Intake of macronutrients and their relationship with total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The Coronary Risk Factor Study, 1979.
In a dietary study on a subsample (1,113 males and females, 15-64 years of age) of the Coronary Risk Factor Study (CORIS) population, dietitians used the 24-hour recall method by interview to quantify nutrient intake and energy distribution and to investigate the relationship between dietary variables and blood lipid values. Mean total fat intakes varied from 35% to 37% of daily energy intake for different age groups. Dietary polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratios varied from 0.48 to 0.59. Cholesterol intakes ranged from 243 mg/d to 500 mg/d and when expressed per 4.2 MJ (1,000 kcal) were similar for males and females. The results of this intrapopulation cross-sectional study showed no significant relationship between dietary variables and total serum cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, the low percentage of respondents who met the prudent dietary guidelines add dietary risk factors to the already high prevalence of other major risk factors in this population.
