Multivariable regression models in the general population as well as those with spirometry-defined airflow obstruction were used to assess the relationship between lung function measurements and dietary SFA intake after adjustment for confounders. 11,180 eligible participants were included in this study. Univariate analysis revealed a statistically significant positive association between total SFA intake and lung function outcomes; however, these relationships were attenuated after adjustment for covariates. A secondary analysis of individuals with spirometry-defined airflow obstruction (FEV₁/FVC < 0.7) revealed that a lower intake of SFA was associated with reduced FEV₁ (β = −126.4, p = 0.04 for quartile 1 vs. quartile 4), FVC (β = −165.8. p = 0.01 for quartile 1 vs. quartile 4), and percent predicted FVC (β = −3.3. p = 0.04 for quartile 1 vs. quartile 4), after adjustment for relevant confounders. No associations were observed for the FEV₁/FVC ratio and percent predicted FEV₁. It is possible that characteristics such as food source and fatty acid chain length may influence associations between saturated fatty acid intake and health outcomes.]]> Tue 24 Jan 2023 14:09:43 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25224 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:00 AEDT ]]>
