Can fish oil benefit brain health in older adults? Well, it depends. A new study found that while a specific group of older adults could benefit from regular fish oil use, the general population did not experience the same advantages.
A clinical trial conducted at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) examined the brain health effects of fish oil among older adults and discovered that omega-3 fatty acid use could benefit those with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's. However, researchers did not find significant benefits for all older adults in general.
