Article Synopsis
- * A total of 136 prisoners participated, with an impressive blood sample collection rate of 93%, and 100% of participants' aggression metrics were recorded using institutional records and behavioral assessments.
- * Although both supplement groups showed improvements, no significant differences were observed yet, indicating a larger sample size of 600 participants is necessary to conclusively assess the impact of these dietary supplements in a correctional setting.
Background: There is emerging evidence that the supplementation of omega-3 contributes to a decrease in aggressive behaviour in prison populations. A challenge of such research is achieving statistical power against effect sizes which may be affected by the baseline omega-3 index. There are no published data on the blood omega-3 index with studies of this kind to assess the variability of the blood omega-3 index in conjunction with aggression and attention deficit assessments.
