“…The present study aimed to estimate cost savings associated with a decreased risk of CHD via the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. As reflected in health claims, however, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in Korea is currently used to improve blood flow [ 7 ] and blood lipid profiles, which are related to the intermediate health outcomes of CHD. Thus, a cost-effectiveness analysis was not suitable for our research because it could not compare alternatives with different goals.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESBy the year 2050, thirty-eight percent of the Korean population will be over the age of 65. Health care costs for Koreans over age 65 reached 15.4 trillion Korean won in 2011, accounting for a third of the total health care costs for the population. Chronic degenerative diseases, including coronary heart disease (CHD), drive long-term health care costs at an alarming annual rate. In the elderly population, loss of independence is one of the main reasons for this increase in health care costs. Korean heath policies place a high priority on the prevention of CHD because it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality.SUBJECTS/METHODSThis evidence-based study aims to the estimate potential health care cost savings resulting from the daily intake of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation. Potential cost savings associated with a reduced risk of CHD and the medical costs potentially avoided through risk reduction, including hospitalizations and physician services, were estimated using a Congressional Budget Office cost accounting methodology.RESULTSThe estimate of the seven-year (2005-2011) net savings in medical costs resulting from a reduction in the incidence of CHD among the elderly population through the daily use of omega-3 fatty acids was approximately 210 billion Korean won. Approximately 92,997 hospitalizations due to CHD could be avoided over the seven years.CONCLUSIONSOur findings suggest that omega-3 supplementation in older individuals may yield substantial cost-savings by reducing the risk of CHD. It should be noted that additional health and cost benefits need to be revisited and re-evaluated as more is known about possible data sources or as new data become available.

“…In terms of lowering blood pressure, Omega-3pufas can reduce systolic blood pressure, and highdose EPA+DHA (22g/d) can slightly reduce diastolic blood pressure [25]. EPA and DHA can change vascular endothelial function by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress, improve arterial compliance, reduce systemic vascular resistance, and then reduce blood pressure.…”

The phrase "omega-3" refers to a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential for both physical growth and illness prevention. According to relevant scientific research, Omega-3 has a certain effect on puberty, its role is very important, and it may cover most of the characteristics of puberty. Through research, omega-3 intake has a profound impact on all aspects of adolescents, and most adolescents are deficient in omega-3. This article compares the various impacts of omega-3 on the human body and analyzes the physiological and psychological functions of omega-3 intake about adolescents, and the possible effects of insufficient intake on adolescents' bodies, so as to summarize the diseases that may be caused by omega-3 deficiency and its harmful effects on physical health. In general, Omega-3 has huge potential nutritional value, and its potential academic value has also received high attention from all walks of life. Its popularity is likely to continue to rise in the future, and it will have a broader market in the field of youth health care products.
