Filipovic MG, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers tested the hypothesis that the Omega-3 Index, an indicator of an individuals’ omega-3 status, is inversely linked with blood pressure (BP) levels in young healthy adults. The study included healthy adults (age 25–41 years) and excluded individuals with cardiovascular disease, known diabetes, or a BMI higher than 35 kg/m². Gas chromatography was used to calculate the Omega-3 Index in whole blood. Multivariable linear regression models adjusted for potential confounders were used to determine the association with office and 24-hour BP. They found that in normotensive young and healthy individuals, a higher Omega-3 Index was linked with statistically significant, clinically relevant lower SBP and DBP levels. A strategy for primary prevention of hypertension may involve diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
