Association Between Increased Central and Peripheral Arterial 2 Stiffness and Vitamin Intake in Healthy Adults: EVA Follow-Up 3 Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEvidence from prospective studies on the relationship of the dietary vitamin intake and the progression of central and peripheral arterial stiffness remains limited.
objectiveTo evaluate the association between dietary vitamin intake with the changes in central and peripheral arterial stiffness over a five-year follow-up in adults without previous cardiovascular disease.
methodsThis five-year longitudinal study included 466 participants from the EVA study who were evaluated at baseline and follow-up (mean age 55.96 ± 14.15 years; 51.1% women). Central arterial stiffness was assessed using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and peripheral arterial stiffness was measured using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Dietary vitamin intake was estimated using the EVIDENT smartphone application, developed and validated by CGB and the Salamanca Primary Care (APISAL; registration number 00/2014/2207).
resultsIn multivariable linear regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, lifestyle factors, and cardiovascular risk factors, greater increases in cfPWV were inversely associated with vitamin B9 (folate) intake (β = -0.233; 95% CI: -0.390 to -0.075) and vitamin C intake (β = -0.291; 95% CI: -0.507 to -0.075). Similarly, increases in baPWV were inversely associated with vitamin B9 intake (β = -0.156; 95% CI: -0.287 to -0.025) and vitamin C intake (β = -0.223; 95%CI: -0.402 to -0.044).
conclusionsThe progression of central and peripheral arterial stiffness over five years was greater in individuals with lower dietary intakes of vitamin B9 and vitamin C. These findings provide novel evidence supporting the possible role of dietary vitamin intake in the progression of arterial stiffness with aging.
