Macronutrient Intake and Change in Mammographic Density at Menopause: Results from a Randomized Trial

Macronutrient Intake and Change in Mammographic Density at Menopause: Results from a Randomized Trial

Reduction in total or saturated fat intake or cholesterol intake was significantly associated with decreased dense area (p ≤ .004). The most significant dietary variable associated with reduction in percentage of density was reduction in dietary cholesterol intake (P = 0.001), although reducing saturated fat intake was of borderline significance (P = 0.05).
