TY - T1 - Lowering Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentration with Plant Stanol Esters to Reduce the Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events at a Population Level : A Critical Discussion SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/321013 T3 - A1 - Gylling, Helena; Strandberg, Timo E.; Kovanen, Petri T.; Simonen, Piia A2 - PB - Y1 - 2020 LA - eng AB - Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs) cause every fifth death worldwide. However, it is possible to prevent the progression of ASCVDs by reducing circulating concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Recent large meta-analyses demonstrated that by reducing the dietary intake of saturated fat and cholesterol, it is possible to reduce the risk of ASCVD events. Plant stanols, as fatty-acid esters, were developed as a dietary adjunct to reduce LDL-C levels as part of ...
