Morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are increasing. It is known that a healthy diet and physical exercise can modulate the risk of CVD. In this regard, the Mediterranean Diet (MD) is considered a model of healthy eating and olive oil is an essential component of this diet, as its primary fat source. The aims of this study were to assess the possible beneficial role of consuming olive pomace oil (OPO) as the main source of fat in the diet on serum lipid concentrations (primary outcome) and other biomarkers of cardiovascular health such as blood pressure, endothelial function and inflammation (secondary outcomes) in at-risk (hypercholesterolaemic) subjects. This study was a randomised, blind, crossover, controlled clinical trial in free-living subjects. Participants, men and women aged 18–55 years, were randomly assigned to one of the two groups; normocholesterolaemic or hypercholesterolaemic group. Results showed that consumption of OPO for four weeks resulted in an improved blood lipid profile, decreasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Apo B and low-density lipoprotein/ high-density lipoprotein ratio both in healthy and at-risk volunteers, in contrast to the opposite effect observed with high-oleic acid sunflower oil (HOSO), with no significant changes in other CVD risk factors. Furthermore, no changes were observed in relation to blood pressure, and biomarkers linked to inflammation and endothelial function. Authors conclude that OPO could have hypolipidemic actions in healthy consumers and in subjects with high blood cholesterol, contributing to cardiovascular disease prevention.
