Adjusted analysis disclosed a 36% lower risk of dying from any cause and a 46% lower risk of dying from cancer among those whose vitamin K1 intake was among the top 25% of participants in comparison with the lowest 25%. For those who actually increased their intake of vitamin K1, the risk of death was 43% lower and for vitamin K2, the risk was 45% lower than for subjects whose intake remained the same or was reduced. Improvement of vitamin K1 intake was also associated with a 36% lower risk of dying from cancer and improvement in K2 intake led to a 59% lower risk of dying from cancer during the follow-up period.
