Dietary intake of α-linolenic acid and risk of fatal ischemic heart disease among women

Frank B. Hu, +7 more
- 01 May 1999 - 
TL;DR: This study supports the hypothesis that a higher intake of α-linolenic acid is protective against fatal ischemic heart disease and higher consumption of foods such as oil-based salad dressing that provide polyunsaturated fats, including α-linsolenic Acid, may reduce the risk of fatal IHD.

Paul M. Ridker, +2 more
- 10 Nov 1993 - 
TL;DR: The data do not support the use of Lp(a) level as a screening tool to define cardiovascular risk among this population of predominantly middle-aged white men, and no evidence of association between Lp-a level and risk of future MI is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
