Adipose tissue fatty acid composition and cognitive impairment
• Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), present in fatty fish, may protect against cognitive decline.• Adipose tissue fatty acid composition reflects long-term exposure to EPA and DHA.• High EPA to arachidonic acid ratio in adipose tissue was associated with better cognit ive function.
