MUFA has, however, been associated with higher HDL cholesterol concentrations, 15,30 ⇓ reflected in lower total: HDL cholesterol and LDL: HDL cholesterol ratios, as potentially important predictors of cardiovascular risk.21 Higher
SFA intakes in exchange for carbohydrate in the DELTA (Dietary Effects on Lipoproteins and Thrombogenic Activity) study were associated with a lower Lp (a) level, 31 an effect associated in the present study with higher MUFA intakes.
From the study you have mentioned, although they found a lower risk of IHD with a higher intake of SFA, they do state that these results may have been due to «small
SFA intake range (IQR: 13.2 — 16.6 % of energy) at a high mean intake level (15.0 % of energy)».
Conversely, decreased
SFA intake improves measures of both CVD and T2D risk.»
