FIGURE 3.

Dose–response meta-analysis for associations between dietary LA intake and mortality from all causes in all studies (A) and excluding 2 studies in which participants had cancer at baseline (B), and between LA intake and mortality from CVD (C) and cancer (D), in prospective cohort studies. The pooled RR trend by LA intake dosage (solid line) and its 95% CIs (dashed lines) were obtained by a random-effects dose–response meta-analysis. Circles represent RRs according to LA categories from each study, inversely proportional to the variance of log RRs. CVD, cardiovascular disease; LA, linoleic acid.
