Omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have anti-inflammatory properties and are associated with reduced CVD risk. In Japanese study, high serum EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)/AA (arachidonic acid) ratio (>0.404) was significantly associated with a low incidence (12.7%) of MACE compared with lower EPA/AA (23.9%). But it has not been reported the EPA/AA ratio in psoriasis patients.
