Fig. 1: Associations of fatty acids with incident MVDs stratified by WHR.
From: Associations of abdominal obesity and plasma fatty acids with microvascular diseases
Stratification was based on waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), with abdominal obesity defined as WHR > 0.85 for women and WHR > 0.90 for men. The study included 46,554 participants without abdominal obesity and 42,017 participants with abdominal obesity. Panels display hazard ratios (HRs) for MVDs across quartiles of a SFAs, b MUFAs, c total PUFAs, d n-3 PUFAs, and e n-6 PUFAs. Points indicate HRs derived from Cox proportional hazards models, and error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. The regression analysis was adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation index, education level, dietary score, alcohol, smoking status, physical activity, eGFR, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.
