Completed
Conditions
Obesity
Registration Number
NCT03348566
Lead Sponsor
Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH)
Brief Summary

the investigators tested whether genetic variants near FADS cluster, which were recently identified to be signatures of adaptation to fish- and n-3 PUFAs-rich diet, interacted with these dietary factors on long-term change of body mass index (BMI).
