Abstrakt: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), mainly obtained from fish, have been implicated in fetal development. Because few studies have examined maternal and umbilical cord blood fatty acid levels and infant body size in Japan with a fish-eating culture, we examined differences in plasma fatty acid levels in pregnant women and infant size at birth. This study is a large birth cohort study of 1476 pairs of Japanese pregnant women and their infants. Maternal blood DHA levels and infant birth weight showed a positive relationship. However, analysis adjusted for gestational age did not reveal correlations. Negative relationships were found between cord blood DHA levels and infant body size, and between the difference in mother-to-child DHA levels and infant body size. Thus, the smaller the birth size, the higher the differences in umbilical cord blood DHA levels and mother-to-child DHA levels when considering gestational age.
