Abstract
Present study was conducted to evaluate the fish consumption in relation to district, gender, age, qualification and duration wise and its effects on cardiovascular disease. The spectrum of this survey was Malakand Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, from October 2019 to February 2020. The results obtained were 1) The Fish consumption is higher in Malakand District as compare to other districts. 2) The fish consumption in male is 100% as compared to female which was 94%. 3) The fish consumption in male in district Buner is 98% in male and 100% in female. 4) Per capita consumption in Buner is highest 0.91kg and lowest in Dir upper is 0.43kg while intermediate in Shangla, Dir lower, Swat, and Malakand. 5) People having age group more than 45 years consumed more fish as compared to young. 6) Literacy have great impacts on fish consumption may be awareness regarding benefit of fish meat as healthy diet. 7) The percentage of people who consume fish once a week was highest 33.9% in Shangla and lowest 8% in Dir upper. 10) The daily fish consumption was highest (2.7%) in swat that is 2.7% as compared to other districts. 11) On the base statistical data it was concluded that the people consumed fish occasionally (Once in month) were greatly suffered from Hypertension, High Blood pressure and Other Heart problem (35, 28, 23), while those who used fish on daily basis were rarely suffered from these cardiovascular disease. The consumption of fish in Pakistan is 2Kg per annum per person while in Malakand division per capita consumption of fish is less than 1Kg. The daily intake of fish reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
