Fish Oil Shows Promise for Alzheimer's Gene Carriers

New study finds fish oil supplements may slow brain cell breakdown in older adults with genetic risk for Alzheimer's.

Research by Oregon Health & Science University involved 102 participants aged 75 and older.
Participants with the APOE4 gene saw a significant reduction in brain cell breakdown with fish oil.
No statistically significant benefits were found for older adults without the genetic risk.
The study utilized MRIs to measure changes in white matter lesions over three years.
Experts call for larger, more diverse trials to confirm these findings.
