A new research suggests that people with cardiometabolic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, or heart disease, who adopt a healthy plant-based diet may lower the risk of premature death. These disorders affect the health of a person’s cardiovascular system and how the body processes food. They are the result of several genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Closer adherence to healthful diets was associated with a 17–24% lower risk of death from any cause, cardiovascular disease, or cancer. Meanwhile, people with a closer adherence to unhealthful plant-based diets had a 28–36% higher risk of death from any cause, cardiovascular disease, or cancer.
