Preserved vegetable consumption and its association with mortality among 440,415 people in the China Kadoorie Biobank.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fresh vegetable consumption has been associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, whether preserved vegetable consumption is linked with CVD and mortality remains unclear.
