This research aims to determine the relationship between fish consumption and the risk of death from coronary heart disease over 30 years.
Analyzed data from 1822 men aged 40 to 55 free of cardiovascular disease at baseline.
Stratified fish consumption into groups based on daily intake.
Employed Cox proportional-hazards regression to assess risks related to fish consumption.
Participants consuming 35 g or more of fish daily had a relative risk of 0.62 (95% CI, 0.40 to 0.94) for coronary heart disease mortality.
For sudden or nonsudden myocardial infarctions, the relative risk was 0.56 (95% CI, 0.33 to 0.93).
The most significant association was observed for nonsudden death from myocardial infarction, with a relative risk of 0.33 (95% CI, 0.12 to 0.91).

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Randomized trial shows reduced coronary heart disease death risk in men with higher fish intake, suggesting dietary benefits.

Daviglus et al. (1997) studied this question.
