Researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and colleagues assessed whether dietary fiber intake is associated with reduced inflammation in older adults and whether fiber is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease
Data for the study came from a large, well-characterized prospective cohort of older adults and included detailed data on dietary intake, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease incidence
Cardiovascular Health Study of 4,125 adults from 1989 to 1990.
