Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how oral sensory hypersensitivity and social-emotional responses in typically developing preteen children relate to their eating behaviors, especially focusing on traits like fussy eating and desire to drink.
- - Using data from 130 mother-child pairs, researchers employed established sensory profile assessments and a children's eating behavior questionnaire to analyze the connections between child and maternal sensory processing traits.
- - Results showed that children with higher oral sensory processing sensitivity often exhibited increased food fussiness and a greater desire to drink, while maternal sensory profiles revealed significant correlations with their children's sensory traits, indicating a shared sensory processing influence.
Introduction: Maternal obesity is a significant risk factor for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. High diet quality may protect against this, yet data regarding the relationship between diet quality and blood pressure among pregnant women with raised body mass index (BMI) is limited.
Material And Methods: This is a secondary analysis (n = 543) of women with BMI ≥25 kg/m from two randomized controlled trials; PEARS (Pregnancy Exercise and nutrition Research Study with smartphone application support) and ROLO (Randomized cOntrol trial of LOw glycemic index diet to prevent macrosomia in euglycemic women).
