The researchers found that eating fish 2-4 times a week compared to 1-3 times a month, the chances of dying from heart disease significantly by 21% [95% CI = 0.67-0.92] reduced.

The researchers found that eating fish more than 5 times a week compared to 1-3 times a month, the chances of dying from heart disease non-significant 17% [95% CI = 0.68-1.01] reduced.
