- Abstract
The article presents a study on the association of fish and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) consumption with bone mineral density (BMD) and hip fracture risk and examined if high linoleic acid (LA) intake modifies such links. The study population were participants from the Cardiovascular Health Study with a minimum age of 65. It is concluded that fish consumption was associated with very small differences in BMD and had no connection with hip fracture, and that high LA intake did not affect these associations.
