Association of dietary intake of branched-chain amino acids with long-term risks of CVD, cancer and all-cause mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to investigate the associations between dietary branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) intake and long-term risks of CVD, cancer and all-cause mortality in nationwide survey participants aged ≥ 18.

Design

This was a prospective cohort study. Dietary intakes of BCAA (leucine, isoleucine and valine) were determined from the total nutrient intake document. The main outcomes were CVD, cancer and all-cause mortality.

Setting

A nationally representative sample of US adults were recruited by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) from 1988 to 1994.

Participants

A total of 14 397 adults aged ≥ 18 who participated in the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III) were included.
