The relations between the fatty acids of cholesterol esters and some cardiovascular risk factors have been investigated in a sample of 3,348 middle-aged men examined at entry into the Paris Prospective Study 2. The partial associations between the risk factors and the various fatty acids have been evaluated using a special regression method that takes into account the structural dependencies among the percentages of fatty acids. The results show that palmitoleic acid is strongly associated with alcohol consumption and blood pressure and that its association with blood pressure is absent in nondrinkers. High density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 are negatively associated with palmitic and dihomogammalinolenic acids and positively associated with oleic and linoleic acids. An inverse relation of low density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B to these fatty acids is also observed. Simultaneous high levels of palmitic and dihomogammalinolenic acids and low levels of oleic and linoleic acids could then be related to profiles of lipids and apolipoproteins exposing one to a high risk of coronary heart disease. These associations may be of interest in interpreting the relations observed in other studies between the fatty acid composition of cholesterol esters or other lipids and coronary heart disease.
