Women of childbearing age can reduce their risk of heart problems by regularly eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, according to a Danish study.

The study is the first to examine younger women, age between 15 and 49 years, and determine whether fish in their diet has a real impact on their current likelihood of heart problems, instead of their longevity.

For instance, "those who rarely or never ate fish had 50 per cent more cardiovascular problems over eight years than those who ate fish regularly," the researchers write.

Women who rarely or never ate fish faced a 90 per cent higher risk of heart problems than those who ate fish weekly.

When researchers looked at hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease in three different assessments over a 30 week period, they found it was three times higher among women who did not eat fish. 

The findings, published in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association, are based on an eight-year Danish study of 49,000 women with a median age of 30 years.

Women were interviewed by phone about their family history, lifestyle and fish consumption, and were tracked over the next eight years. 

Long-term benefits

"We saw a strong association with cardiovascular disease in the women who were still in their late 30s," says Marin Strom, lead researcher and post doctoral fellow at the Centre for Fetal Programming at Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark. 

"The biggest challenge in getting health messages like this across to younger populations is that usually the benefits may not be evident for 30 or 40 years, but our study shows this is not the case."

Women most commonly reported eating cod, salmon, herring, and mackerel, all of which are high in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, believed to protect against heart and vascular disease.

The study focused exclusively on dietary intake of fish, not supplements with fish oil.

"Women who eat fish should find the results encouraging, but it is important to emphasise that to obtain the greatest benefit from fish and fish oils, women should follow the dietary recommendations to eat fish as a main meal at least twice a week," says Strom.

·                           根据丹麦的一项研究,处于生育期的妇女多吃富含欧米珈-3脂肪酸的鱼能够有效减少心脏问题发病的几率。

    该项研究针对年龄15-49岁的中青年妇女,第一次来研究日常饮食中吃鱼是否对她们的心脏问题有影响,而非对寿命的影响。

    比如说,“那些很少或根本不吃鱼的人,在8年后会比那些经常吃鱼的人患有心血管问题比率高出50%。”研究者写到。那些很少或从不吃鱼的妇女患有心脏问题的比率会比每周都吃鱼的妇女高出90%的风险。

    当研究者通过研究医院过去30周来心血管的三种发病病例,她们发现不吃鱼的妇女患病比例高达其它患者三倍。

    这项研究通过对丹麦49000名,平均年龄30岁的妇女,8年的研究,最终发表在《高血压:美国心脏协会期刊》上。研究者通过电话了解这些妇女的家庭历史,生活习惯,和吃鱼情况,并持续跟踪8年之久。

 

    “我们发现一些仅仅处于30多岁的妇女就遇到一些心血管疾病”丹麦哥本哈根国立血清研究院育儿中心的博士后,首席研究员Marin Storm说道,“获得这些健康信息的最大挑战是,通常这些针对年轻女性的好处在30或40年内都无法得到证实,但是我们的研究发现其实不然。

    妇女通常食用鳕鱼,鲑鱼,青鱼和马鲛鱼,所有这些都富含欧米珈-3脂肪酸,相信这些会让女性远离心脏和心血管疾病。

    这项研究专门针对日常饮食中对鱼的食用,不包括鱼油的补充。

    Storm说道“吃鱼的妇女会发现结果令人鼓舞,但是有必要强调的是为了从食鱼和鱼油中获得最大的受益,妇女应该按照推荐的饮食每周最少正餐吃鱼两次。
