Higher relative intake of dietary protein is inversely associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), based on observational data.
If you are concerned about coronary artery disease, this study suggests that ensuring adequate protein intake may be beneficial. Higher relative protein intake was linked to a lower risk of CAD. Include protein-rich foods in your diet. Consult your doctor for personalized advice, especially if you have existing kidney conditions.
Log-transformed protein intake was protective against... coronary artery disease (OR = 0.684, 95% CI: 0.504–0.931)... MR analysis also revealed causal relationships between... relative protein intake and CAD risk.
Why this rating
Strong observational data, but the causal MR result is mentioned without specific OR/CI in the abstract, requiring inference.
