Yamagishi K, et al. - In this pooled analysis of original data from a maximum of 8 cohort studies, researchers tested the premise that fish intake is inversely related to mortality from aortic diseases (aortic dissection and aneurysm). Participants in the study were 366,048 community-based men and women who had no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer. They found nonlinear inverse associations between fish intake and total aortic disease. It was noted that persons who seldom ate fish had higher mortality from aortic dissection, aneurysm, and total aortic diseases. Findings revealed that higher mortality was not observed in those who ate fish 1-2 times/month.
