Distributions and regression-adjusted means of plasma trans-fatty acids (TFA) and other CVD risk factors in 1999–2000 and 2009–2010 among US children (aged 6–11 years) and adolescents (aged 12–19 years) who participated in the 1999–2000 and 2009–2010 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Each panel presents results pertaining to a different dependent variable: (a) total TFA* (n 1126); (b) elaidic acid (EA; n 1170); (c) vaccenic acid (VA; n 1173); (d) LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C; n 1828); (e) HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C; n 1836); (f) TAG (n 1837); (g) C-reactive protein (CRP; n 5152); (h) systolic blood pressure (SBP; n 4536); (i) diastolic blood pressure (DBP; n 4457). The left column shows the distributions of the raw data (Inline graphic, 1999–2000; Inline graphic, 2009–2010) and the right column shows the change in each dependent variable over time expressed as regression-adjusted means with 95 % confidence intervals represented by vertical bars. Fasting sampling weights were used in regressions involving the dependent variables total TFA, EA, VA, LDL-C, HDL-C and TAG. Examination sampling weights were used in regressions involving the dependent variables CRP, SBP and DBP. *Total TFA = sum of EA, VA, linoelaidic acid and palmitelaidic acid
