| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of fish-related biomarkers (plasma n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, mercury and cadmium) on risk of coronary heart disease in general population with intracohort case-control methods. An inverse association was observed between plasma eicosapenatenoic acid levels and risk of incident coronary heart disease. Stratified by plasma mercury and cadmium, the similar inverse trends were observed for each stratum. Though the conclusion was not definitive, our priory hypothesis that the preventive effect of fish on coronary heart disease would be weakened among persons with high plasma mercury or cadmium was not supported. In the Japanese general population, fish intake may be protective against risk of coronary heart disease regardless of mercury and cadmium levels.
