During 15 years of follow-up (in which 13,000 deaths occurred), total soy intake was not associated with all-cause death; however, fermented soy intake (e.g., natto, miso) was associated significantly and inversely with all-cause death in both men and women. In analyses adjusted for potentially confounding variables, all-cause death was 10% lower among people in the highest quintile of fermented soy intake than among those in the lowest quintile.
