Comparison of the effects of the dose of saturated fat on crude incidence/mortality rates (per 100 000 person-years) of ischemic stroke in the studies used in this meta-analysis, expressed as the weight of saturated fat intake per day (A) and the percent of total energy intake (en %) of saturated fat (B). JPHC: Japan Public Health-based Cohort Study7), LSS: Hiroshima and Nagasaki/Life Span Study5), JACC: Japan Collaborative Cohort Study6), NHS: Nurses' Health Study15), HPFS: Health Professional Follow Up Study21), WHI-OS: Women's Health Initiative Observational Study22), SMC: Swedish Mammography Cohort24), MDC: Malmo Diet and Cancer Cohort23). The JACC was a mortality study. The MDC had two studies; men (MDC-M) and women (MDC-W). The Shibata study was not included because the actual incidence of ischemic stroke was not reported3). The Framingham Heart Study was not included because the absolute amount of saturated fat intake was not reported17). Note that the crude incidence/mortality rates were not adjusted by age and confounders; therefore, these rates should not be compared between studies.
