Diets lower in carbohydrate and higher in protein were observed to increase
total and particularly cardiovascular mortality among Swedish women.

Results. Decreasing carbohydrate or increasing protein intake by one decile
were associated with increase in total mortality by 6% (95% CI: 0-12%) and
2% (95% CI: -1 to 5%), respectively. For cardiovascular mortality, amongst
women 40-49 years old at enrolment, the corresponding increases were,
respectively, 13% (95% CI: -4 to 32%) and 16% (95% CI: 5-29%), with the
additive score being even more predictive.

Conclusions. A diet characterized by low carbohydrate and high protein
intake was associated with increased total and particularly cardiovascular
mortality amongst women. Vigilance with respect to long-term adherence to
such weight control regimes is advisable.

What does this mean ?

Decreasing carbohydrate or increasing protein intake by one decile
were associated with increase in total mortality by 6%

decile
n : (statistics) any of nine points that divided a distribution
of ranked scores into equal intervals where each interval
contains one-tenth of the scores


Help!


Wondering if....

Good carbs are good and so are good fats.
Bad carbs are not good and neither are bad fats.
Less food is good and too much food is bad.
Balance on freshness and avoid stale.

Any simpler mantra out here?
