Mediation effects of saturated fatty acid (SFA) on the association between dietary cholesterol and serum levels of total cholesterol (TC; A), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C; B). Confounding factors were age, sex, BMI, physical activity, educational level, drinking, carbohydrate, and protein. Unstandardized coefficients were shown along with their estimated p values: “a” is the linear regression coefficient of the dietary cholesterol–SFA association; “b” is the linear regression coefficient of the SFA–serum levels of TC and LDL-C. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.001.
