Nat Commun: 17 prospective studies reveal that blood n-3 fatty acid levels are associated with reduced all-cause mortality

Since researchers reported the inverse relationship between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the risk of acute myocardial infarction in the Greenland Eskimos in the 1970s , the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) family has been The object of scientific research.

Recently, researchers reported the results of a new ensemble analysis from 17 prospective cohort studies that studied the relationship between blood omega-3 fatty acid levels and the risk of all-cause mortality.

During the 16-year follow-up, 15,720 of the 42,466 people included in the study died.

The highest and lowest quintiles of circulating long chain (20-22 carbon) omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) In comparison, the risk of death from all causes is significantly reduced in circulating long-chain (20-22 carbon) omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) The highest quintile compared with the lowest quintile, the risk of death from all causes is significantly reduced

Adjusted hazard ratios of circulating eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to total mortality (HR, 95% CI)

In addition, researchers have also found similar relationships with deaths caused by cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other causes.

No relationship with 18-carbon omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid has been found.

Higher circulating levels of marine n-3 PUFA are associated with a lower risk of premature death.
