Abstract

Background: This study assessed omega-3 fatty acid (O3FA) status, previous brain injury risk exposures, and associations between O3FA status and risk exposures among active-duty military personnel.

Methods: O3FA status was measured by a Holman omega-3 blood test. A survey was conducted to assess brain injury risk history and dietary O3FA factors.

Results: More than 50% of the participants had high-risk status, based on an omega-3 index (O3I) <4%, while less than 2% of the participants recorded low-risk O3I (>8%). O3FA supplementation (p<.001, Cramer's V=0.342) and fish consumption (p<.001, Cramer's V=0.210) were positively correlated with O3FA status. Only 5 O3FA supplement users (n=97 [5.2%]) had a low-risk O3I status, while all nonusers (n=223) had moderateto high-risk O3I status.

Conclusions: Supplementing with O3FA was associated with better O3I status in this population. However, only a few participants achieved optimal O3I status even when taking an O3FA supplement. Participants who ate fish and did not supplement were in the moderateor high-risk O3I groups.

影响现役军人 Omega-3 指数状况的因素。

背景：本研究评估了现役军人中的欧ω-3 脂肪酸（O3FA）状况、先前的脑损伤风险暴露以及 O3FA 状况与风险暴露之间的关联：本研究评估了现役军人的欧米伽-3脂肪酸（O3FA）状况、以往脑损伤风险暴露以及O3FA状况与风险暴露之间的关联：方法：通过霍尔曼omega-3血液测试测量O3FA状态。方法：通过霍尔曼欧米茄-3 血液测试测量 O3FA 状态，并进行调查以评估脑损伤风险史和饮食中的 O3FA 因素：结果：根据欧米伽-3 指数（O3I）8%），50% 以上的参与者处于高风险状态。补充 O3FA（p结论：补充 O3FA 与改善该人群的 O3I 状况有关。然而，即使补充了 O3FA，也只有少数参与者达到了最佳 O3I 状态。吃鱼而不补充的参与者属于中度或高风险 O3I 组。
