20-year prospective cohort study tracked mortality outcomes in 114,140 Korean adults

A recent study published in the Nutrition Journal explored the association between nut consumption and the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and cancer mortality in Korean adults.

This 20-year prospective cohort study tracked mortality outcomes in 114,140 Korean adults over an average period of 12 years. Baseline consumption of almonds, pine nuts, and peanuts —the country’s most consumed nuts— was assessed using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.

The findings showed that people who consumed two or more 15-gram servings of nuts per week had a 12% lower risk of all-cause mortality than those who did not eat nuts. Nut consumption also showed a non-linear dose-response relationship with CVD mortality. The authors concluded that nut consumption should be encouraged for the long-term health of Korean adults.
