Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from maternal diet during pregnancy in the prospective study on the association between maternal dietary intake of PUFAs during pregnancy and atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) in children up to 7–9 years of age based on data from Polish Mother and Child Cohort (REPRO_PL) (557 mother–child pairs)

AA – arachidonic acid (C20:4n-6); ALA – alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3n-3); DGLA – dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3n-6); DHA – docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n-3); DPA – docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5n-3); EPA – eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3); LA – linoleic acid (C18:2n-6); SDA – stearidonic acid (C18:4n-3).

PUFAs – sum of n-3 and n-6.

n-3 = ALA + SDA + EPA + DPA+ DHA; n-6 = LA + DGLA + AA.
