Cover story:Specific nutrients, such as omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) could benefit older adults and the population in general by preventing and reducing comorbidities and mortality. They include eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, and the less prevalent docosapentaenoic acid. In this article, we analyzed the possible pleiotropic effects of LC-PUFAs on the health of older adults focusing on cognition and mood, hypertension, heart disease, vascular endothelial cell function, glucose and lipid metabolism, muscle performance, bone health, and immune function..View this paper.
