July 16, 2014 — Regular use of fish oil supplements may significantly reduce cognitive decline and improve brain function in older adults, says a study.
The study by researchers at Rhode Island Hospital examined the relationship between fish oil supplements during the US Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and indicators of cognitive decline.
In this retrospective study, older adults were assessed with neuropsychological tests and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) every six months.
