The intake of saturated fatty acids (SAFAs) is directly associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, with a hazard ratio of 1.28 for one standard deviation increase.
Practitioners should consider the impact of saturated fat intake on heart disease risk in middle-aged men.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
the intake of SAFAs was directly while that of MUFAs was inversely and significantly associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality (the hazard ratio for one standard deviation was 1.28)
Why this rating
