More from this paper
- Higher carbohydrate intake was associated with lower CVD risk, with the lowest risk for quintile 3 (41.0%–44.3% energy as carbohydrate) versus quintile 1 (<37.1% energy as carbohydrate) (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.91, p=0.02).Strong
- Increasing saturated fat intake was not associated with CVD or mortality and instead correlated with lower rates of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.Strong
