Lipid profiles among fish-consuming coastal and non-fish-consuming inland populations.
Serum lipid profiles were examined in 100 individuals of fish-consuming coastal and 109 individuals of non-fish-consuming inland populations. The fish-consuming population showed lower mean serum cholesterol, triacylglycerols and significantly higher levels of HDL cholesterol and phospholipids. The bleeding time and clotting time were significantly prolonged in the fish-eating population. Thus the fish-consuming population showed lower risk factors of coronary heart disease when compared to the non-fish-consuming population.
