The Association Between Plant-Based Diet and Gallstone Disease: A Case-Control Study
Our study revealed that a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a reduced risk of GD, whereas an unhealthy plant-based diet may contribute to a greater susceptibility to disease, emphasizing the importance of diet quality in plant-based nutritional approaches. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
