Blood pressure, serum lipids, and fatty acids in populations on a lake‐fish diet or on a vegetarian diet in Tanzania

Blood pressure, serum lipids, and fatty acids in populations on a lake‐fish diet or on a vegetarian diet in Tanzania

Major risk factors for coronary heart disease were assessed in two populations of Tanzania, one on a fish diet (FD) living along the coast of Lake Nyasa, and the other, mainly on a vegetarian diet (VD), living in a farming area.

Zusammenfassung:Major risk factors for coronary heart disease were assessed in two populations of Tanzania, one on a fish diet (FD) living along the coast of Lake Nyasa, and the other, mainly on a vegetarian diet (VD), living in a farming area. Lower blood pressure values were found in the FD subjects (n=618) vs. VD (n=618) (systolic blood pressure, SBP, 120±15 vs. 135±20,P
