Contrasting Associations of Prudent and Western Dietary Patterns with Risk of Developing Venous Thromboembolism.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Published studies are inconsistent about whether differences in diet are associated with risk of venous thromboembolism. We studied the association between dietary patterns and incident venous thromboembolism in a large US cohort.
