Abstract:
In a natural, "free-living population" of 650 men, surveyed with the purpose of health assessment within an epidemiological design, a strongly significant negative correlation between the relative linoleic acid composition of adipose tissue and blood pressures was found (P less than 0.001). This correlation remained significant when age and weight were statistically controlled for. Thus, dietary, lipid-lowering linoleic acid seems to effect blood pressures as well in a favorable way.
