Abstract in brief

  • The study found that elderly women who ate more apples had a lower risk of dying from all causes and specific diseases over 15 years.
  • Consuming at least one apple a day was linked to a significant reduction in mortality risk compared to eating less than 5 grams daily.
  • Higher intake of other fruits like bananas and overall fruit consumption also appeared to decrease the risks of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer.
