Fish Consumption and risk of stroke in Swedish women
The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2010Co-Authors: Susanna C. Larsson, Jarmo Virtamo, Alicja WolkAbstract:Background: Epidemiologic studies of Fish Consumption in relation to risk of stroke have yielded inconsistent results. Objective: In this study, we examined the association between Fish Consumption and stroke incidence in women. Design: We analyzed data from a population-based prospective cohort of 34,670 women in the Swedish Mammography Cohort who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. Information on Fish Consumption was obtained by a self-administered questionnaire in 1997. Incident cases of stroke were ascertained from the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95% CIs. Results: Over a mean follow-up of 10.4 y, we ascertained 1680 incident cases of stroke, including 1310 cerebral infarctions, 233 hemorrhagic strokes, and 137 unspecified strokes. Fish Consumption was significantly inversely associated with risk of total stroke but not with cerebral infarction or hemorrhagic stroke. Compared with women in the lowest quintile of Fish Consumption (,1.0 serving of Fish/wk), the multivariable RR of total stroke for women in the highest quintile (.3.0 servings of Fish/wk) was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.71, 0.98; P for trend = 0.049). Consumption of lean Fish but not of other Fish types was inversely associated with risk of stroke. The multivariable RR of total stroke was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.49, 0.93; P for trend = 0.07) for 3 servings of lean Fish/wk compared with that for no Consumption. Conclusion: These results suggest that the Consumption of Fish, especially of lean Fish, may reduce risk of stroke in women. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01127698.

Long-term fatty Fish Consumption and renal cell carcinoma incidence in women.
JAMA, 2006Co-Authors: Alicja Wolk, Susanna C. Larsson, Jan-erik Johansson, Peter EkmanAbstract:ContextThe epidemiological evidence that fatty Fish Consumption may be associated with the lower risk of several cancers is not consistent and no studies of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) exist.ObjectiveTo examine the association between fatty and lean Fish Consumption and risk of RCC in women.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThe Swedish Mammography Cohort, a population-based prospective cohort study of 61 433 women aged 40 to 76 years without previous diagnosis of cancer at baseline (March 1, 1987-December 14, 1990). Participants filled in a food frequency questionnaire at baseline and in September 1997.Main Outcome MeasureIncident renal cell carcinoma.ResultsDuring a mean of 15.3 years (940 357 person-years) of follow-up between 1987 and 2004, 150 incident RCC cases were diagnosed. After adjustment for potential confounders, an inverse association of fatty Fish Consumption with the risk of RCC was found (P for trend = .02), but no association was found with lean Fish Consumption. Compared with no Consumption, the multivariate rate ratio (RR) was 0.56 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-0.91) for women eating fatty Fish once a week or more. Compared with women consistently reporting no Fish Consumption, the multivariate RR was 0.26 (95% CI, 0.10-0.67) for those women reporting consistent Consumption of fatty Fish at baseline and 1997 (based on a subset of 36 664 women who filled in the baseline and 1997 questionnaires, with 40 incident RCC cases during the 1998-2004 follow-up period).ConclusionOur study suggests that Consumption of fatty Fish may reduce the occurrence of RCC in women.

Fatty Fish Consumption and risk of prostate cancer
Lancet (London England), 2001Co-Authors: Paul Terry, Paul Lichtenstein, Maria Feychting, Anders Ahlbom, Alicja WolkAbstract:Consumption of fatty Fish might reduce the risk of prostate cancer, although epidemiological studies of Fish Consumption are rare. We studied the association between Fish Consumption and prostate cancer in a population-based prospective cohort of 6272 Swedish men. During 30 years of follow-up, men who ate no Fish had a two-fold to three-fold higher frequency of prostate cancer than those who ate moderate or high amounts did. Our results suggest that Fish Consumption could be associated with decreased risk of prostate cancer.

Fish Consumption and the risk of stroke a dose response meta analysis
Stroke, 2011Co-Authors: Susanna C. Larsson, Nicola OrsiniAbstract:Background and Purpose—Fish Consumption has been postulated to reduce the risk of stroke. We conducted a dose–response meta-analysis to summarize the evidence from prospective studies regarding the association between Fish Consumption and stroke risk. Methods—Pertinent studies were identified by searching Embase and PubMed through May 2011 and by reviewing the references of retrieved articles. We included prospective studies that reported relative risks with 95% CIs of stroke for ≥3 categories of Fish Consumption. Results were combined using a random-effects model. Results—Fifteen prospective studies, with 9360 stroke events among 383 838 participants, were included. An increment of 3 servings/week in Fish Consumption was associated with a 6% reduction in risk of total stroke (relative risk, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.89–0.99) without heterogeneity among studies (P=0.15, I2=25.7%). Among 9 studies with results for stroke subtypes, the relative risks were 0.90 (95% CI, 0.84–0.97) for ischemic stroke and 0.90 (95% CI,...

