We evaluated the association between potato consumption (including fried and non-fried types) and three key cardiometabolic outcomes among middle-aged and older adults in the Framingham Offspring Study. We included 2523 subjects ≥30 years of age with available dietary data from 3-d food records. Cox-proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for hypertension, type 2 diabetes or impaired fasting glucose (T2DM/IFG), and elevated triglycerides, adjusting for anthropometric, demographic and lifestyle factors. In the present study, 36 % of potatoes consumed were baked, 28 % fried, 14 % mashed, 9 % boiled and the rest cooJournal of nutritional sciencee73https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9453580biostudies-literaturePotato consumption is not associated with cardiometabolic health outcomes in Framingham Offspring Study adults.PMC9453580Yiannakou ISinger MRPickering RTYuan MMoore LLfalsePotato consumption is not associated with cardiometabolic health outcomes in Framingham Offspring Study adults.Some consider potatoes to be unhealthy vegetables that may contribute to adverse cardiometabolic health outcomes.
