Plant-based diets are associated with a lower risk of incident cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular disease mortality, and all-cause mortality in a general population of middle-aged adults

Kim H, et al. – Because plant-based diets have been shown to confer cardiometabolic health benefits in previous studies with selected study populations, researchers tested this finding in a general population by using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

Using four diet indexes—overall plant-based diet index, provegetarian diet index, healthy plant-based diet index, and less healthy plant-based diet index—participants’ diets were classified.
