Although absence of PD was significantly associated with prior consumption of legumes(adjusted OR=0.27,95%CI 0.09 to 0.78),a dietary variable preselected for high vitamin E content,neither food categories nor quartiles nor continuous variables of vitamin E consumption were significantly associated with PD occurrence.Though consistent with prior reports of PD protection afforded by legumes,and with speculation on the possible benefits of dietary or supplemental vitamin E in preventing PD, these preliminary data do not conclusively document a beneficial effect of dietary vitamin E on PD occurrence. |
