Metabolomics Biomarkers for Fatty Acid Intake and Biomarker-Calibrated Fatty Acid Associations with Chronic Disease Risk in Postmenopausal Women 1 .

Higher SFA and PFA diets were associated with null or somewhat higher risk for clinical outcomes considered in this population of postmenopausal U.S. women. Further research is needed to develop even stronger biomarkers for these fatty acid densities and their major components. This study is registered with clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT00000611.
