a

Mean national consumption levels among adults, (95%UI) based on intakes in each country‐, age‐, and sex‐specific stratum weighted by the number of adults in that stratum in 2010.

b

Burdens due to higher SFA (>10%E), based on benefits if isocalorically replaced with n‐6 PUFA (up to 12%E).

c

Burdens due to insufficient n‐6 PUFA (<12%E), based on benefits if isocalorically replacing either SFA (down to 10%E) or carbohydrates.

d

Burdens due to higher TFA (>0.5%E), based on benefits if isocalorically replaced with other dietary fats.
