MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study has a systematic, observational and retrospective review design; of articles with full text, which identified their grade or quality of evidence according to the Grade System. Likewise, the sample was made up of 10 articles obtained from the following databases Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Dialnet, Scielo, and Lilacs.

Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% demonstrate that the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is effective in preventing the risk of Parkinson's disease in older adults. CONCLUSIONS: The 10 articles showed that the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids is effective in preventing the risk of Parkinson's disease in older adults; That is, it prevents or delays the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, with beneficial effects that protect the brain, increasing the activity of glutathione reductase (enzyme that combats oxidative stress), which produces a lower accumulation of oxidized proteins, one of the problems of Parkinson.
