Coronary heart disease and stroke disease burden attributable to fruit and vegetable intake in Japan: projected DALYS to 2060
Sticking to a diet high in fruits and vegetables may be beneficial for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD).
This study aimed to predict the impact of high fruit and vegetable diets on the burden of stroke and coronary heart disease in Japan by 2060. Researchers analyzed projected data on the fruit and vegetable consumption frequency and incidence of cardiovascular disease in Japan from 2015-2060.
Researchers discovered that moderate increase in the rate of intake of fruits and vegetables was estimated to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease by 7.9% and 5.4% respectively in Japan by the year 2060. "The study suggested that a relevantly large percentage of the CVD burden can be alleviated by promoting even modest increases in fruit and vegetable consumption in Japan."
