Fish with higher amounts of ω-3 fatty acids are associated with a lower risk of CVD.
Encouraging the consumption of oily fish rich in ω-3 fatty acids may be beneficial for patients at risk of CVD.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Fish with higher amounts of ω-3 fatty acids were strongly associated with a lower risk of CVD (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.92-0.97 per 5-g increment of intake).
Why this rating
Based on a pooled analysis of individual participant data from multiple cohort studies.
