The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 8, June 2023

The Relationship of Omega-3 Fatty Acids with Dementia and Cognitive Decline: Evidence from Prospective Cohort Studies of Supplementation, Dietary Intake, and Blood Markers

Elsevier,

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Volume 117, June 2023

However, further investigation is needed to understand the gene–environment interactions involved in the intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
