Moderate Egg Consumption Linked to Reduced Cardiovascular Death Risk in Older Adults: New Research Offers Reassurance for Thai Dietary Traditions
Comprehensive new research examining egg consumption patterns among older adults reveals that eating one to six eggs per week associates with a 29% reduction in cardiovascular death risk compared to minimal egg intake, providing scientific support for moderate egg inclusion in healthy dietary patterns. The large-scale longitudinal study challenges previous concerns about dietary cholesterol and cardiovascular health while offering evidence-based reassurance for Thai families who have traditionally included eggs in balanced meal planning. These findings prove particularly relevant for Thailand’s aging population, where affordable, accessible protein sources become increasingly important for maintaining nutritional adequacy and supporting healthy longevity throughout the kingdom’s demographic transition.
