This report examines the relationship of dietary fat and dietary @entity165 to mortality during a 10-year surveillance of a cohort of @entity1 of Japanese descent residing in Hawaii. The consumption of dietary fat (measured in grams) is related inversely and significantly to total mortality. No significant relationships exist between grams of dietary fat and any of the specific causes of @entity204 examined. No significant relationships are found between dietary @entity1718 ( @entity10194 , measured in grams) or dietary @entity165 (measured in milligrams) and any of the specific causes of @entity204 examined. In contrast, percentage of calories as fat is related inversely not only to total mortality, but to @entity5 mortality and to @entity64 mortality; and it is related directly to @entity301 ( @entity301 ) mortality. Percentage of calories as SFA is related inversely to @entity5 mortality and to @entity64 mortality, and it is related directly to @entity301 mortality. Only the relationship to @entity64 mortality remains significant in multivariate analysis if calories from @entity167 are excluded from the computation. Dietary @entity165 per 1000 calories is related directly to @entity301 mortality. While these data provide support for the diet-heart hypothesis, they also suggest that @entity1 with low fat intakes have a higher total mortality rate than @entity1 with higher fat intakes. This increased risk, due to an excess risk of @entity204 from @entity64 and @entity5 , indicates that there is no overall beneficial effect from a low fat diet in this cohort.
