Q: The study aims to compare RBC fatty acid levels with common risk factors for cardiovascular disease in predicting the risk of all-cause mortality.
D: This study was carried out within the framework of the Framingham Offspring Cohort. The participants of their eighth cycle participated in the study. However, those participants who lacked RBC FA measurement, appropriate clinical findings, or no pervasive cardiovascular disease did not participate in the study since there was an exclusion category. Thus, from 3,021 participants in the eighth cycle, there were 781 who were excluded, leaving 2240 eligible in light of the current study. The remaining participants were evaluated over 11 years. The association of 8 common risk factors and 28 FA metrics with all-cause mortality was systematically evaluated using a forward, stepwise approach. Th...
