Energy balance

In general populations, fish consumption of 350 g/week or more is not associated with risk of major CVD or total mortality.

For the general population, increasing fish intake beyond 350 g/week may not provide additional cardiovascular benefits.

StrongRefutesmedium confidence
During 9.1 years of follow-up in PURE, compared with little or no fish intake (≤50 g/mo), an intake of 350 g/wk or more was not associated with risk of major CVD (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.86-1.04) or total mortality (HR, 0.96; 0.88-1.05).
