Article Synopsis
- Higher omega-3 fatty acid levels, measured by the Omega-3 Index (O3I), are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and total mortality.
- A study compared omega-3 levels in people living in Newport, RI (close to fresh seafood) versus those from five inland US cities, revealing that Newport residents had significantly higher O3I levels.
- Despite Newport's higher average O3I, only a small percentage achieved the optimal level of omega-3s, indicating that even coastal residents may need to increase seafood intake or consider supplements for better omega-3 health benefits.
