This study examined the cross-sectional and retrospective longitudinal associations between erythrocyte omege 3 (ω-3) index and cognition, brain imaging, and biomarkers among older adults. Longitudinally, low ω-3 index was associated with greater Aβ accumulation and WMS cognitive decline but unexpectedly with lower total Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) cognitive decline. Although no associations were cross-sectionally found in the whole population, low ω-3 index was associated with lower WMS cognition and higher tau accumulation among ApoE ε4 carriers.
