Abstract in brief

  • The study explored how different Nordic foods like fruits, vegetables, fatty and lean fish, wholegrain, and low-fat dairy are linked to overall mortality in Norwegian women, using data from nearly 84,000 participants over 20 years.
  • Most of these foods showed nonlinear relationships with mortality: moderate consumption of Nordic fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, and low-fat dairy was associated with lower risk, but very high intake of fatty fish and dairy actually increased mortality risk.
  • These findings suggest that balanced intake of these healthy Nordic foods may help reduce long-term mortality, but excessive consumption of some items like fatty fish and low-fat dairy could be harmful.

Tosi outo epidemiologinen norjalaistutkimus. Lähes kaikkein analysoitujen (oletetusti terveellisten, esim. hed & vih) ruokaryhmien runsas käyttö oli yhteydessä suurempaan kuolleisuuteen. Tätä asiaa tutkijat eivät oikeastaan pohtineet lainkaan. https://t.co/Gxxx04HXeN
