Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean diet during early pregnancy on the cognitive and behavioral development of infants under one year in Iran.
- Involving 658 mothers and their infants, the research used a food frequency questionnaire to determine diet quality and assessed child development through the Ages and Stages Questionnaire at 6 months.
- Results indicated that infants whose mothers had higher Mediterranean diet scores showed a reduced risk of communication impairments, suggesting potential benefits of this diet on early development, though more extensive studies are necessary to support these findings.
