“…Our results showed a weak correlation between fatty acid intake as estimated by the FFQ and maternal serum composition (from r s = 0.176 to r s = 0.352). These results are in agreement with those observed in other studies of FFQs among nonpregnant and pregnant women (Mikkelsen et al ., ; Garneau et al ., ; Markhus et al ., ). Hodge et al .…”

“…Markhus et al . () validated a seafood‐specific FFQ administered to Norwegian women ( n = 54) against the n ‐3 concentration in erythrocytes at 24 weeks of gestation. Converting the frequency of seafood intake into a numerical scale, a positive correlation with EPA ( r s = 0.53, P < 0.001) and DHA ( r s = 0.37, P = 0.01) was observed.…”

“…A revised and extended version of a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) [29,30] was completed by the adolescents both before and after the intervention to assess their habitual diet during the last 3 months. The purpose of the FFQ was to monitor the participants’ habitual diet (i.e.…”

There is a growing body of evidence linking fish consumption and n-3 LCPUFAs to mental health. Still, the results from randomized trials with n-3 LCPUFAs show conflicting results, and it is possible that the combined effect of several nutrients in fish may explain the observed associations. To aim of the present study was to investigate if school meals with fatty fish three times per week for 12 weeks could alter mental health in a sample of typically developing adolescents. In the Fish Intervention Studies-TEENS (FINS-TEENS), adolescents from eight secondary schools (n=425) in Norway, were randomized to receive school meals with fatty fish, meat or n-3 LCPUFA supplements. Mental health was assessed with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the differences between the groups were assessed with linear mixed effect models, unadjusted and adjusted for baseline and dietary compliance. The results showed no effects of school meals with fatty fish compared to similar meals with meat or n-3 LCPUFAs on the adolescents’ self-reported symptom scores for mental health. Among adolescents scoring above the SDQ cut-offs (high-scorers), the fish- improved less than the meat group in the self-reported symptom scores for total difficulties- and emotional problems. However, the findings should be regarded as preliminary, as the analyses for the high-scorer group were underpowered. In conclusion, serving school meals with fatty fish did not alter mental health in a typically developing sample of adolescents. It is possible that serving healthy school meals with meat is more beneficial than similar meals with fatty fish in adolescents scoring high on mental health problems. However, the results should be seen as preliminary, as the dietary compliance in the fish group was low and the analyses in the high score group underpowered. Thus, further studies should investigate the associations between fish consumption and adolescents’ mental health.

“…From January 2016 until February 2017, information regarding the intervention trial was included in the postal mail, sent from the Women's Clinic, with the date/time for the routine ultrasound (RU). In Norway, the RU takes place in gestational week [17][18][19]. To ensure sufficient participants information regarding the trial and invitation to participate was also broadcasted online (Facebook, Instagram, and magazine for pregnant in Norway).…”

“…The habitual diet of both intervention and control group is reported in a short Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) in gestational week 18 and 35, and three-, six, and eleven months postpartum. The FFQ captures iodine rich foodstuff (seafood, milk, dairy, eggs and supplements), is based on a validated short seafood FFQ developed to analyze food habits in pregnant and postpartum women [17]. Infant's dietary intake will be collected through nonvalidated FFQ's (custom to the infants' age) at three-, six-and eleven months of age.…”

Background: Iodine is a key component of thyroid hormones that are critical for normal development of the brain and nervous system in utero. Recent results indicate that two thirds of pregnant women in Europe have sub-optimal iodine nutrition. In Norway, milk and seafood are the most important dietary iodine sources and contributes to about 80% of the intake. Method: Two-armed randomized trial where 137 pregnant women were randomized to either receiving cod twice weekly, or continue with habitual diet for 16 weeks (pregnancy week 20-36). Socioeconomic-and demographic factors, dietary information and biological (urine, blood, and hair) samples are collected pre-and post-intervention, and at six weeks, three-, six-, and eleven months postpartum. Biological samples (urine, blood, and hair) of the infant are collected at six weeks, three-, six-, and eleven months postnatal.
