The role of specific unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) in the development of overweight/obesity remains unclear in the general population. Here, we aimed to explore the associations of different types of unsaturated FAs with overweight/obesity risk among the Chinese population.
Eight thousand seven hundred forty-two subjects free of overweight/obesity at entry in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) were followed up until 2015. Dietary unsaturated FAs were assessed by 3-day 24-h recalls with a weighing method in each wave. Cox regression models were used to obtain the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for overweight/obesity risk associated with unsaturated FAs.
During a median follow-up of 7 years, 2,753 subjects (1,350 males and 1,403 females) developed overweight/obesity. Consuming more monounsaturated FAs (MUFAs) was associated with a lower risk of overweight/obesity (highest vs. lowest quartile: HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.67-0.96; -trend = 0.010). Similar inverse associations were observed for plant-MUFAs (HR 0.83, 95% CI: 0.73-0.94; -trend = 0.003) and animal-MUFAs (HR 0.77, 95% CI: 0.64-0.94; -trend = 0.004), total dietary oleic acid (OA) (HR 0.66, 95% CI: 0.55-0.79; -trend <0.001), plant-OA (HR 0.73, 95% CI: 0.64-0.83; -trend <0.001) and animal-OA (HR 0.68, 95% CI: 0.55-0.84; -trend <0.001). In addition, the intakes of n-3 polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) (HR 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09-1.42; -trend = 0.017) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) (HR 1.22, 95% CI: 1.07-1.39; -trend = 0.039) but not marine n-3 PUFAs were positively linked to overweight/obesity risk. Consumption of n-6 PUFAs (HR 1.13, 95% CI: 0.99-1.28; -trend = 0.014) and linoleic acid (LA) (HR 1.11, 95% CI: 0.98-1.26; -trend = 0.020) had marginal and positive relationships with the incidence of overweight/obesity. N-6/n-3 PUFA ratio ranging from 5.7 to 12.6 was related to higher risk of overweight/obesity.
Higher dietary intake of MUFAs was associated with lower overweight/obesity risk, which was mainly driven by dietary OA from either plant or animal sources. Intakes of ALA, n-6 PUFAs and LA were related to higher risk of overweight/obesity. These results support consuming more MUFAs for maintaining a healthy body weight among the Chinese population.
在普通人群中,特定不饱和脂肪酸(FAs)在超重/肥胖发展过程中的作用仍不明确。在此,我们旨在探讨中国人群中不同类型不饱和脂肪酸与超重/肥胖风险之间的关联。
在中国健康与营养调查(CHNS)中,对8742名入组时无超重/肥胖的受试者进行随访至2015年。每一轮均采用称重法通过3天24小时回顾法评估膳食不饱和脂肪酸。使用Cox回归模型获得与不饱和脂肪酸相关的超重/肥胖风险的风险比(HRs)和95%置信区间(CIs)。
在中位随访7年期间,2753名受试者(1350名男性和1403名女性)出现超重/肥胖。摄入更多的单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFAs)与较低的超重/肥胖风险相关(最高四分位数与最低四分位数相比:HR 0.80,95%CI 0.67 - 0.96;-趋势 = 0.010)。对于植物来源的MUFAs(HR 0.83,95%CI:0.73 - 0.94;-趋势 = 0.003)和动物来源的MUFAs(HR 0.77,95%CI:0.64 - 0.94;-趋势 = 0.004)、膳食总油酸(OA)(HR 0.66,95%CI:0.55 - 0.79;-趋势 <0.001)、植物来源的OA(HR 0.73,95%CI:0.64 - 0.83;-趋势 <0.001)和动物来源的OA(HR 0.68,95%CI:0.55 - 0.84;-趋势 <0.001),观察到类似的负相关。此外,n - 3多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFAs)(HR 1.24,95%CI:1.09 - 1.42;-趋势 = 0.017)和α-亚麻酸(ALA)(HR 1.22,95%CI:1.07 - 1.39;-趋势 = 0.039)的摄入量,但不包括海洋来源的n - 3 PUFAs,与超重/肥胖风险呈正相关。摄入n - 6 PUFAs(HR 1.13,95%CI:0.99 - 1.28;-趋势 = 0.014)和亚油酸(LA)(HR 1.11,95%CI:0.98 - 1.26;-趋势 = 0.020)与超重/肥胖的发生率呈边缘正相关。n - 6/n - 3 PUFA比值在5.7至12.6之间与较高的超重/肥胖风险相关。
较高的膳食MUFAs摄入量与较低的超重/肥胖风险相关,这主要由植物或动物来源的膳食OA驱动。ALA、n - 6 PUFAs和LA的摄入量与较高的超重/肥胖风险相关。这些结果支持中国人群为维持健康体重应摄入更多MUFAs。
