1. a relative risk (rr) of 1 means the risk of heart disease is compared to an equivalent intake of carbohydrates.
2. an rr greater than 1 means the risk of heart disease is compared to an equivalent intake of carbohydrates.
3. an rr less than 1 means the risk of heart disease is compared to an equivalent intake of carbohydrates.
4. the rr for is 0.81, suggesting that increasing intake of this type of fat by 5% decreases the risk of heart disease.
5. the rr for is the lowest among the fats tested, suggesting that these fats are most beneficial for cardiovascular health.
6. the rr for is 1.17. for each 5% increase in energy consumed in this form of fat, there is a 17% increase in heart disease risk.
7. the rr of is the highest among the types of fats tested, suggesting that these fats pose the greatest health risk.
8. for each increase of 2% in energy from trans fats, there is a % increased risk of heart disease.
