Cardiovascular risk and the omega-3 index
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007A reliable risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD) for the general population remains to be defined. We propose the omega-3 index, defined as the combined percentage of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) in red blood cell membranes. It reflects the EPA + DHA status of a given individual. It can be determined by a standardised and

Discrepancy between Knowledge and Perceptions of Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acid Intake Compared with the Omega-3 Index [PDF]
Nutrients, 2017 Little is known about the relationship between perceptions of nutrient adequacy and biomarkers of nutrition status. This cross-sectional study of U.S. and German adults (n = 200; 18–80 years) compared dietary practices, knowledge, and beliefs of omega-3 fatty acids (O3-FA) with the omega-3 index (O3-I), an erythrocyte-based biomarker associated with ...

Omega-3 index, obesity and insulin resistance in children
Pediatric Obesity, 2011Recent studies in adults have suggested that the plasma level of omega-3 fatty acids may be associated with weight status and abdominal adiposity, limited studies exist in paediatric populations. The present study examined the relationship between the omega-3 index, weight status and insulin resistance in children.School-age children between 5-12 years,

Why docosapentaenoic acid is not included in the Omega-3 Index
Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 2018As currently defined, the Omega-3 Index comprises eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), but not docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) in erythrocytes. In fish and many fish oils DPA is detectable (along with EPA and DHA), but sources rich in DPA are scarce.

Advances in Integrative Medicine, 2020
Abstract Background Omega-3 fatty acids are associated with beneficial health outcomes including reduced cardiovascular disease. Few individuals meet their requirements for omega 3 fatty acids through foods. Supplementation may be a viable option. Aim This open-label trial was designed to examine the effects of a novel krill-oil supplement on ...

The Omega-3 Index in Military Personnel: A Systematic Review
Military MedicineABSTRACT Introduction Long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA), primarily eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have received considerable interest from the scientific community as a dietary strategy to enhance physical performance, recovery, and neuroprotection ...

The Omega-3 Index: Clinical Utility for Therapeutic Intervention
Current Cardiology Reports, 2010Red blood cell levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are a reflection of tissue levels and are determined by a complex interplay of metabolism and nutrition. Low levels of EPA+DHA in erythrocytes are associated with increased risk for sudden cardiac death.

The Omega-3 Index as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2011The Omega-3 Index has been defined as eicosapentaenoic plus docosahexaenoic acids in erythrocytes. Integral part of the definition is a standardized analytical procedure, which conforms to the standards of Clinical Chemistry. This resulted in more than 90 collaborative research projects, concluded and ongoing, and 64 publications so far.

Omega‐3 fatty acids from fish or capsules have equal impact on the omega‐3 index
The FASEB Journal, 2007Omega‐3 fatty acids (FA) have beneficial cardiovascular effects at intakes of about 500 mg/d. Such intakes can be achieved by consuming oily fish or taking fish oil capsules. A direct comparison of the effect of these two approaches on validated biomarkers of omega‐3 FA is lacking.

The effects of fish or fish oil on the omega‐3 index
Nutrition & Dietetics, 2012AbstractAim: To compare the impact of recommended intakes of fish and fish oil supplements on the omega‐3 index and selected risk factors in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods: A 12‐week crossover intervention comparing the impact of 1 g/day of long‐chain omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fresh salmon or fish oil capsules on the ...
