Dairy consumption and mortality after myocardial infarction: a prospective analysis in the Alpha Omega Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population-based studies generally show neutral associations between dairy consumption and ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality, whereas weak inverse associations were found for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke mortality. Whether dairy consumption affects long-term survival after myocardial infarction (MI) is unknown.

Objectives

We studied types of dairy and long-term mortality risk in drug-treated post-MI patients.

Methods

We included 4365 Dutch patients from the Alpha Omega Cohort aged 60-80 y (21% women) with an MI ≤10 y before enrollment. Dietary data were collected at baseline (2002-2006) using a 203-item FFQ and patients were followed for cause-specific mortality through December 2018.
