About the thesis
The PhD study investigates effects of omega-3 fatty acids provided through oily fish on cognition, emotions, behavior and stress in healthy children with a focus on potential sex differences.
This was investigated in the FiSK Junior study, which was a two-arm parallel RCT in which 199 healthy Danish 8-9-year-old children were randomized to consume ~300 g/week oily fish or poultry (control) for 12±2 weeks.
