Abstract
There is evidence for preventive and therapeutic effects of dietary omega-3 fats in rheumatoid arthritis. While doses of up to several grams per day of fish-derived fatty acids may be necessary for therapeutic effects in long-standing rheumatoid arthritis, much lower doses should provide benefits to reduce the mortality from cardiovascular disease in this inflammatory disorder.
