While this data is new, it isn’t the first time Omega-3 has been linked with a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s.
Senior author of the study Dr Harris added: “Most interestingly, 15 years ago similar findings were reported by Schaefer et al.
“[They] reported that participants experienced a significant, 47% reduction in the risk of developing all-cause dementia compared with those with lower levels.”
However, before the NHS begins to advise the use of Omega-3 supplements, more research is required on the link between Omega-3 and Alzheimer’s disease.
