Fruit Consumption Linked to Less Cardiovascular Diseases食用水果与心血管病较少有关

A study in China found that a higher level of fruit consumption was associated with lower blood pressure and blood glucose levels and with significantly lower risks of major cardiovascular diseases. The study recruited 512,891 adults 30 to 79 years of age between 2004 and 2008, and followed 3.2 million person-years. Compared with participants who never or rarely consumed fresh fruit, those who ate fresh fruit daily had lower systolic blood pressure and blood glucose levels, as well as lower risks of cardiovascular death, incident major coronary events, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. There was a strong log-linear dose–response relationship between the incidence of each outcome and the amount of fresh fruit consumed. These associations were similar across the study regions and in subgroups of participants defined by baseline characteristics. Source: http://www.nejm.org/

中国的一项研究发现，水果消费较多与较低的血压和血糖水平，并与显著降低的主要心血管病风险有关。该研究2004年至2008年间招募了512891名30〜79岁的成年人，随访320万人年。与无或很少食用新鲜水果者相比，那些每天吃新鲜水果者收缩压和血糖水平较；心血管病死亡，发生主要冠脉事件，缺血性和出血性中风的风险亦较低。上述每项结果的发生率和消耗的新鲜水果量之间有很强的对数线性量效关系。这些关系在各个研究区，及根据基线特征设定的各亚组均相似。来源：http://www.nejm.org/
