BackgroundrnIntake offoods which are rich in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid red uced the risk of CardiornVascular Disease.rnObjectivesrnThe objective of thi s study was to evaluate the relationship between blood plasma lipid profilernand dietary intake of LC n-3 PUFA of Food Science and Nutrition students at Addis AbabarnUniversity (AAU).rnMethodologyrnThe Study design was a cross-sectional study which evaluated the effect of fi sh and fish productrnconsumption over blood plasma Total Cholestero l, Triglyceride, LDL, of a total of 40 young andrneducated men and women who attend at Center for Food Science and Nutrition Addis AbabarnUniversity. A pretested, structured, interviewer administered Food Frequency Questionnairernwere used.rnResultsrnFrom the food items listed on the food frequency questionnaire the majority of their intake wasrn100% low except for canned tuna (7.5%) and canned sardine (2.5%). Among the total paJ1icipantrnn= 40 the distribution of chol esterol was determined to be: 90% was at desirable level, 7.5% atrnborder line and 2.5% at high cholesterol level. Distribution of LDL was 57.5% at normal level,rn30% at low border line, 7.5% at high borderl ine and 5% at high LDL level. Distribution ofHDLrn2.5% desirable, 70% sati sfactory and 27.5% too low, and the distribution of Triglycerides 90%rnnormal, 7.5% borderline high and 2.5% high.Conclusion and RecommendationsrnThe dietary intake of food rich in n-3 by 40 students was found to be lower than thernrecommended dietary intake. This was supported by the 97.5 % of the HDL level that was belowrnthe desirable level. Moreover, LDL cholesterol at normal level was only s7.s%.The populationrngroups of this research deliberately targeted postgraduate students of Addis Ababa UniversityrnCentre for Food Science and Nutrition because they were considered to know the effects ofrnsaturated and unsaturated fatty acid in health. The low intake LCPUFA that were observed in thisrneducated student group can be extrapolated to the high probability of other groups of the societyrnbeing at higher risk also for chronic diseases such as CVD.rnKey Words: Fats; n-3 fatty acids; Post Graduate Students; Low Density Lipoprotein; HighrnDensity Lipoprotein; Trig/ycerides; Chronic Diseases
