This study evaluated whether omega-3 fatty acids are able to protect memory functions in healthy older adults. In course of the study, 44 healthy individuals aged 50-75 years received either omega-3 fatty acids or a placebo for 26 weeks. At the end of the study period, it was found that omega-3 fatty acids exerted positive effects on memory functions, as indicated by memory tests.
