Usually reported as ...

Hello

In human population studies, rates of heart disease and certain cancers strongly associate
with animal-protein-based diets, usually reported as total fat consumption.

I'm not sure I understand. What is "usually reported as total fat consumption"?

I believe that's an interview, so we have to forgive him for the lack of clarity. He means that if you look at the studies, you will not see a figure for the amount of animal protein in a diet, but you will see a figure for total fat consumption. Animal products typically contain a lot more fat than plant products, so we can use the fat figure as an indicator of the protein intake.
