Habitual intake of anthocyanins and flavanones and risk of cardiovascular disease in men

摘要

Background: Although increased fruit intake reduces cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, which fruits are most beneficial and what key constituents are responsible are unclear. Habitual intakes of flavonoids, specifically anthocyanins and flavanones, in which >90 of habitual intake is derived from fruit, are associated with decreased CVD risk in women, but associations in men are largely unknown.
