Data about celery was provided by 1 cohort. A nonsignificant protective effect was found against total CVD death, but no association was found with CHD death.

Conclusion: A protective effect was found, but this association was nonsignificant and restricted to findings from one cohort. No evidence was found for an association between celery and CVD.
