Brief summary

This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal association between n-6:n-3 LCPUFAs ratio in cord blood and child ADHD symptoms at 4 and 7 years old. This study was based on the INMA project, a population-based birth cohort in Spain. Higher cord blood n-6:n-3 ratio was associated with higher subclinical ADHD symptoms during early and mid-childhood.
