进行了一项研究，以检验人均海产品消费率较高的国家杀人死亡率较低的假设。关于杀人死亡率的数据来自卫生组织1995年年度卫生统计报告，而关于海产食品表观消费量的数据来自粮农组织。表观海产品消费量的定义是海产品从经济中消失，按渔获量加进口量减出口量计算。美国被排除在初始分析之外。海鲜消费量较低的国家因杀人而死亡的比率较高，在简单回归中r =-0.47，在对数回归模型中r =-0.63。一些非亚洲国家的海产品消费率很高，而杀人致死率很低。研究结果支持这一假设，即较低水平的海产品消费，以及可能的二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸摄入量，预示着较高的杀人死亡率。
A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that countries with higher per capita rates of seafood consumption will have lower rates of mortality due to homicide. Data on rates of death due to homicide were obtained from the 1995 Annual Health Statistics report of the WHO, while data on apparent seafood consumption were obtained from the FAO. Apparent seafood consumption is defined as disappearance of seafood from the economy calculated as catch plus imports minus exports. The US was excluded from the initial analysis. Countries with lower apparent seafood consumption had higher rates of death due to homicide, r = - 0.47 in a simple regression, and r = -0.63, in a logarithmic regression model. Several non-Asian countries had high rates of seafood consumption and low rates of death due to homicide. The results support the hypothesis that lower levels of seafood consumption, and presumably eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid intake, predict higher rates of death due to homicide.
