Dietary intake of plant- and animal-derived protein and incident cardiovascular diseases: the pan-European EPIC-CVD case-cohort study

CONCLUSION: Plant- or animal-derived protein intake was not associated with overall CVD. However, the association of plant-derived protein consumption with lower total stroke incidence among non-smokers, and with lower incidence of fatal stroke highlights the importance of investigating CVD sub-types and potential interactions. These observations warrant further investigation in diverse populations with varying macronutrient intakes and dietary patterns.PMID:38479550 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.03.006
