Guidelines for suggested intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are limited in youth and rely primarily on age. However, body weight varies considerably within age classifications. The current analyses examined effects of body weight and body mass index (BMI) on fatty acid accumulation in 64 youth (7-14 years) with a diagnosed mood disorder in a double-blind randomized-controlled trial (2000 mg w-3 supplements or a control capsule) across 12 weeks. Weight and height were measured at the first study visit and EPA and DHA levels were determined using fasting blood samples obtained at both the first and end of-study visits. In the w-3 supplementation group, higher baseline body weight predicted less plasma accumulation of both EPA [B =-0.047, (95% CI =-0.077;-0.017), omega =-0.54, p = 0.003] and DHA [B =-0.02, (95% CI =-0.034;-0.007), omega =-0.52, p = 0.004]. Similarly, higher BMI percentile as well as BMI category (underweight, normal weight, overweight/obese) predicted less accumulation of EPA and DHA (ps
