Association between maternal intake of n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratio during pregnancy and infant neurodevelopment at 6 months of age: results of the MOCEH cohort study

摘要

Background & aimsLong-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are essential for infant neurodevelopment. The nutritional adequacy of dietary LC-PUFAs depends not only on the LC-PUFAs intake but also on the n-6 to n-3 fatty acid ratio (n-6-3 PUFAs). This study aimed to identify the association between the maternal dietary n-6-3 PUFAs and motor and cognitive development of infants at 6 months of age.
