Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigates whether long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (LCn3FA) can improve memory in healthy older adults by using a sensitive test called LOCATO, specifically for object-location memory (OLM).
  • Results showed that after 26 weeks of taking LCn3FA, participants had a significant increase in their omega-3 blood levels and performed better in recalling object locations compared to those on a placebo, although there was no significant effect on other memory tests like the AVLT.
  • The findings suggest that LCn3FA may have beneficial effects on certain types of memory in healthy aging, offering potential strategies to help preserve cognitive function in older adults.
