Flavonoid intake and risk of CVD: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies (original) (raw)

“…On one hand, epidemiological studies have concluded that a high flavonoid intake benefits health (23,99) and certain lifespan studies in worms, flies and even mice show that flavonoids could promote longevity. On the other hand, the findings in mammalian model organisms are contradictory and health-related data on flavonoids in human subjects have been obtained from epidemiological Literature review of flavonoids and lifespan in model organisms…”

“…Dietary flavonoid intake has been reported to be protective against CVD in a number of cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies (72)(73)(74)(75). A recent meta-analysis examined the association between specific classes of flavonoid intake and CVD in prospective cohort studies (76) (76). Prospective cohort studies are useful for studying the effects of specific dietary components on long-term disease risk.…”
