Dietary Fat & Mortality in a Population With Low Fat Intake
A U-shaped association was found between total fat intake and all-cause mortality in women. The risk for female mortality decreased with increasing intakes of SFA, MUFA, and PUFA through the top quintile of intakes. Our findings from a large cohort study among populations with relatively low fat intake will provide evidence regarding optimal levels of fat intake.
