Data about cabbages was provided by 2 cohorts. A nonsignificant protective effect (trend) of Chinese cabbage was found in one cohort among women only (32).
No association with cabbages was found in the other study (21).
Conclusion: No significant associations were found. No evidence was found for an association between cabbages and mortality.
