Ratio of dietary polyunsaturated to saturated fat and mortality due to coronary heart disease in Poland (relative to rates in 1990), superimposed on the relation between the fat ratio and coronary risk observed in the nurses' health study. Changes in dietary polyunsaturated to saturated fat in Poland between 1990 and 1999 are predicted to result in a 24% drop in coronary mortality, which is similar to the observed decline
