| − | What is the exposure-response function ([[ERF]]) of omega-3-rich fish intake on neurological disorders in adults? Especially the focus is on brain infarction.

| − | === Data ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | In a recent study, 3660 over 65-year-old individuals were monitored for five years, and the change in small brain infarctions was observed by magnetic resonance imageing. The infaction risk was 25 % lower in those who ate at least three portions of omega-3-rich fish meals per week, and 13 % lower in those who ate one meal per week.<ref>Fish consumption and risk of subclinical brain abnormalities on MRI in older adults
