The results of the study published in the journal Nature Communications by American scientists show that they found a relationship between the index of le omega-3 fatty acids and the risk of premature death.
According to the results of the meta-analysis, which included information on 42,000 people from different countries, people with higher indices of docosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids (fatty acid types) in their blood had an average 13% lower risk of premature death than those with low levels of these microelements. In all other cases, patients deficient in these acids are more likely to die from cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes.
For years, scientists have been studying the link between omega-3 levels and diseases affecting the heart, brain, joints and vision, but few have examined the possible impact of fatty acids on life expectancy.
New research confirms that omega-3s found in marine fish and seafood may have beneficial effects on overall health, which may slow the aging process.
