We examined whether 6 months of daily dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) + arachidonic acid (AA) supplementation at age 1-year reduced attention problems and likelihood of ADHD and ASD diagnoses in children born preterm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the Omega Tots randomized placebo-controlled trial, children born at &lt;35 weeks\u2019 gestation received daily DHA (200 mg) + AA (200 mg) or placebo (400 mg corn oil) at 10\u201316 months\u2019 corrected age. This long-term follow-up assessed outcomes at 8.5\u201310.5 years. Outcomes included parent- and teacher-rated attention problems, performance on the Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test (continuous performance task), and medical record diagnoses of ASD and ADHD. Mixed linear and log-binomial regression models estimated treatment effects.

DHA+AA was associated with fewer teacher-rated attention problems among children with birthweight&gt;1500g (difference=-2.97; 95% CI=-5.38, -0.55).
