statement
In the pooled Lifetime Risk Pooling Project (29,682 US adults; 6,963 incident CVD events; median 19 y follow-up), isocalorically replacing 1 serving/day of eggs with nuts (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.71-0.88), legumes (0.82, 0.72-0.94), whole grains (0.83, 0.77-0.90) or fish (0.85, 0.77-0.94) was associated with 15-21% lower incident CVD; at 1 serving/week the reductions were 2-3% (30-year absolute risk 0.4-0.7% lower).

Results, Table 2 (incident CVD, eggs column, 1 serving/day)

Cohort-stratified cause-specific hazard models; all eight protein foods plus demographic/lifestyle covariates in one model (total food amount constrained). 1-serving/week HRs for eggs→fish/nuts/legumes/whole grains all ~0.97-0.99. Poultry as comparator: CVD 0.92 (0.84-1.01), non-significant.
