type: hypothesis
id: H-44
state: active
question: At what intake level is egg consumption optimal, and is the egg-CVD dose-response monotonic or U-shaped?
statement: The relationship between habitual egg intake and CVD/mortality risk is U-shaped with an optimum around 3-<6 eggs/week; both markedly lower (<1/week) and higher (>=10/week) habitual intake carry elevated risk in Chinese adults.
cluster: HC-1 - Overall net effect of moderate habitual egg intake on cardiovascular disease and mortality
source: S-81 - China-PAR project- U-shaped egg intake vs incident CVD and mortality (Xia 2020)
locator: Discussion / Conclusion

The authors’ conclusion: “moderate egg consumption of 3-<6/week should be recommended for CVD prevention in China.”
