“…Given the known health benefits of fish consumption [1,2,20,26] it is of great importance that efforts such as this are made in order to accurately measure fish intake in dietary trials. Future research should aim to expand on these findings, to the development of a comprehensive canned fish and seafood database which can be used in a wide variety of future trials.…”

“…Habitual fish consumption has been associated with a range of health benefits, including decreased incidence of stroke and heart failure and decreased mortality from cardiovascular disease [1][2][3][4][5]. There is evidence that canned fish and seafood products such as canned tuna are increasing in popularity as a convenient source of fish in Australia.…”

“…Population studies demonstrated that the high intake of LC-PUFA n-3 deriving from fish oils as well as see fish was associated with a reduced occurrence of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction and stroke, but potentially it can be associated with a reduced occurrence of AD due to vessels mechanisms [25][26][27]. An impact of fish and meat intake frequency on dementia risk was assessed in the study PAQUID (Personnes Agées QUID) in the group of 1416 elderly people from France (>68 years of age).…”

Many abnormalities can be observed in the nutrition of elderly people which, as a consequence, lead to occurrence or progression of many already existing diet-dependent diseases. The aim of this work was assessment of nutrients consumption, important for prevention and treatment of diet-dependent diseases and potentially neuropsychological diseases, including Alzheimer disease. The intake of antioxidant vitamins, group B vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids in food ratios was assessed among 1001 people over 60 years of age, from Wroclaw and nearby areas, SW Poland. Selected parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were determined in the blood of surveyed people. A deficit intake of all nutrients was demonstrated in groups distinguished by MNA form. Moreover, it was demonstrated that statistically significant, the lowest amounts of vitamin A, E, C, B6, B12, folates, and many other polyunsaturated fatty acids were consumed by women at risk of malnutrition in comparison with women with an adequate nutritional status. Statistically significant lower biochemical parameters, such as TC, LDL TG and glucose were also demonstrated in the group of women at risk of malnutrition than in the group of women with an adequate nutriational status. Control and supervision of the elderly persons' nutritional intake constitutes the basis of the assessment of risk of deficiency of particular nutritional components occurrence and negative health effects deriving from it. Poor nutrition of seniors along with longer life, from demographic point of view, induces to search for new efficient health-oriented strategies.

“…It was reported that fish consumption has beneficial effects on stroke mortality in men and women [191,192], especially on ischemic stroke but not against hemorrhagic stroke. This is further supported by the results of a metaanalysis, which also showed that increased fish consumption reduced the incidence of total stroke and ischemic stroke, and decreased stroke-related mortality [193].…”

Omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and to a limited extent -6 fatty acids: arachidonic acid (AA), -linolenic acid (GLA) and dihomo-GLA (DGLA), prevent cardiovascular disease, thrombosis and atherosclerosis, reduce cardiac arrhythmias, lower plasma cholesterol and triglycerides, lower high blood pressure and improve endothelial function. These beneficial actions of the fatty acids could be attributed to their ability to augment endothelial nitric oxide generation, inhibit HMG-CoA reductase and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities, block the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and modulate telomerase activity. AA, EPA, and DHA form precursors to anti-inflammatory molecules: lipoxins and resolvins that help in wound healing, inhibit the actions of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, and suppress the production of free radicals and enhance nitric oxide (NO) generation. In addition, these fatty acids react with NO and NO-derived reactive nitrogen species to form nitroalkene derivative of fatty acids called as nitrolipids. Nitrolipids serve as potent ligands for peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), inhibit platelet activation through elevation of cyclic AMP levels; suppress superoxide generation, degranulation, and integrin expression by human neutrophils, and induce vasorelaxation in a concentration dependent manner by releasing NO. Nitrolipids are formed at the sites of inflammation in significant amounts and increased by oxidative inflammatory reactions. Furthermore, -3 and -6 fatty acids interact with each other to enhance the formation of prostaglandin E 1 (PGE 1 ), prostacyclin (PGI 2 ), and PGI 3 , which are potent platelet anti-aggregators and vasodilators. Thus, GLA, DGLA, AA, EPA, and DHA when present in optimum amounts in the tissues, especially in endothelial cells, myocardium, platelets, and neutrophils, may aid in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
