Three percent had an Index of <4, placing them in the high risk category for disease. On average, adolescents from low or medium socioeconomic communities had a significantly lower omega-3 Index compared to those from higher socioeconomic neighbourhoods (mean difference=1.4, p=0.018). Overall 20% of boys and 17% of girls reported regularly taking omega-3 supplements. Regular use of omega-3 supplements was associated with a higher average omega-3 Index (9.8±3.7, n=44 compared to 8.0±3.0, n=203, p=0.001 in those not taking supplements). Conclusion: This study indicates that Australian adolescents, even when from advantaged homes, have a high probability of below optimum omega-3 levels. As reduced omega-3 levels are linked to conditions of public health concern such as diabetes, asthma and depression, targeted strategies to improve the omega-3 status in the childhood population may be warranted.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:39:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22942 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:25:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14801 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:26:36 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11233 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:09:50 AEDT ]]>
