Model 1 adjusted for matching factors; model 2 adjusted as for model 1 with additional adjustment for BMI, smoking, alcohol, exercise, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation analyzed by using conditional logistic regression. PHS I, Physicians’ Health Study I; Q, quintile; ref, reference; TFA, trans fatty acid.

2

Values are % of total fatty acids.

3

ORs per SD increase in TFAs (16:1 = 0.03% of total fatty acids, 18:1 = 0.55% of total fatty acids, 18:2 = 0.18% of total fatty acids).
