The mean total low-carbohydrate diet score and animal low-carbohydrate diet score are inversely associated with the incidence of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
Encouraging low-carbohydrate dietary patterns may benefit patients with type 2 diabetes in reducing cardiovascular risk.
GoodSupportsmedium confidence
In addition, the mean total low-carbohydrate diet score, animal low-carbohydrate diet score, and mean proportion of saturated fatty acid intake showed significant inverse associations with the incidence of the primary endpoint.
Why this rating
