Fish paste consumption and cardiovascular disease.

Data about fish paste consumption was provided by one cohort (Iso H [2007]). (Non)significant protective effects against stroke mortality were found among both men and women.

Conclusion: Little data was available. Inconclusive evidence was found for an association between fish paste consumption and cardiovascular disease.
