The results show that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can improve the cognitive ability of the elderly

Recently, a new study published in the Journal of nutrition shows that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can improve the cognitive ability of the elderly In this study, researchers from the Boston Puerto Rico health (http:// study evaluated the effects of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids on red blood cell (RBC) and cognitive function in elderly people with an average age of 57 First, the researchers measured the initial omega-3 and omega-6 levels of the subjects through the patent technology of omegaquan (http:// Over the next two years, 1032 subjects took the mini mental state examination (MMSE) and 865 subjects took other tests related to cognitive function Finally, the researchers evaluated the changes in scores and analyzed (http:// their association with omega-3 and omega-6 levels The researchers finally found that there was no significant correlation between omega-3 levels in blood and MMSE scores, but they were related to subjects' executive ability The higher omega-3 level, the stronger the subjects' executive ability In addition, over a two-year observation period, the researchers found that long-chain omega-6 fatty acids and arachidonic acid (ARA) were associated with a 26% increased risk of cognitive impairment Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, are important for heart, brain, eye and joint health; most people don't get enough fatty acids, which may increase their risk, the researchers said
