That is, greater plasma concentraion [sic] of omega-6 meant better nerve conduction, lower concentration predicted accelerated peripheral nerve decline.
It did, really? Then can you tell us why arachidonic acid is the only fatty acid negatively associated with nerve velocity in the < 65 year age group?
In the same age group: α-linolenic (18∶3ω−3) had been the fatty acid most associated with nerve velocity, just as you'd expect from a DHA precursor. Docosahexanoic acid (22∶6ω−3) itself had been found most associated in the 65–84 year old group, another group in which arachidonic acid was found negatively correlated. Due to only 26 participants, it would be fair to consider the > 85 group far less-reliable than the others.
