DLM-SF: Cardiovascular Disease Mortality (2021)

• Intervention
  In adults with or without cardiovascular disease, what is the association between amount of saturated fat intake and cardiovascular disease mortality?

  • Conclusion

    In adults with and without existing cardiovascular disease, moderate quality evidence found little or no effect of reducing saturated fat intake on cardiovascular disease mortality.

  • Grade: Moderate (B)
    • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
    • Grade II is Fair;
    • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
    • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
    • Grade V is Not Assignable.
    • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
    • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
    • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
    • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
    • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
  • Evidence Summary: In adults with or without cardiovascular disease,what is the association between amount of saturated fat intake and cardiovascular disease mortality?
