Metabolic adaptation
Higher carbohydrate intake is associated with a significant increase in total cardiovascular disease (CVD) events (HR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.10).
Practitioners should consider the potential risks of high carbohydrate intake on cardiovascular health.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Combining 27 effect sizes with 1,577,225 CVD cases led to a significant association between dietary carbohydrate and total CVD events (HR= 1.05, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.10; I2 = 38.5%).
Why this rating
Based on the meta-analysis of multiple cohort studies.
