Assessment of metal intakes via fish consumption in women from coastal Croatia
The investigation aimed at evaluating patterns of seafood consumption and potential health risks from toxic metal and metalloid intake in healthy postpartum women (N=107, mean age 29.5±4.9 years) from the Zadar County in coastal Croatia. The participants filled in a short questionnaire including self-estimated dietary intake of different types of seafood (lean and oily fish, shellfish and canned fish), their consumption frequency, and portion size based on the photographs of specifically prepared quantitative models of seafood serving portions. Other sources of metal exposure, personal data, and lifestyle were also recorded. The questionnaires showed that pregnant women from the Zadar County consumed marine fish on average 7 times per month, shellfish 4 times per month, and canned fish once a month, which corresponds to an estimated seafood intake of 52 g/day. European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus) were among the most frequently consumed fish species with an average intake of 7.5 g/day and 5.6 g/day, respectively. We estimated the daily intake of four main toxic metals and metalloids (mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic), taking into consideration maternal weight, frequency of consumption and mean level of each element in the edible part of studied fish species. The values were below tolerable intake values established by regulatory agencies (EFSA and JECFA). According to the frequency of maternal fish intake and low level of toxic metals/metalloids in most frequently consumed species (hake and sardine), fish in diets of people from coastal Croatia do not present a health risk for pregnant women.
