Linear associations also existed for ALA and arachidonic acid intake, significantly so in women.

should read as follows:

Linear associations also existed for linoleic and arachidonic acid intake, significantly so in women.

and

In multinomial models, women in the highest tertile of ALA and stearic acid intake showed increased OR (95 % CI) for small weight gain (1·16 (0·94, 1·88) and 1·24 (1·08, 1·43), respectively), and large weight gain (1·39 (1·03, 1·88) and 1·56 (1·27, 1·90), respectively), whereas ORs were nonsignificantly increased in men.
