#Fruit and #vegetable consumption and psychological #distress: cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses based on a large Australian sample

http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/7/3/e014201

Baseline fruit and vegetable consumption, measured separately or combined, was associated with a lower incidence of psychological distress in minimally adjusted models. Most of these associations remained significant at medium levels of intake but were no longer significant at the highest intake levels in fully adjusted models.

Conclusions Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption may help reduce psychological distress in middle-aged and older adults. However, the association of fruit and vegetable consumption with the incidence of psychological distress requires further investigation, including the possibility of a threshold effect between medium and higher consumption levels.

Fresh #fruit consumption in relation to incident #diabetes and diabetic vascular complications: A 7-y prospective study of 0.5 million Chinese adults

http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1002279

The main limitation of this study was that, owing to its observational nature, we could not fully exclude the effects of residual confounding.

Conclusion

In this large epidemiological study in Chinese adults, higher fresh fruit consumption was associated with significantly lower risk of diabetes and, among diabetic individuals, lower risks of death and development of major vascular complications.

#Fruit and #Vegetable Intake and Mortality in Adults undergoing Maintenance #Hemodialysis

Compared with the lowest tertile of servings per week (0–5.5, median 2), the adjusted hazard ratios for the middle (5.6–10, median 8) and highest (>10, median 17) tertiles were 0.90 (95% CI, 0.81 to 1.00) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.71 to 0.91) for all-cause mortality, 0.88 (95% CI, 0.76 to 1.02) and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.66 to 0.91) for noncardiovascular mortality and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.81 to 1.11) and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.70 to 1.00) for cardiovascular mortality, respectively.

Conclusions Fruit and vegetable intake in the hemodialysis population is low and a higher consumption is associated with lower all-cause and noncardiovascular death.
