Close this windowA recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in Circulation (Gencer et al, 2021) looked at seven RCTs (81,210 patients) that examined the cardiovascular outcomes of marine omega-3 fatty acid supplementation.
The review found marine omega-3 supplementation was associated over time with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, and that the risk was greater at daily doses of >1g.
Over the past two decades marine omega-3 fatty acid supplementation has been recommended, for healthy older adults and for cognitively impaired older adults, as being preventive/beneficial in relation to cognitive impairment.
The recommendations were usually for doses higher than 1g/d – so the results of this systematic review and meta-analysis are important for most patients using marine omega-3 fatty acid supplementation.
