Drawing from the Golestan Cohort Study in Iran, 42,403 participants over 11 years, the authors found that higher egg consumption was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Additionally, increased fish intake was linked to reduced risks of total cancer and gastrointestinal cancer mortality. Higher legume consumption was associated with decreased risks of total cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, and other cancer mortality. However, no significant associations were found between total red meat and poultry intake and mortality rates. These findings suggest that within this Iranian sample, higher consumption of fish and legumes is associated with lower cancer mortality, while higher egg consumption is linked to lower all-cause mortality.
