Kuhnt, Katrin Baehr, Melanie Rohrer, Carsten Jahreis, Gerhard Trans fatty acid isomers and the trans-9/ trans-11 index in fat containing foods
In the past 20 years, substantial reductions in industrial trans fat have been achieved in many countries. In conclusion, nowadays, in the majority of countries for which data are available, average trans fat intake is lower than the recommended maximum intake of 1 En%, with intakes from animal sources being higher than from industrial sources. Time trend data from 20 countries showed substantial declines in industrial trans fat intake since 1995. In 16 out of 21 countries with data on dietary sources, intakes of trans fat from animal sources were higher than that from industrial sources. Seven countries had trans fat intakes higher than the World Health Organization recommendation of 1 En%. The most up to date estimates of total trans fat intake ranged from 0.3 to 4.2 percent of total energy intake (En%) across countries. Relevant data from 29 countries were identified.
Data from national dietary surveys and population studies published from 1995 onward were searched via Scopus and websites of national public health institutes. The aim of this study was to systematically review available data on intakes of trans fat and its dietary sources in general populations worldwide.
