10 What is the current evidence on fatty acids and cardiovascular disease? Fatty Acids Cardiovascular disease Our systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature aimed to quantify 3 aspects of the evidence: self-reported dietary fatty acid intake individual fatty acid biomarkers randomized controlled trials

11 Self-reported dietary fatty acid intake and coronary outcomes Studies, n Participants, n Events, n Risk Ratio (95% CI) Dietary fatty acids intake Total saturated fatty acids ( ) Total monounsaturated fatty acids ( ) ω-3 fatty. acids α-linolenic ( ) Total long-chain ω ( ) Total ω-6 fatty acids ( ) Total trans fatty acids ( ) RR (95% CI) Comparing Top vs. Bottom Thirds of Baseline Dietary Fatty Acid Intake Chowdhury R et al, Ann Intern Med 2014

12 Self-reported dietary fatty acid intake and stroke Siri-Tarino et al, Am J Clin Nutr 2010

13 Fatty acid biomarkers and coronary outcomes Circulating fatty acids composition Studies, n Participants, n Events, n Risk Ratio (95% CI) Total saturated fatty acids 14:0, Myristic 15:0, Pentadecanoic ( ) 0.96 ( ) 0.94 ( ) 16:0, Palmitic 17:0, Heptadecanoic or margaric 15:0, Pentadecanoic + 17:0, Margaric ( ) 0.77 ( ) 0.81 ( ) 18:0, Stearic ( ) Total trans fatty acids ( ) 18:1, trans-oleic ( ) 18:2, trans-linoleic ( ) RR (95% CI) Comparing Top vs. Bottom Thirds Chowdhury R et al, Ann Intern Med 2014

15 How can we better understand the association between fatty acids and cardiovascular disease? Fatty Acids Cardiovascular disease Powerful prospective studies measuring comprehensive panel of individual fatty acids biomarkers, intermediate phenotypes and diet

16 Fatty acids and type 2 diabetes

17 EPIC-InterAct Nested case-cohort study within EPIC Europe Large 455,680 individuals at baseline Long follow-up 3.99 million person years 12,403 incident cases of T2D Stored blood Data on diet/physical activity Exposure heterogeneity Research groups in 8 countries Langenberg C et al, Diabetologia 2011

27 Issues in interpretation Within SFA group, individual SFAs exert different effects Consider Dietary fat intake vs. metabolism De novo lipogenesis Are there Direct effects of fatty acids or are the fatty acids markers of other constituents in foods?

28 Source of SFA matters Differential health effects depending on food source SFA-rich foods Other nutrients Other compounds Other diet factors Displacement effects Other lifestyles

30 EPIC-Heart & EPIC-CVD Nested case-cohort study within EPIC Europe 510,000 individuals at baseline ~16,500 incident cases of CHD ~10,500 incident cases of stroke Stored blood Data on diet Exposure heterogeneity Research groups in 10 countries; 28 centres

31 EPIC-CVD- work in progress Dietary saturated fat and incidence of CHD & stroke Substitution effects of replacing saturated fat with Polyunsaturated fatty acids Monounsaturated fatty acids Carbohydrates Protein Measurement of 38 blood fatty acids is now complete Embarking on analyses of association between circulating fatty acids and incidence of CHD & stroke

32 Future directions Saturated fatty acids & T2DM Is the association causal? Work in progress Genome wide Association study (GWAS) Causal inference using Mendelian Randomisation (MR) approach Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol, 2014

33 Conclusions Recommendations on fat intake have been the cornerstone of dietary guidance for decades It has emerged that quality/type of fat matters replacement nutrient matters Controversies remain New technologies are opening up possibilities for greater understanding EPIC-InterAct and EPIC-CVD projects are advancing this area of science on large scale Future direction: how best to combine information from self report and objective measurement Interdisciplinary research for better interpretation
