Description
Zeinab Ghorbani and co-authors published a 2023 study on whether eating more fiber, fruit, and vegetables helps people live longer. Earlier studies suggested such diets lower death rates, but evidence from Middle Eastern populations was incomplete. The team drew on a large long-term cohort in northern Iran, the Golestan Cohort Study.
Nearly forty-nine thousand adults, average age fifty-two, reported their diets on a detailed food questionnaire. Over about fourteen years of follow-up, 10,774 deaths were recorded. People with modestly higher fiber intake had a seven to ten percent lower risk of death from all causes than the lowest group. Their risk of death from other, non-major causes fell by fifteen to seventeen percent. Eating more fruit also tracked with lower mortality. The authors say the pattern supports dietary guidance in the region, while noting the middle intake groups, not the highest, showed the clearest gains.
