Fish and seafood consumption and omega 3 intake in French coastal populations: CALIPSO survey

Abstract: Objective: To describe part of the results of the CALIPSO study, i.e. to provide seafood consumption data on high seafood consumers in France and its contribution to n-3 long-chain (LC) PUFA intake. Design and subjects: A total of 1011 individuals aged 18 years and over, who consumed fish and seafood at least twice weekly, were recruited. A consumption survey and a local 'total diet study' were performed to examine seafood consumption, fatty acids composition of seafood and to assess n-3 LC PUFA intake. Settin… Show more

“…However, even when diets were evaluated over a longer period, foods may have been grouped together (e.g., n-3 PUFA-rich fish and fish less rich in n-3 PUFAs), which may reduce the specificity of intake data. Second, some studies took the use of food supplements into consideration [40,41,42] or even selected participants based on very high seafood consumption (a survey in French coastal populations) [43], while others specifically excluded fish oil supplement users [44,45,46] and some studies just did not report whether or not supplements were taken into consideration. Also, in some countries the use of food supplements in general (not specifically, n-3 PUFA supplements) by pregnant and lactating women is quite common (e.g., in the study of Rodriguez-Bernal, 55.8% of the women report the use of multivitamin supplements) [42], which may explain the large variation in PUFA intake.…”

“…Both groups were supplemented for 12 months. In the n-3 LCPUFA-supplemented group, the intake of EPA (20:5 n-3) and DHA (22:6 n-3) represented ‫ف‬ 0.06% and 0.3% of total energy, respectively, which is equivalent to the highest level of consumption of French coastal populations ( 23 ) and corresponds to the recommended daily intake of EPA and DHA for the French population ( 22 ). These proportions correspond to a daily intake of about 6 mg EPA and 30 mg DHA per animal.…”

“…Based on a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), 63 seafood products including fish, molluscs, crustaceans and seafood-based dishes were selected in four French coastal areas, covering 88-100% of total seafood consumption (Bemrah et al, 2009). Local sampling took into account the frequencies and quantities consumed, and the purchase place of consumers for each species according to the methodology developed previously (Leblanc et al, 2005).…”

“…Moreover, the absence of French data on the levels of ''indirect'' or ''direct'' exposure to certain substances (omega 3 and pollutants in particular) of populations consuming large quantities of seafood does not enable a quantified assessment of the benefits or risks associated with these dietary habits, a situation that is obviously prejudicial to the global health risk evaluation and management process. The objectives of the CALIPSO study (Consommations ALimentaires de produits de la mer et Imprégnation aux éléments traces, PolluantS et Oméga 3) started in 2004 were to assess food exposure and biomarkers of exposure of the main toxic trace elements present in fish and other seafood and products from a group of frequent consumers (Bemrah, Sirot, Leblanc, & Volatier, 2009;Guérin, Sirot, Volatier, & Leblanc, 2007;Leblanc, 2006;Sirot, Guérin, Volatier, & Leblanc, 2009;Sirot, Oseredczuk, BemrahAouachria, Volatier, & Leblanc, 2008a;Sirot, Samieri, Volatier, & Leblanc, 2008c;Sirot et al, 2008b). The study shows that the contaminant levels measured in fish and other seafood are globally satisfactory when compared with currently applicable regulations, with the exception of a few products.…”
