Total and Subtypes of Dietary Fat Intake and Its Association with Components of the Metabolic Syndrome in a Mediterranean Population at High Cardiovascular Risk

Abstract: Background: The effect of dietary fat intake on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and in turn on cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear in individuals at high CVD risk. Objective: To assess the association between fat intake and MetS components in an adult Mediterranean population at high CVD risk. Design: Baseline assessment of nutritional adequacy in participants (n = 6560, men and women, 55–75 years old, with overweight/obesity and MetS) in the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED)-Plus randomized … Show more

“…Substantial evidence indicates that local food environments might affect health outcomes [27,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. It is therefore possible to speculate that length of a food supply chain might affect cardiovascular risk.…”

“…In studies like the current, fat intake was unaltered through time for all weight loss groups [ 30 ] and was similar regardless of the time they have maintained weight loss [ 32 ]. Julibert et al [ 33 ] described in the current population that highest intakes of PUFA and MUFA were related to highest intakes of nuts and olive oil. Therefore, the highest increases in PUFA and MUFA intakes observed in the group reducing their BMI category before enrolment could be mediated by similar changes registered in nut consumption [ 34 ].…”

“…One of the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease and its resulting mortality rate is metabolic syndrome [ 5 , 6 ]. The individuals suffering metabolic syndrome are 3–5 times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and die as a result, compared to non-affected individuals [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Metabolic syndrome was initially referred to as hypertension, diabetes, and gout according to Reaven study in 1988; Gans study in 2006 also reported insulin resistance as the central characteristic of this disorder and called it the X syndrome [ 9 , 10 ]. Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients at any level of LDL [ 6 9 ].…”
