All surveys followed a common standard protocol Face-to-face interviews & clinical sessions - Information on physical, social & psychosocial health Plasma PLs FA concentrations (1992-1996) - Capillary GLC at Guelph University (B.J. Holub) N=2803 (1323 M & 1480 W), 18-74 yrs of age - 52% Quebecers (n=1460, mean age= 40.1 yr) - 33% Cree (n=917, mean age=35.2 yr) - 15% Inuit (n=426, mean age=38.2 yr)

Contribution of Traditional Foods to EPA+DHA intake among the Inuit of Nunavik

Fat (Misirak): 1.5 g/d Fat (Misirak): 1.6 g/d 37.1-42.7 g/d 70.8-75.5 g/d 12.4-13.4 g/d 10.4-13.3 g/d 8.6-11.1 g/d 5.7-8.4 g/d 6.9-9.9 g/d

Sign. Diff. in CVD risk factor levels among the 3 pop HDL-chol, Total/HDL-chol, TG, SBP & DBP, Insuline - lowest among Inuit despite higher cig. Smoking & obesity Fish intake among Inuit - 2 times greater than Cree - 10 times greater than Quebecer CONCLUSION EPA+DHA plasma PLs - -2 times greater than Cree - -4 times greater than Quebeces EPA+DHA AHA 2002 ISSFAL 1999 0.5–1.8 g/day 0.7 g/day

Sign. Diff. in CVD risk factor levels among the 3 pop HDL-chol, Total/HDL-chol, TG, SBP & DBP, Insuline - lowest among Inuit despite higher cig. Smoking & obesity Fish intake among Inuit - 2 times greater than Cree - 10 times greater than Quebecer Greater availability of market food in many Aboriginal regions appears to be more attracting for young people. CONCLUSION EPA+DHA plasma PLs - -2 times greater than Cree - -4 times greater than Quebeces
