Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the link between diet drink consumption and cardiovascular events in postmenopausal women, finding that higher intake (2 drinks per day) is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, death from CVD, and overall mortality.
  • Researchers analyzed data from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study involving 59,614 women over an average of nearly 9 years, adjusting for other risk factors to isolate the effects of diet drinks.
  • The findings suggest that consuming multiple diet drinks daily may elevate the risk of serious cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in this population.]
