MedPage Today (10/5, George) reports, “Omega-3 fatty acid concentrations in red blood cells were linked with brain structure and cognitive function in midlife,” investigators concluded. In the study involving “about 2,200 people with an average age of 46, a higher omega-3 index was associated with a larger hippocampal volume and better abstract reasoning,” investigators found. What’s more, “APOE4 carriers with a higher omega-3 index had a lower white matter hyperintensity burden,” the study revealed. The findings were published online in the journal Neurology.
