In the US, made a list of dangerous food: it got all the most delicious

Regular consumption of fried foods is associated with an increased risk of death for any reason related to health, as well as death from cardiovascular problems. This problem is especially relevant for women, according to a new study among Americans.

Products such as fried chicken and fried fish or shellfish, scientists associated with a higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease, especially among women aged 50-65 years, writes Medical express. Researchers suggest that reducing consumption of fried foods can have a positive effect on public health at any age.

About a third of adults in North America eat fast food every day, and previous studies have shown that higher consumption of fried foods is associated with a high risk of developing diabetes type 2 and heart disease.

But the data on the risk of death associated with the use of fried foods was limited and constantly became a subject of controversy.

To solve this problem, American researchers have studied the relationship between eating fried foods and dying from any health-related cause. Particular attention was paid to mortality from cardiovascular diseases as one of the most common causes.

They used questionnaire data to assess the diets of 106 women aged 966 to 50 years, collected between 79 and 1993 - all participants remained under the study's authors' follow-up until February 1998.

During this time, 31 588 deaths occurred, including 9 320 deaths related to heart disease, 8 358 deaths from cancer and 13 880 from other causes.

Researchers paid attention to the general and specific consumption of various fried foods by women, among them:

• fried chicken;
• Fried fish;
• fish burgers;
• fried clams (shrimps and oysters);

and other fried or deep-fried foods:

• French fries;
• tortilla chips;
• taco

After taking into account potentially influential factors such as lifestyle, overall nutrition, education and income, the researchers found that those who ate one or more servings of this type of food per day risked 8% more than those who did not use fried foods .

Eating one or more servings of fried chicken per day increased the risk of death from any cause by 13% and by 12% due to cardiovascular problems. One or more servings of fried fish/shellfish per day increased the overall risk by 7% and the risk of dying from heart disease by 13%.

But researchers did not find evidence that eating fried foods was associated with cancer death.

In general, women who ate fried food regularly and more often than others were younger, with lower levels of education and income. They also smoked more often, played less sports and followed a low-quality diet.

The authors say that everything can be changed - the mortality factor decreases depending on the lifestyle that everyone chooses for themselves.

“Reducing consumption of fried foods, particularly fried chicken and fried fish/shellfish, may have a clinically significant impact on public health,” they conclude.
