Concept of omega-3 index and its application
Omega-3(又称ω-3或n-3)指数的概念是2004年由Harris和von Schacky提出的,它是通过测红细胞膜二十碳五烯酸(eicosapentaenoic acid,EPA;C20:5n-3)和二十二碳六烯酸(docosahexaenoic acid,DHA;C22:6n-3)的含量(占红细胞膜总脂肪酸的比例),作为生物标记物来反映习惯膳食n-3多不饱和脂肪酸(polyunsaturated fatty acid,PUFA)的摄入.n-3指数作为心源性猝死的风险因子已被广泛使用 ...

Estimation and predictors of the Omega-3 Index in the UK Biobank. [PDF]
Abstract Information on the Omega-3 Index (O3I) in the United Kingdom (UK) is scarce. The UK-Biobank (UKBB) contains data on total plasma n 3-PUFA% and DHA% measured by NMR. The aim of our study was to create an equation to estimate the O3I (eO3I) from these data.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Pregnancy-The Case for a Target Omega-3 Index. [PDF]
Scientific societies recommend increasing intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by 200 mg/day during pregnancy. However, individually, clinical events correlate quite strongly with levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and DHA in blood, but these levels poorly correlate with amounts ingested.

Recent studies confirm the utility of the omega-3 index. [PDF]
Purpose of review The Omega-3 Index (O3I) was proposed 20 years ago as not only a marker of body omega-3 fatty acid status, but more importantly, as a risk factor for fatal coronary heart disease. The purpose of this review is to document the continued and growing use of this metric in nutrition research.

Baseline omega-3 index correlates with aggressive and attention deficit disorder behaviours in adult prisoners. [PDF]
There is emerging evidence that the supplementation of omega-3 contributes to a decrease in aggressive behaviour in prison populations. A challenge of such research is achieving statistical power against effect sizes which may be affected by the baseline

Omega-3 index in 2018/19 [PDF]
The omega-3 index, the percentage of EPA plus DHA in erythrocytes (measured by standardised analysis), represents a human body's status in EPA and DHA. An omega-3 index is measured in many laboratories around the world; however, even small differences in analytical methods entail large differences in results.
