Food additive emulsifiers and risk of cardiovascular disease in the NutriNet-Sante cohort: prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the associations between exposure to food additive emulsifiers and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

French NutriNet-Santé study, 2009-21.

Participants

95 442 adults (>18 years) without prevalent CVD who completed at least three 24 hour dietary records during the first two years of follow-up.

Main outcome measures

Associations between intake of food additive emulsifiers (continuous (mg/day)) and risk of CVD, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease characterised using multivariable proportional hazard Cox models to compute hazard ratios for each additional standard deviation (SD) of emulsifier intake, along with 95% confidence intervals.

Results

Mean age was 43.1 (SD 14.5)
