| dc.description.abstract | Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids essential for growth, development, health and reduce risks of metabolic disorders. A study was conducted to create awareness about significance of omega 3 fatty acids among 103 urban women (20–70 years) from five different locations of Dharwad. Efficacy of omega 3 enriched food on lipid profile of 12 hyperlipidemic women volunteers was tested through dietary intervention of 90 days. Nutrition education materials viz., booklet, pamphlet, charts and power point slides depicting significance of omega 3 fatty acids were developed in both English and Kannada language. Education sessions included lectures, discussions, demonstrations and exhibition. Two educational sessions were conducted with an interval of 15 days. Omega 3 rich foods viz., chapathi, laddu, and chutney powders incorporating flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) a richest plant source of omega 3 fatty acid (22.8g/100g) were promoted in daily diet. Gain in knowledge was evaluated using an open ended questionnaire. Results indicated a significant gain in knowledge, besides a positive change in terms of omega 3 fatty acid enrichment of diets among the respondents. Omega 3 fatty acid rich chapathi was the most acceptable (67.98%). Dietary intervention with omega 3 rich chapathi among hyperlipidemics revealed significant reduction in total cholesterol (12.20%), triglycerides (15.29%), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (13.85%), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (12.00%). High density lipoprotein cholesterol increased by 3.41 per cent. The decrease in ratio of TC: HDL-C (15.00%) and LDL-C: HDL-C (17.20%) were observed. The systolic blood pressure decreased by 7.83 per cent after intervention. The study indicated beneficial impact on knowledge gain and improvement of lipid profile. | en_US |
