Based on literature data, the hypothesis is advanced that in human subjects a direct mathematical relationship exists between the average fatty acid composition of the habitual diet and that of the lipid stores of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Since the half-life of adipose tissue fatty acids in man is in the order of 600 days, the fatty acid pattern of depot fat provides a qualitative measure of the fat intake over a period of 2 to 3 years. It is concluded that in long-term experimental and epidemiological nutritional surveys the adipose tissue fatty acid pattern of the subjects is a useful index of the average composition of their habitual dietary fat.
基于文献数据，提出如下假说：在人类受试者中，习惯饮食的平均脂肪酸组成与皮下脂肪组织脂质储存的平均脂肪酸组成之间存在直接的数学关系。由于人体脂肪组织脂肪酸的半衰期约为600天，储存脂肪的脂肪酸模式可定性衡量2至3年期间的脂肪摄入量。得出的结论是，在长期实验性和流行病学营养调查中，受试者的脂肪组织脂肪酸模式是其习惯饮食脂肪平均组成的有用指标。
