The purpose of FiSK Junior is to investigate whether intake of oily fish compared to poultry affects cardiovascular risk markers, cognitive function, and behaviour in healthy children.
The FiSK Junior study compares the effects of consuming oily fish versus poultry (control) in healthy 8-9 year-old Danish children. The children will be randomized to consume approximately 300 g/week of either oily fish or poultry for 12 weeks. Measurements and biological sampling will be performed at baseline and at the end of the intervention.
The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect on cardiovascular risk markers, primarily blood pressure and plasma triacylglycerol. Moreover, the effects on cognitive function, behaviour, emotions and physiological stress response will be assessed. In addition, change in n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid status (compliance), anthropometry, body composition, vitamin D status, inflammatory markers, growth markers, physical activity and diet will be measured. Outcomes will be analysed with focus on potential gender- and genotype-specific effects.
