The researchers found in 3 studies in children, that the consumption of many fish compared to little, the chance of getting asthma significantly with 25% [95% CI = 0.61-0.94, I2 = 11.5%] reduced.

The researchers found in 2 studies that a high-value n3 Pufas blood during pregnancy the likelihood of getting a child with asthma significantly with 29% [95% CI = 0.52-0.96, I2 = 0%] reduced.

The researchers found in studies with adults, of which 3 82553 1311 adults with asthma, no significant association between the consumption of both fish and n3-Pufas and getting asthma.
