Cruciferous and Allium Vegetable Intakes are Inversely Associated With 15-Year Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease Deaths in Older Adult Women.
A significant reduction in atherosclerotic vascular disease mortality risk appear to be related to habitual consumption of cruciferous and allium vegetables in older women.
This study evaluated the correlation between the intake of cruciferous and allium vegetables and the likelihood of dying from atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) in Australian women. Researchers from the University of Western Australia, Australia, tracked the diets and mortality records of 1,226 women aged 70 years and above for 15 years.
Researchers discovered that women who strictly adhered to a dietary pattern typified by high intake of allium and cruciferous vegetables had lower atherosclerotic vascular disease mortality risk than their counterparts on diets low on these vegetables. The consumption of an extra serving of cruciferous and allium vegetables per day was found to reduce the incidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease deaths in older women by 20%. Data from this study show that frequent consumption of cruciferous and allium vegetables may diminish an older woman's risk of dying from atherosclerotic vascular disease.
