Mother-child pairs from a prenatal docosahexaenoic acid supplementation RCT and the offspring follow-up study were included.

Intake was averaged across infancy (Year 1: 2 weeks/6 months) and toddlerhood (Year 2: 12 months/24 months). Anthropometric (<em>n</em> = 130) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (<em>n</em> = 42) data were collected at 24 months. Multiple hierarchical regression examined associations, with interaction terms testing ethnic differences. Higher AS intake in Year 1 predicted higher weight, fat-free mass, and total adiposity. Compared to non-Hispanic offspring, the association of Year 1 fructose intake with weight and Year 2 AS intake with fat-free mass and central fat mass, were weaker in Hispanic offspring. No other significant associations were observed. The relationships between early AS and fructose intake with body composition are dynamic over time and vary by ethnicity.
