Erythrocyte DHA and AA in infancy is not associated with developmental status and cognitive functioning five years later in Nepalese children

摘要

BackgroundLong chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are crucial for normal brain development in utero and in early infancy. Data on fatty acid status and cognitive development in infants and children from low-income countries are scarce.
