Résumé
Higher fish consumption has been reported to be associated with a lower incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). We hypothesized that higher fish intake may be associated with lower serum level of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels, representing the entire dyslipidemia spectrum, and a healthy lifestyle. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of 1270 apparently healthy males over the age of 50 years without lipid-modifying therapy at the Health Planning Center of Nihon University Hospital between April and August 2018. The average number of days of fish intake per week was 2.6 ± 1.4. We performed analysis of variance using fish consumption as a categorical variable (0-1 day, 2-3 days, 4-5 days, or 6-7 days per week). The serum non-HDL-C levels in the 6-7 days fish intake group were significantly lower than those in the 0-1 and 2-3days fish intake groups. Furthermore, with increasing frequency of fish intake per week, the proportion of subjects with cigarette smoking decreased (p = 0.026), that of subjects engaging in habitual aerobic exercises increased (p = 0.034), and the sleep duration of the subjects increased (p < 0.0001). These results suggest that a high frequency of fish intake, that is a fish intake of 6-7 days per week, was associated with healthier lifestyle behaviours as well as lower non-HDL-C levels, and thus may represent a component of a healthy lifestyle associated with a lower risk of CAD in Japanese males over the age of 50.

BACKGROUND AND AIM
Higher fish consumption has been reported to be associated with a lower incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). We hypothesized that higher fish intake may be associated with lower serum level of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels, representing the entire dyslipidemia spectrum, and a healthy lifestyle.
METHODS AND RESULTS
This cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of 1270 apparently healthy males over the age of 50 years without lipid-modifying therapy at the Health Planning Center of Nihon University Hospital between April and August 2018. The average number of days of fish intake per week was 2.6 ± 1.4. We performed analysis of variance using fish consumption as a categorical variable (0-1 day, 2-3 days, 4-5 days, or 6-7 days per week). The serum non-HDL-C levels in the 6-7 days fish intake group were significantly lower than those in the 0-1 and 2-3days fish intake groups. Furthermore, with increasing frequency of fish intake per week, the proportion of subjects with cigarette smoking decreased (p = 0.026), that of subjects engaging in habitual aerobic exercises increased (p = 0.034), and the sleep duration of the subjects increased (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest that a high frequency of fish intake, that is a fish intake of 6-7 days per week, was associated with healthier lifestyle behaviours as well as lower non-HDL-C levels, and thus may represent a component of a healthy lifestyle associated with a lower risk of CAD in Japanese males over the age of 50.
