SWEDEN —A recent study conducted at the Karolinska Institute and published in the journalAlzheimer’s & Dementia found that omega-3 fatty acids could help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

The study included 15 participants with Alzheimer’s disease, 20 participants with mild cognitive impairment, and 21 control subjects with no cognitive issues. The researchers analyzed fluid found in their brains as well as their brain tissue.

It is noted that Alzheimer’s disease is associated with inflammation in the brain. The team found that the omega-3 helped reverse the final stages of inflammation associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
