Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Data were obtained from questionnaires on health and food intake from a population-based longitudinal cohort linked to pharmacy-dispensing records. Subjects: The analysis included 3829 men and women (aged 31-71 years) who were examined during 1998-2002 and re-examined at 5-year follow-up during 2003-2007. Results: Recommended doses of margarines were consumed by only 9 % of the subjects. Serum total cholesterol decreased by respectively 20?16 (95 % CI 20?26, 20?05) mmol/l, 21?40 (95 % CI 21?51, 21?30) mmol/l and 21?64 (95 % CI 21?91, 21
