Intake of fish and long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and incidence of metabolic syndrome among American young adults: a 25-year follow-up study

摘要

Purpose Studies suggest that long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC omega 3PUFA) intake and its primary food source-fish-may have beneficial effects on the individual components of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We examined the longitudinal association between fish or LC omega 3PUFA intake and MetS incidence.
