Correlation between the erythrocyte levels of docosahexaenoic acid (RBC DHA) at 18 months and change in mean arterial pressure (MAP) during the intervention. The black and white dots give values from the fish oil and sunflower oil group, respectively. Regression lines: girls (r = 0.23, p = 0.12, n = 47) and boys (r = −0.38, p = 0.005, n = 52). Baseline-adjusted MAP values at 18 months among girls were as follows: 86.2 ± 2.7 and 82.3 ± 2.8, and among boys: 82.5 ± 2.1 and 89.7 ± 1.8 in the FO and SO group, respectively
