Effect of Omega 3 Supplementation on the Heart Rate Variability in Obese Children

NCT ID: NCT06555705 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 60 Completion: 2024-09-03

Conditions

Obesity, Childhood

Interventions

Placebo, Omega 3

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.

Primary Outcome

The effect of omega-3 on heart rate variability that is represented in the root mean square of successive differences of the heart rates ( RMSSD ) in obese children
