"The study noted that most participants ate ramen at least once a month, and nearly one in three ate it weekly. The researchers found that the people who ate ramen often tended to be younger men who smoked, drank alcohol and who were overweight. They were also more likely to have comorbidities such as diabetes or high blood pressure. The researchers also asked respondents how much of the ramen broth they would typically drink, splitting it into 'up to half' and 'at least half'."
"They followed up on the cohort after four and a half years, and in the case of someone passing away, they used official death records to establish the cause of death. They discovered that 145 people had died, 100 from cancer, and 29 from heart disease. After crunching the data, the researchers concluded that people who drank at least half of the salty ramen soup, and also ate ramen often, had a higher risk of death."
More than 6,500 adults aged 40 and older in Yamagata, Japan were classified by ramen consumption frequency: less than once a month; one to three times a month; once or twice a week; and three or more times a week. Most participants ate ramen at least monthly and nearly one in three ate it weekly. Frequent ramen eaters tended to be younger men who smoked, drank alcohol, were overweight, and had comorbidities such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Respondents reported whether they drank up to half or at least half of the broth. After 4.5 years, 145 deaths occurred; higher mortality correlated with frequent consumption and drinking at least half the broth, with especially elevated risk among men under 70 and among those who combined frequent ramen with alcohol.
