Serum fatty acids, lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein composition of rural, suburban and urban populations in North Vietnam

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the concentrations of serum fatty acids, lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein of three populations in North Vietnam: rural area with low income (n = 101), suburban with average income (n = 97), and urban with high income (n = 95). The results showed the suburban and urban populations had higher fat intake than the rural. The fat intake in quality was different in these three populations. The suburban had the highest consumption of fatty foods rich in n‐6 polyunsaturated fat… Show more

“…Maybe they are related with the custom of fish intake. Jing is an oceanic ethnic minority like Kinh populations in North Vietnam, survival relying on fishing18. Maybe there are differences in saturated fatty acid (SFA), polyunsaturated tatty acid (PUFA; n-3 PUFA and n-6 PUFA), and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)19 intake to compare with the local Han population in their diet structure.…”

“…The distribution of dietary n‐6 to n‐3 ratios showed that 80% of the urban, 90% of the suburban and nearly 100% of the rural population had ratios in the range of 5–10 : 1 (calculated from raw data). Referring to the data on North Vietnamese people, 2 we found the P/S ratios to be equal in South and North Vietnam, while the average n‐6/n‐3 ratios were lower in the South than in the North. Because this study was performed in middle‐aged people while the subjects of the study conducted in North Vietnam were adults over 18 years, there is a possibility that the habitual consumption of foods rich in n‐3 PUFA is lower in young than in older subjects.…”

“…In Vietnam, although energy intake from fat is below 15%, increasing fat consumption is a trend reported recently in urban areas 1 . In our previous study, the fat intake of Northern Vietnamese people was observed to be significantly higher in urban than in rural areas, 2 but risk factors for premature CVD assessed by serum lipid, lipoprotein (a) and apolipoprotein (Apo) profiles were not found in all of these populations 2,3 . However, because fat consumption patterns are quite different in North and South Vietnam, the purpose of this study is to collect basic data allowing appropriate improvement of dietary fat quality and quantity for the whole country.…”

“…In addition, environmental factors such as lifestyles and dietary habits are also closely correlated to serum lipid profiles [ 30 , 43 ]. Jing is a coastal ethnic minority, which makes a living out of fishing [ 44 ] and fish is one of the most popular dishes they eat. Fishes are rich in long-chain n-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn-3PUFA), which is beneficial to serum lipid profiles.…”
