China's aging population is a significant threat to its future. Observing the habits and physical conditions of the elderly who live long lives could effectively accumulate experience in preventing the dangers of aging for society. This work studied the association between dietary habits and heart disease in the long-lived elderly. The dataset was collected in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), including 884 heart disease patients and 5592 ordinary people in the age range between 47 to 117. In three grouping approaches, logistic regression analysis investigated the relationship between dietary factors and heart disease (no grouping, age, sex). According to the logistic regression analysis, the frequency of meat and sugar consumption was positively related to the risk of heart disease. On the contract, a negative relationship between the amount of staple food per day and heart disease was observed in all three grouping methods. As a result, this study proposed that the elderly consume more protein and use appropriate animal fat as cooking oil to lower their risk of heart disease.
