Omega 3 Fatty Acids And Premature Babies
Omega 3 fatty acids and the development of premature babies
A six year study led by Dr Maria Makrides, University of Adelaide has shown that high dosage of omega 3 fatty acids given to pre-term infants via breast milk or fomula can help babies development.
Researchers found that the omega 3 fatty acids in the brain isnt developed sufficiently in babies born before 33 weeks gestation which can lead to possible impaired mental development.
657 premature babies took part in the study and were given increased dosage of DHA. About 50% fewer infants on higher DHA had delayed mental developement compared with low DHA diets.
Premature girls in particular who were exposed to DHA rich diets showed much better mental developement.
These finding were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
