Summary: Nearly 900 older men and women free of dementia were followed to see if DHA omega-3 fatty acid levels are related to risk of developing dementia. Researchers found individuals with the highest DHA levels have a 47 percent reduction in all-cause dementia and a 39 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
