Food sources of plant sterols in the EPIC Norfolk population

Objective: To investigate the intake of plant sterols and identify major dietary sources of plant sterols in the British diet. Subjects: A total of 24 798 men and women recruited during 1993-1997, participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC-Norfolk). Interventions: A da...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective: To investigate the intake of plant sterols and identify major dietary sources of plant sterols in the British diet. Subjects: A total of 24 798 men and women recruited during 1993-1997, participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC-Norfolk). Interventions: A database of the plant sterol (campesterol, -sitosterol, stigmasterol, campestanol and -sitostanol) content in foods, based on gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) analyses, was linked to nutritional intake data from food frequency questionnaires in the EPIC-Norfolk population. Results: The mean (s.d.) intake of total plant sterols was 300 (108) mg/d for men and 293 (100) mg/d for women. Bread and other cereals, vegetables and added fats were the three major food sources of plant sterols representing 18.6 (8.9), 18.4 (8.5) and 17.3 (10.4)% of the total plant sterol intake respectively. Women had a higher plant sterol density than men (36.4 vs 32.8 mg/1000 kJ, P
