In 15 cohorts of the Seven Countries Study, comprising 11,579 men aged 40-59 years and "healthy" at entry, 2,288 died in 15 years, with all-cause and coronary heart disease death rates were low in cohorts with olive oil as the main fat.

The regional differences in linoleic acid in adipose tissue remained highly significant when the observed differences in other known risk factors for coronary heart disease among the four areas were taken into account by multivariate analysis.

78 Citations1989G Farchi, Sergio Mariotti +4 more
Impressive differences in death rates between groups are found especially at the 10- and 15-Y anniversaries, and the relative risk between the least and the most favored group in 15-y mortality from coronary heart disease is 4.7.

The present results suggest that plasma levels of estrogen play an essential role in the cyclic process of the regulation of ovulation by way of the selective facilitation of neuronal excitability in specific functional neural pathways.

33 Citations1987Paolo Rubba, Milena Mancini +6 more
Adipose tissue (AT) biopsies were performed in a random population sample of 74 clinically healthy middle-aged men from southern Italy and demonstrated that the overall intake of saturated fat was similar in the two extreme DBP quintiles.

13 Citations1991E. Cialfa, Aida Turrini +1 more
The problem of the availability of food consumption data relative to one or more populations is not a new one but because of the need in each country for a reliable data bank for intakes of nutrients and non-nutrients, the problem of precise knowledge of food intakes becomes actual and pressing.

The results of partial correlation analysis showed that apo B, the apolipoprotein constituent of LDL, was related to vitamin E independently of serum triglycerides, a fairly accurate marker of VLDL.
