Abstract P414: Biomarkers of Very Long-chain Saturated Fatty Acids and Incident Coronary Heart Disease: Prospective Evidence From 15 Cohorts in the Fatty Acids and Outcomes Research Consortium

Background: Biomarker levels of very long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLCSFAs) have been found to be favorably associated with cardiovascular risk factors including lower risk of diabetes and reduced triglycerides. Few studies have examined the association between VLCSFAs and coronary heart disease (CHD). Aims: To assess the association of circulating arachidic acid (20:0), behenic acid (22:0), and lignoceric acid (24:0) with incident total,...
