Regularly taking fish oil supplements could lower a person's risk of heart attack and stroke, and risk of death. FMTNews FishOil
New research has found that taking supplements of fish oil could lower an individual’s risk of heart disease.
Carried out by researchers in China and the US, the new study looked at data taken from the large-scale UK Biobank study, which includes genomic data on more than half a million UK residents. After asking the participants to complete questionnaires on their use of supplements, including fish oil, the researchers found that 31 percent of participants were regular fish oil supplements at the start of the study.The findings, published in The BMJ Thursday, showed that taking fish oil supplements appeared to lower the risk of death from all causes by 13%, and lowered the risk of death from CVD by 16%, compared to those who took no fish oil supplements.
Although it is still unclear exactly why fish oil could reduce the risk of CVD, the researchers note that previous studies have suggested that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil appear to have a positive effect on blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and heart rate, which could help prevent CVD events and reduce mortality.
