Article Synopsis
- - Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects cholesterol metabolism, prompting researchers to study lipid abnormalities and cardiovascular event risks in affected patients from 2000 to 2009 compared to healthy controls.
- - The study involved 54 PBC patients and 106 controls, revealing significant differences in cholesterol levels, with higher instances of hypercholesterolemia and elevated LDL in PBC patients, while HDL levels were also elevated.
- - Despite the lipid abnormalities in PBC patients, the overall 10-year cardiovascular risk was similar between PBC patients and controls, with only one cardiovascular event (a stroke) reported during an average follow-up of about 58 months.
Most of the recent observational studies have failed to find an association between dairy intake and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and stroke, regardless of milk fat content. The purpose of this review is to examine the published research on the relationship between milk products containing milk fat and cardiovascular health. Despite their saturated fat content, there is no clear evidence of an association between dairy intake and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
