Cardiovascular
Olive oil intake and CVD risk
Open access · cc by · source: Europe PMC
Higher olive oil intake tracked lower major CVD events and cardiovascular death in PREDIMED participants.
Key findings
Each additional 10 g/day olive oil associated with 13% lower major CVD events (HR 0.87) and 16% lower CV mortality (HR 0.84).
Methodology
In 7,216 PREDIMED participants, baseline olive oil intake was related to incident major CVD events and mortality over median 4.8 years.
Limitations
Observational intake contrasts within a trial cohort are not equivalent to randomising olive oil alone; residual confounding possible.

Role on claims
Each row is a claim on a concept or method page where this paper supports, challenges, or qualifies the statement. Roles are hand-checked — not a model guess.
Each additional 10 g/day olive oil associated with 13% lower major CVD events (HR 0.87) and 16% lower CV mortality (HR 0.84).
Evidence for the claim as stated.
Diet and alcohol papers in this set report HRs for incident depression or CVD that are threshold-like or beverage-specific rather than strictly linear. Low-to-moderate alcohol (>5–15 g/day) had HR 0.72 for incident depression among 5,505 older Mediterranean adults; each extra 10 g/day olive oil in PREDIMED participants had HR 0.87 for major CVD events; higher diet-quality quintiles had depression HRs around 0.74–0.78.
