Introduction and Background According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, stroke is the 5th leading cause of mortality in the US, and a leading cause of significant long-term disability where almost 50% of stroke survivors, age 65 and above, suffer from disabling decrease in mobility.
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for a large proportion of annual deaths around the world. In both the general population as well as in high-risk subgroups, achieving a healthy diet is one approach to lower the risk for CVD. Fish oil supplements have been widely investigated for
BACKGROUND
There are four long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA 18:3n-3) is found in plants. However the remaining three omega-3 PUFAs, which are longer and more unsaturated (Eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA 20:5n-3, Docosapentaenoic acid, DPA 22:5n-3, and
Diabetes is a public health problem of epidemic proportions. According to the 2017 National Diabetes Statistics Report, 30 million people, or 9.4% of the U.S. population, are estimated to have diabetes, of which 23.1 million people are diagnosed. About 84.1 million people, or 1 in 3 people in the

Consumption of fish provides a vital contribution to the survival and health of a significant portion of the world's population. Lipids in fish foods consist mainly of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenic acid (EPA, C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid
Micronutrients (including vitamins, minerals and certain polyunsaturated fatty acids) are required by the brain for normal functioning and, with few exceptions, can only be obtained through dietary sources. Research into degenerative diseases of aging have linked mitochondrial aging and DNA damage
Background:
Sudden cardiac death (SCD), also termed sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), accounts for approximately 15 percent of the total mortality in industrialized countries. In Europe, the incidence of out-of-hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) attended sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is estimated to
Hypertension has become one of the most common diseases in the world and considered a public health challenge due to its association with morbidity and mortality and increased cost to society. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease,
Background Information and Scientific Rationale
Consumption of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 22:5n-3), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) from fish and fish-oil supplements reduces disease risk
The BALANCE Program will investigate the effect of the Program in reducing cardiovascular events, such as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, myocardial revascularization, amputation for peripheral arterial disease, hospitalization for unstable angina, or death in patients with
