Fish Intake and Risk of Incident Heart Failure

Abstract

Among older adults, consumption of tuna or other broiled or baked fish, but not fried fish, is associated with lower incidence of CHF. Confirmation in additional studies and evaluation of potential mechanisms is warranted.

Development and Validation of an Australian Database for Estimating the Seafood Content of Canned Products

“…Given the known health benefits of fish consumption [1,2,20,26] it is of great importance that efforts such as this are made in order to accurately measure fish intake in dietary trials. Future research should aim to expand on these findings, to the development of a comprehensive canned fish and seafood database which can be used in a wide variety of future trials.…”

“…This study is the first known attempt to develop a database of the percentage fish present in canned products. Previous ob- servational studies which have approximated fish consumption through the use of dietary records and questionnaires often do not adjust for the presence of additional ingredients in fish and seafood products, instead calculating fish consumption as being equal to reported fish intake [2,3,[20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Habitual fish consumption has been associated with a range of health benefits, including decreased incidence of stroke and heart failure and decreased mortality from cardiovascular disease [1][2][3][4][5]. There is evidence that canned fish and seafood products such as canned tuna are increasing in popularity as a convenient source of fish in Australia.…”

Nutritional and Fatty Acids Profile Analyses of Commonly Consumed Fresh Water Fish Species in Pakistan

“…ALA, which is believed to have healthy effects on prevention of cardiovascular disorder (Kinsella, 1998;Mozaffarian et al, 2005;Goodnight et al, 1982) chiefly presented in C. marulius (2.08%) and A. anguilla (1.77%). Conditional essential fatty acids arachidonic acid (C20:4) with its known positive effects on muscle growth, brain development and Alzheimer disease (Sanchez-Mejia and Mucke, 2010) mainly observed in W. atto (0.48%) and L. Rohita (0.4%).…”

“…The reason behind the prime importance and significance given to LC-PUFAs is that it is useful to prevent the cardiac disorders (Connor, 2000;Simopoulos, 2002;Kinsella, 1998;Mozaffarian et al, 2005), disorders of brain growth and retina functioning (Crawford, 1993) and also lower the chances of multiple inflammation, psoriasis and scelerosis (Kinsella, 1998;Goodnight et al, 1982).…”
