The Facts:
* Consumption of fish slowed the natural decline in cognitive function over a 5-year period in elderly men.
* Results showed that the greater the intake of fish oil (eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]), the slower the decline.
* Further studies are required to support these findings.
Shaun’s comment: This study provides further evidence that fish oil can prevent senility. This was a large study and a dose-response was seen in the results. In other words, the more fish that was eaten, the less decline was seen in cognitive functioning. A dose-response finding such as this provides strong evidence that the association between fish consumption and mental decline is real and not just a chance finding from the data.
