Key Points:
- Approximately 80 to 90 percent of the US population has omega-3 levels below the optimal range for cardiovascular protection.
- Low omega-3 index is associated with a 15 to 30 percent higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality compared to individuals with higher levels.
- Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, help reduce serum triglycerides, decrease inflammation, and improve endothelial function in blood vessels.
- Insufficient omega-3 levels may contribute to increased cardiovascular risks due to their role in maintaining heart and vascular health.
