}The association between n-3 PUFA intake and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is unclear, and studies relating objective biomarkers of n-3 PUFA consumption to diabetic status remain limited. The aim of this study was to determine whether erythrocyte n-3 PUFA levels (n-3 index; n-3I) are associated with T2D in a cohort of older adults (n 608). To achieve this, the n-3I (erythrocyte %EPA+%DHA) was determined by GC and associated with fasting blood glucose; HbA1c; and plasma insulin. Insulin resistance (IR…

Higher n-6 PUFA status may be protective against the risk of T2DM in men, and this association remained consistently significant in the fully adjusted multivariate models, while no significant associations between n- 6 PUFAs and T2 DM risk were observed in women, regardless of model adjustment.

One objective of ‘fat for Africa’ could be to increase, as much as possible, the dietary intake of LC n-3 PUFA by promoting sustainable aquaculture and to maintain asmuch as possible traditional dietary pattern by preventing a tendency to westernisation.
