NEW YORK (MedscapeWire) Apr 29 Tea drinking is linked to lower risk of ischemic heart disease, according to results of a longitudinal analysis from the Rotterdam Study reported in the May issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
"We observed a strong inverse relation between tea intake and incident myocardial infarction (MI), and the relation was stronger in women than in men," write Johanna M. Geleijnse, PhD, from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and colleagues.
From 1990 to 1997, the Rotterdam Study followed 4807 Dutch adults aged 55 years at study entry who had no history of MI. During follow-up for 5.6 years on average, there were 146 incidents of MI including 30 that were fatal. Compared with those who drank no tea, patients who consumed more than 375 mL of tea per day had 43% risk reduction in MI and 70% risk reduction in fatal MI. Higher intakes of specific flavonoids found in black tea were significantly associated with reduced risk of fatal but not of nonfatal MI
