    Abstract: Background: Biomarker levels of very long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLCSFAs) have been found to be favorably associated with cardiovascular risk factors including lower risk of diabetes and reduced triglycerides. Few studies have examined the association between VLCSFAs and coronary heart disease (CHD). Aims: To assess the association of circulating arachidic acid (20:0), behenic acid (22:0), and lignoceric acid (24:0) with incident total, fatal, and nonfatal CHD. Methods: We used data from the Fatty Acids and Outcomes Research Consortium consisting of 15 prospective cohorts worldwide which included adults (age≥18 years) who were free of cardiovascular disease and had blood measurements of 20:0, 22:0, and 24:0 at baseline. A study protocol with standardized definitions of exposures, disease outcomes, and covariates was developed, for which each cohort conducted individual participant-level analysis. Cohort-specific associations were pooled using inverse variance-weighted meta-analysis to calculate the overall relative risk (RR) per interquintile range (difference between the 90 th and 10 th percentiles) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Among 33,083 participants, 6,165 cases of total CHD were ascertained. The overall pooled RR and 95% CI were 0.96 (0.89, 1.02) for 20:0, 1.01 (0.92, 1.11) for 22:0, 0.94 (0.86, 1.02) for 24:0, and 0.96 (0.89, 1.04) for 20:0 + 22:0 + 24:0 ( Figure 1 ). However, we noted heterogeneity by lipid compartments, with significant inverse associations for higher 22:0 [0.77 (0.62, 0.96)], 24:0 [0.61 (0.49, 0.77)] , and 20:0 + 22:0 + 24:0 [0.73 (0.60, 0.89)] in the total plasma/serum compartment but not in the phospholipid compartment. Similar associations were observed for fatal and nonfatal CHD and when using a random-effects model. Conclusion: Higher circulating VLCSFAs were not associated with total CHD in a global consortium of prospective studies. The finding of an inverse association with total CHD for VLCSFAs in the total plasma/serum compartment warrants further research.

    Abstract: To assess the prospective associations of circulating levels of omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) biomarkers (including plant derived α linolenic acid and seafood derived eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid) with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). Design Pooled analysis. Data sources A consortium of 19 studies from 12 countries identified up to May 2020. Study selection Prospective studies with measured n-3 PUFA biomarker data and incident CKD based on estimated glomerular filtration rate. Data extraction and synthesis Each participating cohort conducted de novo analysis with prespecified and consistent exposures, outcomes, covariates, and models. The results were pooled across cohorts using inverse variance weighted meta-analysis. Main outcome measures Primary outcome of incident CKD was defined as new onset estimated glomerular filtration rate 〈 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . In a sensitivity analysis, incident CKD was defined as new onset estimated glomerular filtration rate 〈 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 and 〈 75% of baseline rate. Results 25 570 participants were included in the primary outcome analysis and 4944 (19.3%) developed incident CKD during follow-up (weighted median 11.3 years). In multivariable adjusted models, higher levels of total seafood n-3 PUFAs were associated with a lower incident CKD risk (relative risk per interquintile range 0.92, 95% confidence interval 0.86 to 0.98; P=0.009, I 2 =9.9%). In categorical analyses, participants with total seafood n-3 PUFA level in the highest fifth had 13% lower risk of incident CKD compared with those in the lowest fifth (0.87, 0.80 to 0.96; P=0.005, I 2 =0.0%). Plant derived α linolenic acid levels were not associated with incident CKD (1.00, 0.94 to 1.06; P=0.94, I 2 =5.8%). Similar results were obtained in the sensitivity analysis. The association appeared consistent across subgroups by age (≥60 v 〈 60 years), estimated glomerular filtration rate (60-89 v ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease at baseline. Conclusions Higher seafood derived n-3 PUFA levels were associated with lower risk of incident CKD, although this association was not found for plant derived n-3 PUFAs. These results support a favourable role for seafood derived n-3 PUFAs in preventing CKD.

    Abstract: Background: Evidence for the role of omega-3 fatty acids in the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) remain inconsistent, with some recent RCTs even suggesting possible harm. Whether long-term dietary intake of these fatty acids, as assessed using objective biomarkers, is related to AF is not known. Aims: To prospectively evaluate circulating and tissue levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and the sum of EPA and DHA (also known as the omega-3 index), with respect to incident AF. Methods: We used data from a global consortium of 13 prospective cohort studies with measurements of EPA, DPA, or DHA in adults (age≥18) identified through March 2021. Participating studies conducted de novo participant-level analyses using a prespecified analytical plan with harmonized definitions for exposures, outcomes, covariates, and subgroups. Associations were pooled using inverse-variance weighted meta-analysis. Results: Among 45,910 participants, a total of 6,229 incident cases of AF were ascertained, with median follow-up ranging from 0.9 to 29.1 years. In the multivariable analysis, per interquintile range (difference between the 90 th and 10 th percentiles for each fatty acid), DPA, DHA, and EPA+DHA ( Figure 1 ) were associated with 11%, 13%, and 9% lower incidence of AF, respectively ( P 〈 0.01 for each). EPA levels were not associated with incident AF. Heterogeneity as measured using I 2 ranged from 0% for DPA to 56.7% for EPA+DHA. Associations were broadly consistent irrespective of baseline cardiovascular risk, global region, age, sex, or lipid fraction. Conclusion: Biomarkers of omega-3 fatty acids including DPA, DHA, and EPA+DHA demonstrated an inverse association with incident AF. In the absence of RCTs examining long-term dietary omega-3 intake and AF risk, our results do not suggest that higher levels of these fatty acids are associated with harm.
