The association of dietary fatty acids intake with overall and cause-specific mortality: a prospective cohort study from 1999-2018 cycles of the NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Existing studies have evaluated the association of dietary fatty acids with mortality. However, the findings remained contentious. Our aimed to investigate the association of total dietary fat and each type of fatty acids with overall and cause-specific mortality.

Methods

We conducted a population-based prospective cohort study derived from the U.S. NHANES from 1999 to 2018. Baseline dietary information was assessed utilizing two 24-h dietary recalls. The death status was followed up to December 31, 2019. Hazard ratio (HR) was calculated by Cox regression and competing risk model. The effects of isocaloric replacement saturated fatty acids (SFAs) with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were estimated using the leave-one-out
