The Australian Bureau of Statistics recently estimated that 7-19% of children have learning and behaviour problems associated with child ADHD. Concurrently, rates of dementia are rapidly increasing worldwide, currently costing the Australian government $6.6 billion pa, and it has been predicted that rates of dementia could double every 20 years. If omega-3 PUFA research can show benefits in cognition and behaviour across the lifespan, this has potential benefit for fish oil products and their ability to enhance mental health and cognitive outcomes, thereby helping to lower the substantial social and health care costs associated with poor academic performance, mental illness and growing rates of dementia.

澳大利亚统计局最近估计，7-19%的儿童有与儿童多动症相关的学习和行为问题。与此同时，痴呆症的发病率在全球范围内迅速上升，目前澳大利亚政府每年花费66亿美元，据预测，痴呆症的发病率可能每20年翻一番。如果omega-3 PUFA研究可以显示出在整个生命周期中对认知和行为的益处，这对鱼油产品及其增强心理健康和认知结果的能力具有潜在的益处，从而有助于降低与学习成绩差，精神疾病和痴呆症发病率上升相关的社会和医疗保健成本。
