Association of Total Marine Fatty Acids Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Acids With Aortic Stiffness in Koreans Whites and Japanese Americans

摘要

BACKGROUNDFew previous studies have reported the association of aortic stiffness with marine n-3 fatty acids (Fas) in the general population. The aim of this study was to determine the combined and independent associations of 2 major marine n-3 FAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), with aortic stiffness evaluated using carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) in Korean, white, and Japanese American men.
