dc.description.abstractBackground/Aims: Frequent consumption of fish is associated with decreased SBP levels. Both aging and living at high altitude are associated with significant increases in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) levels. The aim of this analysis was to examine the potential interaction between fish consumption and high altitude on SBP in elderly cohort. Methods: Mediterranean islands study (MEDIS) recruited 2749 older (aged 65+ years) individuals from 2005-2015. Participants were selected from 21 Mediterranean islands and the rural Mani region (Peloponnesus) of Greece. Dietary habits, energy intake, physical activity status, socio-demographic characteristics and clinical profile aspects (blood pressure) were measured. The altitude of the area was also recorded.
