Relationship between changes in polyunsaturated fatty acids and aging-related arterial stiffness in overweight subjects 50Â years or older over a 3-year period

This study suggests that the persistence of overweight over 3 years in subjects ≥50 years old is associated with faster arterial stiffening than is observed in normal-weight subjects and that this stiffening is independently associated with increases in AA/LA and decreases in EPA/AA ratios.
