Abstract in brief

  • The study found that higher plasma N6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), with those in the highest N6 PUFA group experiencing about 48% reduced risk.
  • Approximately 20.7% of CVD events could potentially be prevented if plasma N6 PUFA levels were increased above the median, suggesting a protective effect.
  • Measuring total N6 PUFA levels improved the ability to predict incident CVD, indicating their potential use in future risk assessments, but further research on diet and lifestyle factors is needed.]
