Anti-inflammatory diet and risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm in two Swedish cohorts
Heart Jul 18, 2019
Kaluza J, et al. - Using the Cohort of Swedish Men including 45,072 men and the Swedish Mammography Cohort comprising 36,633 women, aged 45–83 years at baseline, researchers prospectively assessed the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in relation to anti-inflammatory potential of diet. For the estimation of the anti-inflammatory potential of diet, they used Anti-inflammatory Diet Index based on 11 foods with anti-inflammatory potential and 5 with proinflammatory potential (maximum 16 points) that was validated against high sensitivity C reactive protein. In this study, a reduced AAA risk was observed in relation to adherence to diet with high anti-inflammatory potential, a link that was even more pronounced for AAA rupture.
