Nutrient patterns and mortality: results from the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort (J-MICC) study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The consumption of a healthy diet may play an important role in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Although associations between nutrient patterns and cardiometabolic risk factors or NCDs have been examined, the associations between nutrient patterns and mortality remain unknown.

Methods

A prospective cohort analysis was performed on the data of 72,939 participants aged 35-69 years with a mean follow-up of 11.7 years in the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study.
