Cruciferous and Allium Vegetable Intakes Are Inversely Associated With 15-Year Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease Deaths in Older Adult Women
A team of Australian researchers led by Dr. Lauren C Blekkenhorst conducted a 15 year longitudinal study and concluded that higher vegetable intake is consistently associated with lower atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) events. The cohort consisted of 1226 Australian women aged 70 years and older without clinical ASVD or diabetes mellitus. During 15 years (15 947 person-years) of follow-up, 238 ASVD-related deaths occurred. In multivariable-adjusted models for vegetable types, cruciferous and allium vegetables were inversely associated with ASVD-related deaths.
