Abstract
Background Long-chain marine omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid; EPA and docosahexaenoic acid; DHA) have anti-inflammatory effects. Dietary intake of EPA and DHA in pregnancy was associated with lower offspring risk of asthma in a randomized trial, and lower risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring in retrospective observational studies.
