Scope

What is the exposure-response function (ERF) of omega-3 fatty acids?

Definition

Exposure-response of fish oil intake for MI risk in adults is indexed by variable age. It applies to the last two age categories.

Data

The study by Cohen et al. 2005 [1] estimates that increasing maternal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake by 100 mg/day increases child's IQ by 0.13 points D↷. This value represents central estimate while the upper and lower bound for this ERF is 0.08 and 0.18. Triangular distribution is used.

Dependencies

None defined.

Unit

IQ points/(100mg omega-3/d)
