Summary:
The researchers found in an overview article of 12 prospective cohort studies with 672389 57641 deaths among participants, that eating a lot of fish the chance of death to all causes significantly with 6% reduced.
Research Question:
Although fish consumption impact on chronic disease-related mortality, the relationship between eating fish and all-cause mortality inconsistent. It was therefore carried out this review article.
Lowers the chance of eating fish death to all causes (all-cause mortalieit)?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 12 prospective cohort studies with 672389 participants, of which 57641 deaths.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found the highest fish consumption group compared to the lowest, a significantly reduced risk of all-cause mortality by 6% [RR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.90-0.98, I2 = 39.1%, p = 0.06].
The researchers found a non-linear relationship between eating fish and all-cause mortality.
The researchers found that eating 60 grams of fish per day significantly the risk of all-cause mortality with 12% [RR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.83-0.93] reduced.
The researchers concluded that eating a lot of fish (at least 60 grams per day) reduced the risk of all-cause mortiliteit.
