Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Dietary improvement has been paid much attention in reducing the risk of CVD, among which reduction in dietary saturated fatty acids (SFA) was supposed to be one of the important modifiable factors. However, evidence on the association of dietary and serum SFA with CVD remains controversial, which limited their recommendation. Meanwhile, dynamic measure of dietary SFA and their biomarkers of serum SFA might be more predictive of CVD risk than is a static measure of them. Further scientific evidence is needed to address the association of dietary saturated fatty acids, serum saturated fatty acids and their trajectories with CVD.
The goal of this Research Topic is to provide an article collection that promotes scientific knowledge and insights on providing the most appropriate dietary SFA recommendation in reducing the risk of CVD.
Sub-themes for this Research Topic may include, but are not limited to:
• Randomized clinical trials, observational studies, meta-analyses with both dietary and serum SFAs
• Development of investigation on the association between dietary SFAs and serum SFAs;
• Characterization of dietary SFAs and serum SFAs trajectories over time;
• Interaction of dietary SFAs, serum SFAs, and their trajectories on cardiovascular disease;
• Statistical methods on analyzing the complicated integration between dietary SFAs and serum SFAs.
