Abstract


Dietary patterns play a pivotal role in shaping overall health and the risk of chronic diseases at the population level. Understanding the relationship between diet and health requires a comprehensive analysis of population-based studies, which provide valuable insights into how dietary habits influence physical and mental well-being. This paper explores the findings of significant population-based studies conducted before 2023, focusing on the impact of dietary patterns on health outcomes such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, and mental health. Through a systematic literature review, this paper identifies common dietary patterns, their health implications, and underlying mechanisms. The analysis is complemented with graphical representations and statistical insights to highlight key trends and patterns. The findings underscore the importance of dietary modifications in improving public health and reducing the burden of chronic diseases.
