Relationship between low vegetable consumption, increased high-sensitive C-reactive protein level, and cardiometabolic risk in Korean adults with Tae-eumin: A cross-sectional study
Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine May 16, 2021
Kim J, Jeong K, Lee S, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to explore the connection between vegetable consumption and the high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level on cardiometabolic risk factors in Korean adults by constitution types. The sample consisted of 1,983 eligible candidates (mean age, 44.3 years). Based on their constitution types, the participants' inflammatory status was classified as low-risk (< 3.0 mg/L) or high-risk (≥ 3.0 mg/L). The results of this study show that there is a significant relationship between dietary factors, hs-CRP levels, and cardiometabolic risk factors in Korean adults based on constitution type. The current findings suggest that increasing vegetable consumption has cardioprotective effects in Korean adults with Tae-eumin. To reduce CVD-related premature mortality, evidence-based clinical risk factor management and multifaceted approaches at the community and population levels aimed at prevention in high-burden groups are critical.
