| − | | |
| − | ERF of omega-3 fatty acids on CVD risk in adults can be represented as a random variable or as a constant. It is indexed by variable age. It applies to the last two age categories, i.e. 18-55yr and 55yr+.

Dietary intake of n-3 fatty acids and the risk of acute myocardial infarction: a case-control study. (In Spanish) 2002;118:121–5.</ref> examined the relationship between intake of fish and n-3 PUFA and the risk of first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a low risk population from Navarre (Spain). They found that the n-3 PUFA intake has a protective effect on AMI. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for the second and third tertile of n-3 PUFA intake were 0.44 (95% Cl, 0.21-0.91) and 0.47 (95% Cl, 0.22-1.00), respectively. The trend test was not statistically significant. {{Disclink| Time unit for ERF of n-3 PUFA}}
