n‐3 fatty acids and coronary heart disease Epidemiology from Eskimos to Western populations
Summary The original cross‐cultural comparisons between Greenland Eskimos and Danes and between Japan and Western countries suggested that a high fish intake was associated with low mortality rates from coronary heart disease.
