Why the study?
Does whole-grain consumption reduce the risk of carotid atherosclerosis in an adult Chinese population?
Does whole-grain consumption reduce the risk of carotid atherosclerosis in an adult Chinese population?
Whole-grain consumption was not significantly associated with carotid atherosclerosis risk in this Chinese cohort, though this finding may be limited by overall low consumption levels.
No CA risk link seen with low whole-grain intake; leaves open effects at higher levels and should not change practice.
: Our data indicate that whole-grain consumption had no significant association with the risk of CA in an adult Chinese population. In our study population, there is a low consumption of whole-grain, which may limit our ability to see an association. Further cohort studies or randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm our results.
