| Abstract |
To investigate the effect of a long-term fatty fish intervention on a pure cognitive mechanism important for self-regulation and mental health, i.e. working memory (WM), controlling for age and IQ. A randomized controlled trial. A forensic facility. Eighty-four young to middle aged male forensic inpatients with psychiatric disorders. Consumption of farmed salmon or control meal (meat) three times a week during 23 weeks. Performance on WM tasks, both accuracy and mean reaction time, were recorded pre and post intervention. Performance on a cognitive functioning tasks taxing WM seemed to be explained by age and IQ. Fatty fish consumption did not improve WM performance in a group of young to middle aged adults with mental health problems, as less impressionable factors such as aging and intelligence seemed to be the key components. The present study improves the knowledge concerning the interaction among nutrition, health and the aging process. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 June 2018.
All research outputs
#16,839,069
of 25,540,105 outputs
Outputs from The journal of nutrition, health & aging
#1,501
of 1,985 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#211,470
of 344,210 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The journal of nutrition, health & aging
#32
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,540,105 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,985 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.0. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,210 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
