“…The presence of 98 long-chain PUFAs (LCPUFAs) in breast milk has been suggested as 99 a potential mechanism for beneficial effects of breastfeeding on 100 subsequent health outcomes such as a lower blood pressure [19], 101 but randomized controlled trials with PUFA supplementation to 102 infant formula, or to lactating or pregnant women have reported 103 inconsistent effects on blood pressure in later childhood [20][21][22][23][24]. 104 Therefore, our aim was to systematically review the current lit- 105 erature on the effects of PUFA intake and blood levels, during preg- 106 nancy, lactation, or in early childhood up to the age of 5 y, on 107 cardiometabolic health. Cardiometabolic outcomes included obe- 108 sity (body mass index (BMI), weight-for-height, or body fat), blood 109 pressure, blood lipids (triacylglycerol (TAGs), or total, low-density 110 lipoprotein (LDL), or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol), 111 and measures of insulin sensitivity (glucose or insulin levels, or 112 homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)).…”
