medicine and is already partially underway. Education evaluation components are proposed that are both well established or innovative and will build on evaluation elements from previous preventive cardiology research conducted at this institution. The past track record of teaching substantive and well received courses in cardiovascular disease prevention at the medical school and post-graduate levels assures that an authoritative and continually updated curriculum can be developed, put into practice at the University of Washington and distributed to other medical schools and health-training facilities. It is time to begin aggressive, substantive nutrition educational programs in cardiovascular disease prevention.

心血管疾病约占所有死亡率的 50% 全国范围内，无论男性还是女性。 虽然很多心血管疾病 危险因素与心血管疾病的发生有关 据估计，营养状况本身至少可以解释 心血管疾病的发病率增加两倍。 这些效果是 通过多种饮食因素介导，包括经典脂肪 来源，饱和脂肪和胆固醇，但其他不太为人所知 营养成分包括omega-3脂肪酸、抗氧化维生素、维生素 与同型半胱氨酸水平、其他抗氧化剂（例如异黄酮）有关 和类胡萝卜素、植物雌激素、大豆、盐、微量矿物质和 酒精。 医生的印象是饮食对 预防动脉硬化，部分原因是营养教育 尽管在全国范围内，医学院还是分散且不一致的 建议。 鉴于这些事实，可以提出强有力的理由 开展一项营养教育计划，重点围绕一个 可预防的疾病状态、动脉硬化，并针对 医学生的多层次教育、研究生医师 和辅助专业人员。 提出了开发一个 二年级、三年级和四年级医学生的教育计划， 住院医师、研究员、执业医师和专职医疗人员 护理专业人员。 营养学术委员会的拟议成员 获奖团队都是资优老师，都在进行营养相关的课程 具有国内和国际意义的研究。 这种教育性的 这一努力得到了华盛顿大学学院的大力支持 医学已经部分进行中。 教育评价 提议的组件既成熟又具有创新性，并且 将建立在先前预防心脏病学的评估要素的基础上 在该机构进行的研究。 过去的业绩记录 教授心血管疾病方面的实质性且广受好评的课程 医学院和研究生级别的预防确保 可以开发权威且不断更新的课程， 在华盛顿大学付诸实践并分发给 其他医学院和健康培训机构。 是时候了 开始积极、实质性的营养教育计划 心血管疾病的预防。
