A prospective cohort study of adults in India has found that those following a predominantly plant-based diet had lower risk of cardiovascular events than those eating an animal-based or mixed diet. Researchers followed nearly 10,000 participants and found that the plant-based group also had lower blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and body weight.
