Multiple clinical and nutrition research studies have been published in peer reviewed journals, with filings logged through 14 October 2026.

Scientists from Israel reported in Frontiers in Nutrition that adherence to the DASH diet was associated with a 76% reduced risk of ischemic stroke in elderly women. The analysis followed 1,177 participants over an average 6.6 years.[^1][^2]

A separate study published 14 October 2026 examined 141 hospitalized adults in Beijing with an average age of 74.8. This study found participants with malnutrition had statistically lower resting metabolic rates than those without malnutrition.[^3][^4]

Loma Linda University researchers published work in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics finding daily walnut consumption correlates with lower Dietary Inflammatory Index scores.[^5]

Researchers from the University of Alberta published a systematic review in the British Journal of General Practice analyzing 27 randomized controlled trials comparing opioids with nonopioid pain management for osteoarthritis or chronic low back pain.[^6]

A 2026 study in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology analyzed 2016 to 2021 Medicare liver cancer patient data covering approximately 110,000 patients annually. Researchers found interventional radiologists treated nearly 51% of this patient group, with treatment volumes increasing over the study period.[^7][^8]
