- The study examined the link between green tea consumption and the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) among a Chinese population, involving 801 participants (401 with AF, 400 controls).
- Results indicated that green tea intake serves as a protective factor against AF, with a significantly lower odds ratio (0.349) for those who drank green tea.
- Even low levels of green tea consumption were found to reduce the incidence of both paroxysmal and persistent AF, suggesting that drinking green tea can be beneficial for heart health.
