TL;DR: High carbohydrate intake was associated with higher risk of total mortality, whereas total fat and individual types of fat were related to lower total mortality.

Modifiable risk factors, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in 155 722 individuals from 21 high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries (PURE): a prospective cohort study

TL;DR: The prevalence, hazard ratios, and population-attributable fractions (PAFs) for cardiovascular disease and mortality associated with a cluster of behavioural factors, metabolic factors, socioeconomic and psychosocial factors, and household and ambient pollution are described.

Fruit, vegetable, and legume intake, and cardiovascular disease and deaths in 18 countries (PURE): a prospective cohort study

Victoria Miller, +355 more
- 04 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: Higher total fruit, vegetable, and legume intake was inversely associated with major cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality, non-cardiovascular mortality, and total mortality in the models adjusted for age, sex, and centre (random effect).
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in common diseases, hospital admissions, and deaths in middle-aged adults in 21 countries from five continents (PURE): a prospective cohort study.

TL;DR: This analysis assesses the incidence of events in 162 534 participants who were enrolled in the first two phases of the PURE core study, finding a pattern of the highest mortality in LICs and the lowest in HICs was observed for all causes of death except cancer, where mortality was similar across country income levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Socioeconomic status and risk of cardiovascular disease in 20 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiologic (PURE) study

TL;DR: Major cardiovascular events were more common among those with low levels of education in all types of country studied, but much more so in low-income countries, and differences in outcomes between educational groups were not explained by differences in risk factors.
