[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2435826, member: 196898"] I think this section says a lot [I]"Plant‐centered diet quality was assessed using the APDQS, which is a hypothesis‐driven index based on 46 food groups, which are derived from individual foods collected. The APDQS reflects a theoretical concept that how foods affect human health does not act in isolation, but in concert, where nutrients and bioactive compounds in a mixture of individual foods consumed over time work together to produce health outcomes.[URL='https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.120.020718#jah36444-bib-0017']17[/URL] The food groups were classified into beneficial (20), adverse (13), and neutral (13) on the basis of their presumed prior known association with CVD" [/I] APDQS is hypothetical. and has a theoretical concept. Plain as day, clear as mud! Classifications based on the food's presumed association with CVD. Who says?

They claim to have contacted 90% of participants, but the cohort size in the 20-year review was less than half the 7-year group.

Nowhere do they seem to define CVD. Is it the mortality events, or does it include survivable strokes and heart attacks? Or is it the number of angiograms applied, or stenting operations required? But the abstract is laying out the case against all-cause mortality figures, so is not comparing the same things I suspect. [/QUOTE]
