The said trial will take place at 52 sites across the United States and is seeking 400 participants aged 50 and older with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Fish have long been endorsed for a heart-healthy diet and new studies have associated omega-3 fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid or DHA) found in the oil of certain fish to reduction of risk of Alzheimer's disease.
There has indeed been a lot of buzz on DHA's effects on dementia and other neurological degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's. This trial is one big take to confirm such positive associations.
If interested in participating in the said study, you may call (314) 286-2683 at Washington University School of Medicine or (314) 268-5385 at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
Find more details from the full report.
