Higher levels of omega-3 index reduces chances of premature death in people ANI | Updated: Apr 24, 2021 17:20 IST
Washington [US], April 24 (ANI): The findings of a new study examining the relationship between the omega-3 index and risk of death from any and all causes showed that people with higher omega-3 EPA and DHA blood levels lived longer than those with lower levels.
The study was published in the journal Nature Communications. In other words, those people who died with relatively low omega-3 levels died prematurely, i.e., all else being equal, they might have lived longer had their levels been higher.
Numerous studies have investigated the link between omega-3s and diseases affecting the heart, brain, eyes and joints, but few studies have examined their possible effects on lifespan.
People with high omega-3 index less likely to die prematurely
