Lowers eating carotenoids AS the chance of getting?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 5 prospective cohort studies with 1100910 participants (562942 men and 537968 women) whose 1153 persons now deceased were as.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that the intake of carotenoids in the top group compared with the lowest group, the risk of getting as significant with 25% [pooled, multivariate-adjusted RR for the highest to the lowest quintile = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.61-0.91, P for trend = 0.004] reduced. Significant is, there is a link at a 95% reliability.
The researchers found that the intake of beta carotene in the top group compared with the lowest group, the risk of getting 15% IF non-significant [pooled, multivariate-adjusted RR for the highest to the lowest quintile = 0.85. 95% CI = 0.64-1.13, P for trend = 0.03] reduced. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability.
The researchers found that the intake of lutein in the top group compared with the lowest group, the risk of getting as significant by 21% [pooled, multivariate-adjusted RR for the highest to the lowest quintile = 0.79. 95% CI = 0.64-0.96, P for trend = 0.01] reduced.
The researchers found that lycopene, beta-cryptoxanthin and vitamin C reduced the risk of getting if not.
The researchers concluded that eating a lot of carotenoids, including beta-carotene and lutein reduced the chance of getting AS.

Additional information about El Mondo:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) comes from the Greek: A (means no), myo (refers to muscles), trofie (meaning food). IF is a muscle disease, in which muscles get no or insufficient power or nerve impulses.
The exact cause of the disease is not yet known.
Beta-carotene and lutein are carotenoids. Read more about carotenoids. The content of carotenoids, beta-carotene and lutein of a product can be looked up in the NEVO-table.
