Olive oil intake and risk of cardiovascular disease
and mortality in the PREDIMED Study
Background: It is unknown whether individuals at high cardiovascular risk sustain a benefit in cardiovascular
disease from increased olive oil consumption. The aim was to assess the association between total olive oil intake,
its varieties (extra virgin and common olive oil) and the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a
Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk.
Methods: We included 7,216 men and women at high cardiovascular risk, aged 55 to 80 years, from the
PREvención con ...
