Intake of glucosinolates and risk of coronary heart disease in three large prospective cohorts of US men and women
Clinical Epidemiology Jul 09, 2018
Ma L, et al. - The relationship between the intake of glucosinolates and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in US men and women was assessed in this prospective longitudinal cohort study. Seventy-four thousand, two hundred forty-one women in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS; 1984–2012), 94,163 women in the NHSII (1991–2013), and 42,170 men in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986–2012), who had no cardiovascular disease or cancer at baseline were followed. It was noted that participants who ate one or more servings per week of Brussels sprouts and cabbage had a significantly higher CHD risk than those who consumed these cruciferous vegetables less than once per month. It was concluded that dietary glucosinolate intake was correlated with a slightly higher risk of CHD in US adults.
