What is Effects of Ethyl-eicosapentaenoic Acid Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Hot Flashes and Quality of Life Among Middle-aged Women: a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial about?
## Objective: To compare the effects of enriched ethyl-eicosapentaenoic acid (e-epa) omega-3 fatty acid supplementation with those of placebo on hot flashes (hfs) and quality of life among middle-aged women. ## Methods: Women were considered for participation if they were between 40 and 55 years of age and had moderate to severe psychological distress. a total of 120 women were randomly assigned to e-epa or placebo for 8 weeks. only women with hfs were included in this analysis (e-epa, n = 45; placebo, n = 46). outcomes were changes from baseline to week 8 postintervention regarding hot flash (hf) frequency (number of hfs per day), intensity and score (frequency x intensity), and menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire scores. ## Results: At baseline, the average number of hfs was 2.8 per day. after 8 weeks, hf frequency and score decreased significantly in the e-epa group compared with the placebo group. there was no difference in the change in hf intensity between groups. frequency of hfs declined by a mean of 1.58 per day (95% ci, -2.18 to -0.98) in the e-epa group and by 0.50 per day (95% ci, -1.20 to 0.20) in the placebo group. the odds of being a responder among thos
