Abstract
- <bold>Background: </bold>Earlier evidence on the association between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and risk of diabetes has been conflicting.<bold>Purpose: </bold>To quantitatively summarize previous studies on the association between dietary LA intake, its biomarkers, and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the general population.<bold>Data Sources: </bold>Our data sources included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science until 24 October 2020; reference lists of all related articles; and key journals.<bold>Study Selection: </bold>We included prospective cohort studies that examined the associations of linoleic acid (LA) with the risk of T2DM in adults.<bold>Data Synthesis: </bold>The inverse variance method was applied to calculate summary relative risk (RR) of LA intake and its biomarkers, and dose-response associations were modeled using restricted cubic splines. Twenty-three publications, covering a total of 31 prospective cohorts, were included; these studies included 297,685 participants (22,639 incident diabetes cases) with dietary intake assessment and 84,171 participants (18,458 incident diabetes cases) with biomarker measurements. High intake of LA was associated with a 6% lower risk of T2DM (summary relative risk [RR] 0.94, 95% CI 0.90, 0.99; I2 = 48.5%). In the dose-response analysis, each 5% increment in energy from LA intake was associated with a 10% lower risk of T2DM. There was also evidence of a linear association between LA intake and diabetes, with the lowest risk at highest intakes. The summary RR for diabetes per SD increment in LA concentrations in adipose tissue/blood compartments was 0.85 (95% CI 0.80, 0.90; I2 = 66.2%). The certainty of the evidence was assessed as moderate.<bold>Limitations: </bold>A limitation of our work was the observational design of studies included in the analyses.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>We found that a high intake of dietary LA and elevated concentrations of LA in the body were both significantly associated with a lower risk of T2DM. These findings support dietary recommendations to consume dietary LA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
