Lower Omega-3 Status Associated with Higher Erythrocyte Distribution Width and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in UK Biobank Cohort Open
High red blood distribution width (RDW) is associated with decreased red blood cell deformability, and high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a biomarker of systemic inflammation and innate-adaptive immune system imbalance. Both RDW and…

The Omega-3 Index is Inversely Associated with the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Adults Open
Summary The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a biomarker of systemic inflammation and measures innate-adaptive immune system balance. The omega-3-index (O3I) measures the amount of EPA+DHA in blood. Both a low O3I and an elevated NLR a…

Omega-3 Index is Directly Associated with a Healthy Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Open
Summary Low red blood cell (RBC) membrane content of EPA and DHA, i.e., the omega-3 index (O3I), and elevated RBC distribution width (RDW) are risk factors for all-cause mortality. O3I and RDW are related with membrane fluidity and deforma…
