Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular health and nutrition science.
  • Public health and dietary patterns.

Background:

  • Cardiovascular disease remains a significant health concern.
  • Dietary fat intake is a key modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular health.
  • Understanding regional and demographic variations in dietary fat is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze dietary fat intake among a representative sample of Manitobans.
  • To identify variations in fat consumption based on age, gender, and geographic location.
  • To inform public health strategies for cardiovascular risk reduction.

Main Methods:

  • A nutrition survey was conducted as part of the Manitoba Heart Health Project.
  • Data from 2,115 participants who completed food frequency and risk factor questionnaires were analyzed.

  • Results were stratified by gender and three age groups.

    • Main Results:

    • The proportion of food energy from total fat ranged from 35.3% (senior females) to 40.2% (young males).
    • Men consistently consumed higher proportions of dietary fat than women across all age groups.
    • Individuals in rural areas and regional centers had higher fat intake than those in Winnipeg.
    • Butter, margarine, and spreads were significant sources of dietary fat.

    Conclusions:

    • Dietary fat intake in Manitoba varies significantly by age, gender, and location.
    • Targeted public health initiatives may be needed to address high fat consumption, particularly in specific demographic groups.
    • Reducing fat intake, especially from sources like butter and margarine, could contribute to cardiovascular health improvement.
