Past studies of the association of frans-fatty acid intake with coronary heart disease have been hindered by the lack of a database on the frans-fatty acid content of various foods. The authors used new data from the US Department of Agriculture to estimate frans-fatty acid intake using a self-administered food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and they assessed the validity of the FFQ by comparing the dietary estimates with frans-fatty acid concentrations in adipose tissue. The 1996 study included 27 women and 24 men aged 51–78 years. The mean consumption of total frans-fatty acids estimated from the FFQ was 2.24 g per day and 5% of total dietary fat. The mean concentration of total frans-fatty acids in buttock adipose tissue was 4.7% of total fatty acids. Pearson correlations between total dietary intake of frans-fatty acids and total frans-fatty acid levels in adipose tissue were 0.67 (95% confidence interval (Cl) 0.36–0.84) among men and 0.58 (95% Cl 0.26–0.79) among women. After adjustment for energy intake, age, and body mass index, the correlation coefficients were 0.76 (95% Cl 0.51–0.89) among men and 0.52 (95% Cl 0.17–0.75) among women. The FFQ validated in this study is an important new tool for assessing usual intake of frans-fatty acids. Am J Epidemiol 1998;148:1085-93.