Fish Consumption and Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis
The American journal of medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Sylvie S.l. Leung Yinko, Ken D. Stark, George Thanassoulis, Louise PiloteAbstract:Abstract Background Findings on the association between Fish Consumption and acute coronary syndrome are inconsistent. We assessed the role of Fish Consumption in acute coronary syndrome by conducting a dose-response meta-analysis. Methods We conducted a literature search of MEDLINE and Embase databases from 1966 to June 2013 for prospective cohort and case-control studies that evaluated the association between Fish Consumption and acute coronary syndrome among general populations without cardiovascular disease history. Additional studies were identified via hand search of references of relevant articles. Estimates of relative risk (RR) were pooled using random-effects model. Sex and age effects were also evaluated. Results Our search retrieved 11 prospective cohort and 8 case-control studies, totaling 408,305 participants. Among prospective cohort studies, the highest category of Fish Consumption (ie, ≥4 times per week) was associated with the greatest risk reduction in acute coronary syndrome (RR 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-0.89). In dose-response analysis, each additional 100-g serving of Fish per week was associated with a 5% reduced risk (RR per serving 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92-0.97). Subgroup analysis and meta-regression suggested that the risk reduction did not differ across sex or age groups. No heterogeneity was observed among prospective cohort ( P = .73) and case-control ( P = .29) studies. There was no evidence of publication bias. Conclusion Our meta-analysis demonstrated that there is an inverse association between Fish Consumption and the risk of acute coronary syndrome. Fish Consumption appears beneficial in the primary prevention of acute coronary syndrome, and higher Consumption is associated with greater protection.

Abstract MP65: Fish Consumption and Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis
Circulation, 2014Co-Authors: Sylvie S.l. Leung Yinko, Ken D. Stark, George Thanassoulis, Louise PiloteAbstract:Background: While findings on omega-3 supplements in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are controversial, various studies suggest that Fish Consumption may be beneficial to cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between Fish Consumption and ACS by conducting a dose-response meta-analysis. Methods: We conducted a literature search of Medline and Embase databases from 1966 to June 2013 for prospective cohort and case-control studies that evaluated the association between Fish Consumption and ACS among general populations without CVD history. Additional studies were identified via hand search of references of relevant articles. Estimates of relative risk (RR) were pooled using random effects model. Sex and age effects were also evaluated. Results: Our search retrieved 11 prospective cohort and 8 case-control studies, totaling 408,305 participants. Among prospective cohort studies, the highest category of Fish Consumption, i.e. ≥4 times per week, was associated with the greatest risk reduction in ACS (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.70-0.89). Among case-control studies, Fish Consumption also appeared to reduce ACS risk (RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.67-0.87 for 1 to

a quantitative analysis of Fish Consumption and coronary heart disease mortality
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2005Co-Authors: Ariane König, Colleen Bouzan, Joshua T. Cohen, William E. Connor, George M. Gray, Robert S. Lawrence, David A. Savitz, Penny M Krisetherton, Steven M. TeutschAbstract:Abstract Although a rich source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that may confer multiple health benefits, some Fish contain methyl mercury (MeHg), which may harm the developing fetus. U.S. government recommendations for women of childbearing age are to modify Consumption of high-MeHg Fish to reduce MeHg exposure, while recommendations encourage Fish Consumption among the general population because of the nutritional benefits. The Harvard Center for Risk Analysis convened an expert panel (see acknowledgments) to quantify the net impact of resulting hypothetical changes in Fish Consumption across the population. This paper estimates the impact of Fish Consumption on coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI). Other papers quantify stroke risk and the impacts of both prenatal MeHg exposure and maternal intake of n-3 PUFAs on cognitive development. This analysis identified articles in a recent qualitative review appropriate for the development of a dose–response relationship. Studies had to satisfy quality criteria, quantify Fish intake, and report the precision of the relative risk estimates. Relative risk results were averaged, weighted proportionately by precision. CHD risks associated with MeHg exposure were reviewed qualitatively because the available literature was judged inadequate for quantitative analysis. Eight studies were identified (29 exposure groups). Our analysis estimated that consuming small quantities of Fish is associated with a 17% reduction in CHD mortality risk, with each additional serving per week associated with a further reduction in this risk of 3.9%. Small quantities of Fish Consumption were associated with risk reductions in nonfatal MI risk by 27%, but additional Fish Consumption conferred no incremental benefits.

Studies had to satisfy quality criteria, quantify Fish intake, and report the precision of the relative risk estimates. The analysis combined the relative risk results, weighting each proportionately to its precision. Six studies were identified as appropriate for inclusion in this analysis, including five prospective cohort studies and one case–control study (total of 24 exposure groups). Our analysis indicates that any Fish Consumption confers substantial relative risk reduction compared to no Fish Consumption (12% for the linear model), with the possibility that additional Consumption confers incremental benefits (central estimate of 2.0% per serving per week).

A quantitative risk-benefit analysis of changes in population Fish Consumption.
American journal of preventive medicine, 2005Co-Authors: Joshua T. Cohen, David C. Bellinger, William E. Connor, Penny M. Kris-etherton, Robert S. Lawrence, David A. Savitz, Steven M. Teutsch, Bennett A. Shaywitz, George M. GrayAbstract:Abstract Although a rich source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that may confer multiple health benefits, some Fish contain methyl mercury (MeHg), which may harm the developing fetus. U.S. government recommendations for women of childbearing age are to modify Consumption of high-MeHg Fish, while recommendations encourage Fish Consumption among the general population because of nutritional benefits. To investigate the aggregate impacts of hypothetical shifts in Fish Consumption, the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis convened an expert panel (see acknowledgments). Effects investigated include prenatal cognitive development, coronary heart disease mortality, and stroke. Substitution of Fish with high MeHg concentrations with Fish containing less MeHg among women of childbearing age yields substantial developmental benefits and few negative impacts. However, if women instead decrease Fish Consumption, countervailing risks substantially reduce net benefits. If other adults (mistakenly and inappropriately) also reduce their Fish Consumption, the net public health impact is negative. Although high compliance with recommended Fish Consumption patterns can improve public health, unintended shifts in Consumption can lead to public health losses. Risk managers should investigate and carefully consider how populations will respond to interventions, how those responses will influence nutrient intake and contaminant exposure, and how these changes will affect aggregate public health.
