Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dietary lipids as well as endogenous lipids are deeply involved in metabolic regulation. It is increasingly understood that the normalization of lipid metabolism can prevent or improve obesity and various metabolic diseases. In understanding the functions of lipids, it is important to clarify their metabolic changes and interactions with biological molecules, and preliminarily, information obtained through comprehensive analysis by metabolomics and lipidomics can also contribute greatly to future research progress.

This Special Issue of Nutrients entitled “Lipids and Lifestyle Diseases” welcomes original research, including preliminary studies and reviews of the literature concerning this important topic.

Background/Objectives: Fats, although essential for the proper functioning of the body, have been linked to an increased risk of developing chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intake of total fat and its components (saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and trans fats) in men and women aged 15 to 65 years of the urban population in eight Latin American countries. Methods: Survey data were collected from the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health (ELANS, by its acronym in Spanish), an epidemiological study, including 9218 subjects from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Results: In general, 76.2% of the subjects consumed fat within normal ranges (20–35% of the total caloric value (TCV)). When analyzing its components, a majority of the subjects consumed saturated and polyunsaturated fats within the recommended ranges. However, 94.5% of the population does not comply with the recommended maximum intake of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) (10–20%), and only 57.5% comply with the intake recommendation for trans fatty acids (TRANS) (0–2%). Likewise, on average, women had a significantly higher intake of all types of fat compared to men. Finally, the average fat intake by age indicates that regardless of the age range, the consumption of all fats except MUFA and TRANS are within the recommended ranges, with MUFA being slightly below and TRANS above. Conclusions: Even though the fat intake of the population falls within the recommended range, it is necessary to improve the quality by favoring the consumption of MUFA-rich foods regionally accepted, such as avocados, and reducing the consumption of TRANS.
