This paper summarizes three presentations on the global and Latin American perspectives on the health significance of fat quality in the diet given at the 16th Congress of the Society of Latin American Nutrition in Havana, Cuba, November 11-16, 2012. Dietary fat quality contributes to the risk of the leading chronic diseases and is more important than fat quantity in reducing the risk of chronic disease mortality, especially from cardiovascular disease (CVD). In many countries, the consumption of saturated fats exceeds the recommended limit of 10% energy (%E) and intakes of polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) are often below the recommended range of 6-11%E. Consumption of long-chain ω-3 PUFAs is especially low. In many Latin American countries, high consumption of carbohydrates, especially sugars, contributes to obesity, diabetes, hypertension and CVD, while intakes of total fat and PUFAs may be low. Thus, dietary fat recommendations must consider the dietary fat patterns of each country. Nutrition counseling can be effective in teaching individuals and families to modify their food intake patterns and control the major risk factors for chronic disease.
本文总结了在 2012 年 11 月 11 日至 16 日于古巴哈瓦那举行的第 16 届拉丁美洲营养学会大会上，就饮食中脂肪质量对全球和拉丁美洲健康意义的三个报告。饮食中的脂肪质量会增加罹患主要慢性疾病的风险，并且在降低慢性病死亡率风险方面，比脂肪摄入量更为重要，尤其是心血管疾病（CVD）。在许多国家，饱和脂肪的摄入量超过了 10%能量（%E）的推荐限量，而多不饱和脂肪（PUFAs）的摄入量通常低于 6-11%E 的推荐范围。长链 ω-3 PUFAs 的摄入量尤其低。在许多拉丁美洲国家，碳水化合物（尤其是糖）的高摄入量会导致肥胖、糖尿病、高血压和 CVD，而总脂肪和 PUFAs 的摄入量可能较低。因此，饮食脂肪建议必须考虑每个国家的饮食脂肪模式。营养咨询可以有效地教导个人和家庭改变他们的饮食摄入模式，并控制慢性病的主要风险因素。
