Dietary saturated fat intake and risk of stroke: Systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

ConclusionThis meta-analysis further demonstrated that a higher consumption of dietary SFA is associated with a lower risk of stroke, and every 10 g/day increase in SFA intake is associated with a 6% relative risk reduction in the rate of stroke. Further research is needed to explore the influence of specific SFA types and different macronutrient replacement models of SFA on the stroke risk.
