Consuming Omega-3 Daily Slows Down Rate Of Biological Aging In Humans, Analysis Suggests

MedPage Today (2/3, George) reports, “Consuming 1 g of omega-3 per day may slow down the rate of biological aging in humans, a post-hoc analysis of DO-HEALTH trial data suggested.” The trial “tested the effects of three daily interventions – 2,000 IU of vitamin D, 1 g of omega-3, or a strength-training program – on older adults in Europe.” Researchers found that “in a post-hoc study of 777 Swiss participants, 1 g of omega-3 daily slowed aging on three of four DNA methylation clocks – PhenoAge, GrimAge2, and DunedinPACE – over 3 years.” The findings were published in Nature Aging.
