    533
The aim of the trial is to investigate the effect of daily supplementation with 2.7 grams of long chain n-3 fatty acids during the third trimester of pregnancy. In 1990, 533 pregnant women, while they were in gestational week 30, were randomized to fish oil supplements providing the mentioned amount of long chain n-3 fatty acids, olive oil supplements, or no supplements; they were asked to take the supplements until delivery. Health outcomes were assessed during pregnancy and delivery. Further, offspring health and development has been examined during the ensuring two decades by making linkages to the rich Danish health and administrative registries, by asking the offspring to complete web-based questionnaires, and by examining the offspring physically.
