Long-chainn-3 fatty acids as an essential link between musculoskeletal and cardio-metabolic health in older adults

This narrative review aims to critically evaluate scientific evidence exploring the therapeutic role(s) of long-chain n -3 PUFA in the context of ageing, and specifically, sarcopenia. We highlight that beyond impairments in physical function and a lack of independence, the age-related decline in muscle mass has ramifications for cardio-metabolic health. Specifically, skeletal muscle is crucial in regulating blood glucose homeostasis (and by...
