Key result
High total fat intake linked to ~890% greater PAD risk.
Why the study?
The Western diet contributes to epidemics of obesity and related diseases, but the association between peripheral arterial disease and dietary components in Japanese immigrants living in Brazil required examination.
Is dietary fat and fiber consumption associated with peripheral arterial disease in a Japanese-Brazilian population?
Cross-Sectional (n=1,267)
No
Is dietary fat and fiber consumption associated with peripheral arterial disease in a Japanese-Brazilian population?
Odds Ratio: 9.9 (95% CI 1.93–39.53)
Absolute Event Rate: 16.5% vs 18.5%
High total fat intake and low intake of fiber from fruit and oleic acid are independently associated with a higher prevalence of peripheral arterial disease.
May support dietary assessment in PAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.

Gimeno et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) (n=1,267). High total fat intake vs. Low total fat intake (lowest quintile) was evaluated on Presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) (OR 9.90, 95% CI 1.93-39.53). High total fat intake was significantly associated with an increased risk of peripheral arterial disease (adjusted OR 9.90) independently of other cardiovascular risk factors.
