Study: Multivitamin reduces woman’s risk for heart attacks
Author: 
While there are plenty of reasons for people to be on targeted health regimens to optimize certain areas of health, it’s always prudent to not overlook the basics, which includes taking a regular multivitamin. New research backs up that claim.
According to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women who took a multivitamin on a regular basis “were 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack than their peers who didn’t use multivitamins.”
According to reports on the study, “[t]he association between multivitamin use and myocardial infarction was seen to be stronger among women using multivitamins for more than five years.”
A new study found that women who take a multivitamin regularly could reduce the risk of heart attacks
A quality multivitamin nutraceutical creates a sound foundation to accompany a balanced diet. There is no substitute for a healthy, well-balanced diet; however, in today’s fast-paced lifestyles it is important to ensure the body is getting the fuel it needs.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Nutrition is the foundation for health and development. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. Healthy children learn better. Healthy people are stronger, more productive, and more able to create opportunities to gradually break the cycles of both poverty and hunger in a sustainable way. Better nutrition is a prime entry point to ending poverty and a milestone to achieving better quality of life.”

I have a problem with the quote below. It would appear to be against taking the multivitamin.
According to reports on the study, “[t]he association between multivitamin use and myocardial infarction was seen to be stronger among women using multivitamins for more than five years.”
Well, it says “the association between the two”, meaning that there is a relationship between use or nonuse of a multivitamin and the presence or lack of a myocardial infarction. It isn’t saying that women who use the multi for 5 years are more likely to have a myocardial infarction, although it may sound like that is what it is saying. It is saying that there is an association between the two and that said association is stronger in women who have been using a multivitamin for five years. It defines what that association is-in blue print when it says, women who took a multivitamin on a regular basis “were 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack than their peers who didn’t use multivitamins.”
The quote cannot be changed because it is a quote taken from a study, however it would have been clearer to the reader, if the author had explained what was meant by that quote. This stuff should be written clear enough for the average person to understand the point of the communication. i studied statistics in college and am familiar with the wording of studies, otherwise I too may have thought that it was saying that women who take multivitamins for more than 5 years are more likely to have myocardial infarctions, which is clearly not the case.
It is trying to say that there is an association between women who take multivitamins and myocardial infarction, which is that these women who took a multi on a regular basis were 40% less likely to suffer a heart attack than their peers who didn’t use a multi. It seems to then be saying that this is even moreso the case(?) for those who take the multi consistently for five years.
