Fish oil supplementation during pregnancy, anthropometrics, and metabolic health at age ten: A randomized clinical trial

CONCLUSIONS: In this randomized clinical trial, children of mothers receiving n-3 LCPUFA supplementation had increased BMI at age 10 y, increased risk of being overweight, and a tendency of increased fat percentage and higher metabolic syndrome score. These findings suggest potential adverse health effects from n-3 LCPUFA supplementation during pregnancy and need to be replicated in future independent studies. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00798226.PMID:38569788 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.12.015
