Dietary Fiber and Saturated Fat Intake Associations with Cardiovascular Disease Differ by Sex in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Cohort: A Prospective Study
Figure 2
Joint effects of saturated fat and fiber intake on iCVD risk, women.
Joint effects of quintiles of energy-adjusted saturated fat and fiber intake on risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease in women of the MDC cohort, expressed as hazard ratios. The numbers given in the figure are those significantly different (p<0.05) from the reference category (F5/SFA1). p value for the interaction between fiber and saturated fat = 0.003. Adjusted for age, method version, total energy intake (continuous), season, BMI class, smoking category, education, alcohol category, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive treatment, antilipemic treatment and leisure time physical activity (quartiles). RR:s calculated with no individual nutrient variables in the model due to redundancy.
