Scientific titleEffect of early fatty acid status on neurodevelopmental outcome at 9 years
Study acronymLCP project
Study objectives1. Postnatal supplementation of infant formula with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) improves neurodevelopmental outcome at 9 years in healthy full-term infants
2. Neonatal fatty acid status affects neurodevelopmental outcome at 9 years in healthy full-term infants
Ethics approval(s)Received from local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDevelopmental disorder
InterventionThree groups:
1. Control formula (CF) group (n = 162),
