ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the nutritional status of omega-3 fatty acids in older adults in Spain, particularly those over 60 years of age. Researchers want to understand how dietary habits, such as fish consumption, and different socioeconomic factors might influence the levels of omega-3 in their bodies. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for health, and low levels may be linked to an increased risk of heart disease and other health issues. The trial aims to measure the omega-3 levels in participants' blood and see how these levels relate to their food intake and overall health.
To take part in the study, participants must be over 60 years old and not have any diseases that affect their nutritional status, such as gastrointestinal issues, cancer, or chronic kidney disease. Participants can expect to answer questionnaires about their eating habits and health history, and they will provide a small blood sample using a simple finger prick. This study will help researchers better understand the omega-3 levels in older adults and how to improve their nutrition for better health outcomes.
