Flavonoid intake, inflammation, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional study
This study indicates the inverse association between flavonoid intake, particularly flavan-3-ols, flavones, and flavonols, and the risk of ASCVD. It highlights the mediating role of CRP and NLR in this relationship. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of considering lifestyle factors and sex when evaluating the cardiovascular benefits of flavonoids.
