Scope
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.
Definition
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.[1]
Causality
None identified.
Unit
% change / # fish portions per week
