Abstract

Researka accepted publication: df332b7c-bd8d-4a92-a3d4-96525422ee43 Source submission: 8e0b295b-2b4b-41b4-bf8d-d837812b50b2 The cited A/B receipts support a specific working claim: healthful plant-based diets were associated with decreased CVD incidence (pooled HR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.80-0.95); Lower hPDI were associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment (HR = 1.46; 95% CI 1.29-1.66). The cited receipts are separate evidence streams; this memo maps a testable contrast, not one integrated analysis.
