A Norwegian study found that higher potato consumption moderately reduces the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in adults.
By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D.May 21 2024Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. A recent study published in The Journal of Nutrition finds that potato consumption moderately reduces the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease -specific mortality in adults.
Despite containing essential nutrients, potatoes are generally not considered a recommended vegetable due to their high starch content. In fact, potato intake has been linked to cardiometabolic disease risk due to their high glycemic index. A total of 77,297 adult individuals between 18 and 64 years of age were enrolled in the study. Study participants were invited to participate in three cardiovascular health screenings conducted between 1974 and 1988.
Study findings The baseline characterization of participants revealed that males were more likely to have higher potato intake than females. Study participants with high potato intake were more likely to have only compulsory education, be current smokers, report greater physical activity, and be less likely to be obese or overweight as compared to those with the lowest potato intake.
Considering daily cumulative mean intake, a 4% reduced risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease-specific mortality was observed with each 100 grams per day increment in potato intake. This association remained stable for all-cause mortality risk after adjusting for sex, body mass index , smoking status, and physical activity level.
