Dietary patterns and the risk of coronary heart disease among Jordanians: A case-control study. Statistical and methodological issue

We read with great interest the case-control study by Tayyem et  al. [1], in which 400 patients with clinical suspicion of coronary artery disease were investigated for investigating the possible association between dietary patterns and CHD. The authors concluded that the healthy dietary pattern and the high-fiber pattern were associated with a decrease in the odds of CHD among Jordanians. Although the results are quite interesting, there are some issues threatening the validity of estimated ORs.
