The association of Mediterranean diet during pregnancy with longitudinal body mass index trajectories and cardiometabolic risk in early childhood
The Journal of Pediatrics Nov 16, 2018
Fernández-Barrés S, et al. - Researchers investigated whether there was an association between maternal adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy and their offspring's longitudinal body mass index (BMI) trajectories and cardiometabolic risk in early childhood. For this investigation, mother-child pairs from the Infancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA) longitudinal cohort study were included in Spain. Findings suggested an association of higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet in pregnancy with lower risk of having offspring with an accelerated growth pattern. This dietary pattern was not linked to the cardiometabolic risk of the offspring at 4 years.
