Seafood intake in childhood/adolescence and the risk of obesity: results from a Nationwide Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Obesity has been linked to various detrimental health consequences. While there is established evidence of a negative correlation between seafood consumption and obesity in adults, the current research on the association between seafood intake in childhood/adolescence and the risk of obesity is lacking.

Methods
