Whole blood omega-3 fatty acid concentrations are inversely associated with blood pressure in young, healthy adults

Omega-3 fatty acids (n - 3 FA) may have blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects in untreated hypertensive and elderly patients. The effect of n - 3 FA on BP in young, healthy adults remains unknown. The Omega-3 Index reliably reflects an individuals' omega-3 status. We hypothesized that the Omega-3 Index is inversely associated with BP levels in young healthy adults.The current study (n = 2036) is a cross-sectional study investigating the baseline...
