Effect of Omega 3 Supplementation on the Heart Rate Variability in Obese Children
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Obesity, Childhood
- Registration Number
- NCT06555705
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
Evidence shows that omega-3 fatty acids lower blood triglyceride levels, lower blood pressure, enhance insulin sensitivity, and improve heart rate variability (HRV) measures, all of which may be indicators of cardiovascular health.As a result, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may be a low-cost strategy with little adverse effects for obese youngsters, perhaps delaying the development of chronic cardiovascular illnesses.
- Detailed Description
This is a two-armed study , the interventional group will be given omega 3 and the control group will be given a placebo and both will be examined for the heart rate variability
