Dietary n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids From Fish Are Associated With Better Healthy Aging Indicators: Results of the DIAPELH Study.
Article in Journal of human nutrition and dietetics : the official journal of the British Dietetic Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPromoting healthy aging is a public health goal, especially in regions with a high proportion of older adults, such as Greece. This cross-sectional study investigated the association of fish n-3 PUFA intake with indicators of healthy aging among older Greek Peloponnesian adults.
methodsIn total, 449 individuals > 60 years of age were enroled. Sociodemographic, anthropometrical, medical, mobility, balance, lifestyle, dietary, cognitive and mental characteristics were assessed through validated questionnaires and procedures.
resultsAnalyses revealed that n-3 PUFA intake was associated with fewer depression symptoms (p < 0.001), higher cognition levels (p = 0.012) and levels of healthy aging (p < 0.001), derived from Successful Aging Index (SAI). In parallel, n-3 PUFA intake was associated with higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet (p < 0.001). Additionally, n-3 PUFA intake was inversely correlated with the presence of long COVID-19 symptomatology (p = 0.036). No association of n-3 PUFA intake with mobility or physical performance and balance (all ps> 0.05) was detected.
conclusionThe results underscore the significance of nutrition in older adults, highlighting the possible protective impact of n-3 PUFAs on maintaining functionality. Future prospective studies may validate these associations and contribute to the development of targeted nutritional strategies for older adults.
