Low Blood Long Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids in UK Children Are Associated with Poor Cognitive Performance and Behavior: A Cross-Sectional Analysis from the DOLAB Study

---

Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), especially DHA (docosahexaenonic acid) are
essential for brain development and physical health. Low blood Omega-3 LC-PUFA have been reported in children with
ADHD and related behavior/learning difficulties, as have benefits from dietary supplementation. Little is known, however,
about blood fatty acid status in the general child population. We therefore investigated this in relation to age-standardized
measures of behavior and cognition in a representative sample of children from mainstream schools
