P42 Age and Education are Associated with Fried Fish Consumption in the Stroke Belt

Fish contain polyunsaturated fatty acids which are associated with decreased cardiovascular (CVD) risk. However, frying fish alters the fatty acids. Consumption of fried fish has been linked to increased risk of CVD and stroke, particularly in populations in the South's Stroke Belt. The purpose of this study was to explore characteristics associated with fried vs. non-fried fish consumption in the rural Appalachian region of the Stroke Belt.
