One paraphrase of the quote you provide is "Among Chinese adults, consuming less than 1 egg per day is associated with lower risk of CVD".
An even simpler paraphrase is "eating less than 1 egg a day is associated with lower CVD".
To answer your question directly, one can reasonably infer from the quote you provide that it is best to eat fewer eggs.
EDIT: change quantifying adjective from "less" to "fewer"
- tgb 8y agoNo that's exactly wrong. Consumption of eggs was positively correlated with better CVD outcomes but they only had data to conclude that this holds up to an amount less than 1 egg per day. People with .76 fared better than those with .29 per day.
- mistersquid 8y agoThank you for clarifying. Even this native English speaker was confused. In my partial defense, concluding something like "eating up to but less than one egg per day is inversely associated with CVD risk" is odd and somewhat defies common sense. My incorrect translation is a good reminder for me that scientific language doesn't always easily translate into conversational language. EDIT: remove repeated word
