Association between saturated fat intake and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol across the genetic spectrum: Results from the Women’s Health Initiative

2026-07-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Guidelines recommend reducing saturated fat intake to lower LDL-C. However, the response to saturated fat in the diet is highly heterogeneous. Genetic factors may contribute to individual differences in response to saturated fat. <h4>Objectives</h4> We aimed to exam...
