奥及布韦健康研究 (OHS) 结束了 10 年的数据收集和暴露评估。来自威斯康星州、密歇根州和明尼苏达州（美国）部落的 822 名参与者完成了鱼类消费和环境风险认知调查问卷。许多参与者提供了头发和血液样本，用于汞和多氯联苯 (PCB) 残留物分析，作为这些持久性环境污染物的身体负担指标。部落组织收集鱼类，并分析污染物以用于众多部落报告和专业环境期刊文章，五大湖印第安鱼类和野生动物委员会使用这些数据来制作部落特定的地理信息系统地图，作为公共卫生干预策略的一部分。这些地图目前可在 www.glifwc.org 上找到，这些地图涉及定期捕捞白眼鱼的威斯康星州六个部落。为了确定污染物对癌症、糖尿病和生殖的健康影响（如果有的话），有必要了解癌症死亡率和出生性别比等关键指标的最新趋势。五大湖部落间委员会向 OHS 以及威斯康星州和密歇根州的每个参与部落提供了健康概况。 720 名部落参与者自我报告的鱼类总消费量（通过回忆估计）为 60 克/天，但其中一个部落群体的最高实际消费量为 11.2 克/天。部落参与者的最高血液浓度为 18.6 ppb 总血清 PCB 和 11.8 ppb 总血汞。 90% 的参与者血清 PCB 总量低于 3.8 ppb，血汞总量低于 2.6 ppb。与其他针对自给性捕鱼人口的研究相比，这些接触量仅适度升高，并没有高到足以对饮食进行广泛限制的程度。此外，必须不断强调吃鱼的好处。然而，食用体型较大、污染程度较高的鱼类的游钓渔民及其家人应遵守国家鱼类消费建议，以尽量减少健康风险。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
The Ojibwe Health Study (OHS) has concluded 10 years of data collection and exposure assessment. Eight hundred and twenty-two participants from tribes in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota (USA) completed fish consumption and environmental risk perception questionnaires. Many participants provided hair and blood samples for mercury and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) residue analyses as body burden indicators of these persistent environmental pollutants. Fish were collected by the tribal organizations and contaminants were analyzed for numerous tribal reports and professional environmental journal articles, these data were used by the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission to produce tribal-specific geographic information systems maps as part of a public health intervention strategy. These maps are currently available at www.glifwc.org for six Wisconsin tribes that regularly harvest walleye. To determine the health impacts (if any) of pollutants on cancer, diabetes, and reproduction, it was necessary to know the recent trends in key indicators such as cancer mortality ratios and birth gender ratios. The Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council provided the OHS and each participating tribe in Wisconsin and Michigan with a health profile. Total fish consumption (estimated by recall) for 720 tribal participants was self-reported as 60 g/day, but the highest actual consumption was measured as 11.2g/day in one of the tribal groups. The highest blood concentrations in tribal participants were 18.6 ppb total serum PCBs and 11.8 ppb total blood mercury. Ninety percent of the participants had less than 3.8 ppb total serum PCBs and 2.6 ppb total blood mercury. Compared to other studies of subsistence fishing populations, these exposures were only moderately elevated and not high enough to warrant widespread restrictions on diets. Furthermore, the benefits of eating a fish diet must be continually emphasized. However, sport fishermen and their families who consume larger and more contaminated fish should abide by their state fish consumption advisories to minimize their health risks.
