Background
• Multiple studies have shown an inverse relationship between fish/omega-3 fatty acid consumption and cardiovascular events/death
• One potential mechanism includes omega-3 fatty acids’ impact on endothelial function
• Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a noninvasive surrogate for endothelial function
• Few studies have examined the relationship between dietary fish and FMD

Study Hypotheses
1. Consumption of non-fried fish foods rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentanoic acid (EPA), docosahexanoic acid (DHA)) will be positively associated with larger FMD across ethnic groups.
Omega-3 rich (EPA, DHA) diet Flow-mediated dilation (FMD)
2. Concentrations of EPA and DHA in plasma phospholipids will demonstrate positive associations with FMD.

• Cross-sectional analysis of MESA participants– n=6,814 men and women aged 45-85 years, free of CVD– Multi-center participation, 6 U.S. sites
• Baseline data collection including:– 120-item food frequency questionnaire– FMD measures (n = 3,137)– plasma phospholipid/fatty acid measures (n = 1,642)

Summary 1. Gender differences were observed in the
relationship between non-fried fish and both baseline artery diameter and FMD within the MESA cohort
2. Results examining plasma EPA+DHA levels corroborated results observed in dietary non-fried fish intake
3. Some race/ethnic differences were suggested
![Page 16: Omega-3 Fatty Acid/Fish Intake and Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated Dilation](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568163dd550346895dd534d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Next Steps
1. Are gender differences in brachial measures explained by variation in plasma %EPA vs %DHA?
2. Gender differences in the relationship between fish consumption & clinical events within MESA?
3. Gender differences in fish consumption & other markers of subclinical CVD (i.e. IMT, LV structure/function)?
4. Results replicable in other large cohorts with mixed race/ethnic groups?
