Association between omega-3 index and depersonalization among healthcare workers in a university hospital: a cross-sectional study
An omega-3 index below 4% seems to potentially be a biological correlate of depersonalization. Our results contribute to enlarging the knowledge about burnout biological correlates, an area that has been previously signalled as underdeveloped. Omega-3 index should be included in prospective studies that will investigate the evolution of other burnout biological correlates as the syndrome emerges and progresses in subjects at risk.
