Fish is a source of long-chain polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids, but it may also contain a number of pollutants.
Between April and July 2013, we selected 114 women who gave birth to living babies, and divided them according to type and frequency of the fish consumed. We evaluated both gestational and neonatal outcomes. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation was taken into account.
One hundred and four women (91.2%) consumed fish on the average of 4.7 times/month, while 10 (8.8%) did not consume fish at all. Fifty-nine women (51.8%) were taking supplements containing DHA (200mg/day), almost all of whom (n=55) consumed fish. Pregnancy induced hypertension was more frequent in non-fish eaters than in fish eaters (20% vs 4.8%, P=0.056). Consumption of small size oily fish correlated positively with both neonatal weight (r=0.195, P=0.037) and head circumference (r=0.211, P=0.024). In contrast, consumption of lean fish or shellfish correlated negatively with neonatal head circumference (r=0.206, P=0.028, or r=0.192, P=0.041).
These data agree with previous observational studies and reinforce the protective role of small oily fish consumption on preterm birth risk, neonatal weight, length and head circumference.
Small oily fish consumption should be favored over other types of fish.
鱼类是长链多不饱和n-3脂肪酸的来源,但也可能含有多种污染物。
2013年4月至7月,我们选取了114名分娩活产婴儿的女性,根据她们食用鱼类的种类和频率进行分组。我们评估了妊娠结局和新生儿结局。同时考虑了二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)补充剂的使用情况。
104名女性(91.2%)平均每月食用鱼类4.7次,而10名女性(8.8%)完全不食用鱼类。59名女性(51.8%)服用含DHA的补充剂(200毫克/天),其中几乎所有人(n = 55)都食用鱼类。非鱼类食用者中妊娠高血压的发生率高于鱼类食用者(20%对4.8%,P = 0.056)。食用小型油性鱼类与新生儿体重(r = 0.195,P = 0.037)和头围(r = 0.211,P = 0.024)均呈正相关。相比之下,食用瘦鱼或贝类与新生儿头围呈负相关(r = 0.206,P = 0.028,或r = 0.192,P = 0.041)。
这些数据与之前的观察性研究一致,进一步证实了食用小型油性鱼类对早产风险、新生儿体重、身长和头围的保护作用。
相较于其他类型的鱼类,应优先选择食用小型油性鱼类。
