Blood n-3 fatty acid levels and total and cause-specific mortality from 17 prospective studies - Nature Communications
Associations between of omega-3 fatty acids and mortality are not clear. Here the authors report that, based on a pooled analysis of 17 prospective cohort studies, higher blood omega-3 fatty acid levels correlate with lower risk of all-cause mortality.

16 year study showing marine based Omega 3s are associated with reduced mortality, heart disease and cancer. Plant based omega 3, alpha linolenic, shows no benefit. Higher Marine omega 3s associated with 9-13% lower mortality. To
me, this does not seem substantial. Maybe people who eat fish and supplement fish oil practice other healthy habits like exercise. Maybe an expert can break this report down to layman’s terms. Haidut?? ?
