Intake of fish or omega-3 fatty acids may decrease risk of total and coronary heart disease death, but evidence from low-risk populations is less convincing. The authors assessed intake by using a food frequency questionnaire at baseline in a cohort of Iowa women aged 55-69 years. Among women initially free of heart disease and cancer (4,653 deaths over 442,965 person-years), there was an inverse age-and energy-adjusted association between total mortality and fish intake, with a relative risk of 0.82 (95% confidence interval : 0.74,0.91) for the highest versus lowest quintile. Age-and energy-adjusted associations also were inverse (p for trend
