The Claim
In women aged 49 years and older, higher nut consumption (second tertile compared to first tertile) is associated with a statistically significant reduction in 15-year mortality risk, including a 27% reduction in all-cause mortality, 39% in cardiovascular disease mortality, 34% in ischemic heart disease mortality, and 49% in stroke mortality.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating more nuts may help older women live longer — especially by lowering their chances of dying from heart disease or stroke over the next 15 years.
See the scientific wording
In women aged 49 and older, higher nut consumption (second tertile vs first tertile) is associated with significant reductions in 15-year mortality risk, specifically a 27% reduction in all-cause mortality, 39% in cardiovascular disease, 34% in ischemic heart disease, and 49% in stroke mortality.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Consumption of nuts and risk of total and cause-specific mortality over 15 years.
The study looked at how eating more nuts affects death risk in older women, and found exactly the benefits claimed: fewer deaths from heart disease, stroke, and other causes in women who ate more nuts.
