Summary

Omega-3 Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids has potential as a supplement that can accelerate the effects of a weight management program in children. This study assessed the effects of fish oil supplementation on biochemical profile, body composition, diet and physical activity of obese children. A total of 37 obese children (7-11 years) were randomized to intervention (n=19) or control (n=18) group. Data were collected at baseline, at follow-up (every four weeks) and at 24 of the interventions. The intervention group (IG) received stage-based lifestyle modification intervention and fish oil supplement, while the control group (CG) received stage-based lifestyle modification intervention only. Changes in biochemical profile, body composition, diet and physical activity were examined in both intervention and control groups.
