Typical adult range 1–48
What it is

Arachidonic acid divided by DHA, the same comparison as the AA/EPA ratio but against the slower-moving omega-3.

Why it matters

Because DHA turns over slowly, this ratio reflects months of intake rather than the past few weeks.

Reading the number

Expect it to lag the AA/EPA ratio by a season when you change your diet. As with any ratio, read one of the two values underneath it to see which moved.

Worth reading with DHA rather than as a number on its own.
