Associations between whole blood n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiometabolic risk markers in the children.

Values are slope coefficients (95% CI) for the association between the fatty acids and the cardiometabolic markers linear mixed models adjusted for school, class, parental education, sex, puberty, age, and total concentration of fatty acids in whole blood. Blood pressure and heart rate were further adjusted for height, ambient temperature and blood pressure device. Waist circumference, plasma glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR were further adjusted for height, and the metabolic syndrome score were adjusted for all of the above. If there was significant n-3 LCPUFA-sex interaction the analysis was performed in the sexes separately. BMI, body mass index; F, female; HDL, high density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance; LCPUFA; long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids; LDL, low density lipoprotein; M, male.*Interaction between sex and the n-3 LCPUFA, P-interactionAssociations between whole blood n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiometabolic risk markers in the children.
