Abstract
We observed opposing associations of individual omega-6 PUFA with mortality risk. While LA and γ-linolenic acid were associated with reduced risk, there was a direct association for adrenic acid and docosapentaenoic acid. These differences do not support the use of omega-6 PUFA concentrations as a single combined metric, and the prognostic value of each individual member should be examined separately.
