Associations of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids Intake with Visceral Adiposity: Sex-Specific Patterns in a Population-Based Study
The EPA + DHA intake, EPA, and DHA intake were inversely associated with VAI in women, but not in men. Omega-6 intake was negatively associated with VAI in men and positively associated with VAI in women. It is important to highlight that, given the cross-sectional design, these associations do not establish temporality or causality.
