Climate change is leading to declines in seafood consumption among First Nations in British Columbia. This article assesses the combined impacts of reduced omega-3 fatty acids and mercury intake from seafood on the risk of myocardial infarction among First Nations. The authors draw on data from the First Nations Food, Nutrition, and Environment Study for BC and model this data under projected climate change scenarios of declines in nutrient intake from seafood combined with effects of mercury exposure to assess cardiovascular risk for both men and women.
