The results of 4-year monitoring of men with hereditary history of ischemic heart disease are presented. The examinees were divided into two groups: a group of diet correction with alimentary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) extracted from Far Eastern sardine oil and a control group which did not take part in the preventive treatment. The composition of fatty acids of erythrocytes of men from the study and control groups was analyzed in the course of preventative treatment, 3, 6 months and 4 years after it. It has been proved that the progress of disorder in composition of fatty acids in men can be stopped by using alimentary omega-3 PUFA.
