A greater intake of plant fat is associated with a lower risk for overall mortality (HRs, 0.91) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality (HRs, 0.86), particularly from grains and vegetable oils.
Encouraging higher plant fat intake, especially from grains and oils, may benefit longevity.

- A higher intake of total animal fat is associated with an increased risk for overall mortality (HRs, 1.16) and CVD mortality (HRs, 1.14).Strong
- Replacing 5% energy from animal fat with 5% energy from plant fat is associated with a 4% to 24% reduction in overall mortality and a 5% to 30% reduction in CVD mortality.Strong
